Before it rains, its branches and leaves are particularly tall and moist, and its flowers are especially beautiful and intoxicating, so it is known as the "Rain Master". The ancients said that tamarisk is "the holy tree among trees", which is not an exaggeration. The flowering period of Tamarix japonica lasts for half a year, and the honey it produces is like amber in color and thick in texture.

The tamarisk forest in autumn is vast and vast, burning like fire on the plain, adding a tragic richness to the solemnity and vigor of the Yellow River. Millions of acres of tamarisk forest sway in the wind, drooping, as graceful as willows. In the forest, gulls fly and geese chirp, badgers and cranes dance, foxes and rabbits come and go, and birds roost. The fragrance of flowers is elegant and rich, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
