Where is the most beautiful Populus euphratica forest in China?

Talimu Populus euphratica Forest Park.

The Tarim Populus euphratica Forest Park is currently the most concentrated, well-preserved and representative area of ??original Populus euphratica forest in the world. Here is the world's largest, most densely distributed and best-surviving "Tertiary living fossil" - more than 400,000 acres of natural Populus euphratica forest.

As winter turns to spring, wild camels, wild boars, red deer and other rare animals appear in the forest, while swans, wild ducks, wild geese, gulls and other water birds fly in groups and sing above the lake. In late autumn, golden Populus euphratica decorates both sides of the Tarim River in a picturesque and splendid way.
