Deserts, Poplar forests, Lakes, off-season travel in Southern Xinjiang is not bad
📍Luobu Village
There was a warning earlier that the Poplar forest might be gone
So I feel lucky to encounter not just bare branches
"Desert for thousands of years, Poplar for a thousand years, Luobu people for a hundred years"
The early winter temperature starts to be unbearable, the scenic area Luobu people have retreated
There are fewer tourists along the way
The overall scene is more solemn and desolate in winter
But
The golden leaves on the ground of the Poplar forest form a carpet
The little brother is still fishing on the shallow beach of the Tarim River
The lake under the East Sand Mountain is still shining
Black swans are playing in pairs, as beautiful as a painting
Take the scenic spot sightseeing car from East Sand Mountain to Goddess Lake
Pass through the Taklamakan Desert all the way🏜️
Riding a camel in the desert and looking at the Goddess Lake
Still feel it's worth it
🎫: 50 (including sightseeing car)
⏱️: 10:00-18:30
🚗: It takes about 1.5h to drive from Kuerle city, there is a free parking lot at the entrance
❗️Notes
1⃣️It is recommended to take the scenic spot sightseeing car in two sections, the first section to Abudan Square. Most of the Poplar forest is on the way to East Sand Mountain, and then the second section belongs to East Sand Mountain-Goddess Lake-Abudan Square loop
2⃣️Most of the merchants have withdrawn this season, only a small amount of food is available at Abudan Square, but the commercialization mentioned by netizens is gone, and there are very few people, it's very comfortable to stroll around, and you can take pictures casually
3⃣️There are many projects in the scenic area, popular camel riding (80 yuan/person), glider, desert car, it was a bit cold and I just rode a camel and left, the scenery is really good

Don't go wrong! The wetland park next to the Luobu Village is more attractive
Friends going to Korla must go to 'Luobu Village', but I tell everyone with the experience of buying two tickets, don't rush into Luobu Village, it's more attractive to drive into 'Luobu Naor National Wetland Park' from the side!!!
'Luobu Village' and 'Luobu Naor National Wetland Park' are in the same location. The village takes a shuttle bus from the visitor center to visit, and the wetland park drives in from the side door to visit; the wetland park is larger and more primitive, I personally think it's okay to go directly to the wetland park!
🔸 Luobu Naor National Wetland Park 200r/car
The newly opened scenery, the original ecology is to buy tickets in the temporary shed at the entrance of the Luobu Village Visitor Center. It is a 46km ring road for self-driving, including several Populus euphratica landscapes. It is quite primitive. You can play as you like. The pictures are basically taken here. I personally think the experience is far better than Luobu Village
🔸 Luobu Village 49/person
The planned scenic area, there are many man-made scenes on the Populus euphratica forest, plus too many tour groups, the experience is not very good, the photos are not very good, the more highlights are the 'Goddess Lake' behind, which is more characteristic than the previous scenic spots~

An oasis in the desert, the Loulan Kurle Village
Great beauty of Xinjiang, the Loulan Kurle Village, is located in Dunhuang Township, Yuli County, Xinjiang. The Loulan people are a branch of the Uighur ethnic group, an ancient tribe unique to Xinjiang. For thousands of years, they have lived in isolation, and now only more than twenty households remain in the Lop Nur area, making a living by fishing, shrouded in mystery. They live by the water, and their way of life is not nomadic but based on fishing and hunting. Longevity is a major characteristic of the Loulan people,
the village is situated on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, with the Tarim River flowing through it, nourishing the poplar trees inside and outside the village. Due to the hot climate and rare rainfall in the desert area, almost every Loulan person's house is a simple wooden hut that is ventilated on all sides. The Loulan people 'only fish with small boats for food'. The Kaban boat is the local fishing boat, and the Fairy Lake is the largest lake in the scenic area. The scenic area covers 72 square kilometers, encompassing the Taklamakan Desert, shifting lakes, the Tarim River, primitive poplar forests, and grasslands. It is a distinctive scenic area that combines natural and cultural landscapes.

The weather in Southern Xinjiang is drier compared to Northern Xinjiang, so always stay hydrated!
Long travel distances by car, so buy snacks or dry food and water in advance. The sandy roads in Wensu Grand Canyon are not suitable for sandals.
The altitude near Taxkorgan can reach around 4000 meters, so avoid strenuous activities to prevent altitude sickness.

My friends say my photos are like prose poems
The setting sun slants westward, its afterglow sprinkling over the vast desert, like a golden poem. In the Populus euphratica forest, the trees stand quietly under the sunset, each branch seemingly telling a story of vicissitudes. Egrets dance gracefully, and flocks of sheep stroll leisurely on this plain. At this moment, the charm of the secret realm of the Rob village is fully revealed.
My Canon 5D3 is staring at this scene, capturing this beautiful moment. The scenery in the photo is like a prose poem, conveying my emotions and feelings to every viewer. Each photo is an expression of my soul, and each press of the shutter is a tribute to this land.
The Populus euphratica forest in Tarim, a land known as a photography hotspot in Xinjiang, has given me endless creative inspiration. I hope to bring the magnificent beauty of this nature to more people through these photos. When you appreciate these photos, I hope you can also feel the tranquility and shock I felt.
In this digital age, photos have become a way for us to record life. However, for me, photos are not just records, but expressions. Each shoot is a conversation with nature, a way for me to leave a mark in this world.

The Lop People are one of the oldest ethnic groups in Xinjiang, who do not live on grassland but live near the river. The village is originally one of the largest villages of the Lop people. If it is autumn, it will be more beautiful, as all the leaves are gold.

Robman Village, located 35 kilometers southwest of Yuli County, 85 kilometers south of Korla City. The village has a square area of 72 square kilometers and has more than 20 households. It is one of the largest villages in western China. I didn't know about it before
, but I liked the story about Lop Nur. The
Rob people are one of the oldest ethnic groups in Xinjiang. At first they lived on the side of the small sea on the banks of the Tarim River. "Do not grow grain, do not graze livestock, but feed on small boats for fishing."
this There are a variety of primitive Populus euphratica forests, where the Tarim River and the Sui River are intertwined, and the Taklimakan Desert is endless.
Today's Luobu village has become a tourist attraction. Visitors can listen to Luo people singing folk songs, watch Luobo dance around the campfire, sleep in the huts, enjoy the ancient Luo ethnic customs, and enjoy the fun of returning to nature.
Continue to go to the Taklimakan Desert. There is an artificial lake called "The Goddess Lake", which can experience fishing, boating and other entertainment projects. The desert tourist area can experience camel, desert car, beach volleyball and other projects, if the weather is not hot will be a good experience.

In the village of Luobu, there is a ruin in the Taklimakan Desert where the ancient people of the Luo people lived. The ancestors of the Luo people used fishing for their livelihoods because of the moist waters of the Tarim River. Not in the vastness, the reeds and Populus euphratica are still growing, and the figure of the Luo people is hard to find. Here you can also see the past scenes of Lop Nur. There is a very beautiful Populus euphratica. I think that Lop Nur was like this a long time ago!
Although the location of the Robb village is not in the Lop Nur that makes me fascinated, at least, they are descendants of Lop Nur. Desert, Populus euphratica, rivers, grilled fish, and Luobu people are connected to China's largest Taklimakan Desert. They also carry the relics of Lop Nur, the sampan of the sea, the change of Rob, the former roast fish is still fragrant, and the once big river is integrated into the desert.
Rob green vegetables, each has their own love, the green eyes of northern Xinjiang, the yellow nourishment of southern Xinjiang, the turbid Tarim River witnessed the dryness of Lop Nur, and the Populus euphratica in the wind and sand witnessed the changes of the Rob people.

Far away, I saw a few large characters on the towering wooden tower, which is the entrance of the Luobu village.
This is a small village called Desert Taoyuan, located 35 kilometers southwest of Yuli County, Xinjiang, 85 kilometers south of Korla City. Although there are only 20 households in the village, it is the largest in Luobu. One of the villages. The
Rob is one of the oldest ethnic groups in Xinjiang and is also known as the "last Rob" in the desert.
Although the village is not large, it covers the Taklimakan Desert, the Wandering Lake, the Tarim River, the original Populus euphratica forest and the grasslands. They hunt and hunt fish in the desert, keeping their original customs and customs, and their lives are full of mystery.
This river is the Tarim River, and the Tarim River and the desert are interdependent, creating a different view here. It has both the roughness of the northwest and the grace of Jiangnan. Desert, lake, Populus euphratica and other elements form a space-time tunnel, which makes people feel that time has passed for a thousand years.
It is said that the autumn here is a mysterious paradise that is more amazing than Ejina, and I look forward to meeting the amazing scenery next time.
