The over 19,000 hectares of desert poplar forests in Makit County of Kashgar Prefecture in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region have entered the best viewing season of the year, drawing visitors to the magnificent autumn scenery.
Standing on the southwestern edge of the Taklimakan, China's largest and the world's second-largest drifting desert, the forests have turned a brilliant gold as the day-night temperature gap widens, forming a striking contrast with the surrounding sand and the clear river waters.
The desert poplar is a rugged species of tree, known as "guardian of the desert". It is resistant to low temperatures, drought and saline-alkali soil, and serves as an ideal windbreak and sand-fixation plant.
