Every year during the golden autumn, Hu Yang trees bring life to the barren desert with their exquisite golden hues. Their unique living environment and form are praised as the most magical scenery and are also described as resplendent immortality.
Due to differences in natural conditions, southern Xinjiang is more suitable for the growth of Hu Yang. The counties of Luntai and Yuli along the Tarim River in southern Xinjiang are places where Hu Yang trees display their beauty most unrestrainedly.
Entering late October, the golden Hu Yang forests become one of the most beautiful autumn scenes in the country and also the best time for photographers to come for inspiration and shooting.
Missing these places is like not going at all.
The only desert Hu Yang forest park among the 1,200 forest parks in the world, it is one of the best places to view Hu Yang forests in Xinjiang.
Lop Nur People’s Village
The Lop Nur people are one of the rarest ethnic groups in Xinjiang, with only over 2,000 people remaining and are not listed among China’s 56 ethnic groups. They live by the river and have been isolated from the world for thousands of years, making a living by fishing in lakes in the desert and maintaining primitive customs and habits, filled with a mysterious aura. They are also known as the sons of Hu Yang and are known as the "people of Hu Yang deep in the Tarim River".
Upon entering the village, you will discover that the surrounding quaint Lop Nur people’s residences are built with Hu Yang tree trunks as the framework, woven with tamarisk twigs, and finally coated with mud. Even the main gate is simply made by piecing together two Hu Yang tree trunks. Although rudimentary, these purely natural buildings allow one to feel the most authentic frontier flavor.
To capture a Hu Yang (Populus euphratica) tree that embodies both form and spirit, it is advisable not to be greedy when selecting our subject. Especially in a cluttered forest, choose one to two classic Hu Yang trees with peculiar branch formations and cracked bark as the main subject.
