Populus euphratica ah P. euphratica
Climbed over the Tianshan Mountains, is a southern Xinjiang.
To the southern border of the main purpose, besides trying to understand what the Taklimakan Desert, there are also just wanted to take a look at living a thousand years die, die a thousand years does not fall, down a thousand years of human immortal odd tree ----- - euphratica has.
South Xinjiang and North Xinjiang interval of less than 100 kilometers, but is simply two of the world. In Urumqi is also feeling the late autumn chill, had jumped over the Tianshan Mountains, they seem to have returned the summer. With the clothes off the more the thinner the vegetation has less and less out the window, as if water gradually became a luxury.
The air was filled with dust and dry taste. But the trees that are green, and that I can not see signs of autumn in the northern common eye-catching yellow poplar has gone on the road only in the trees at the trees and India was only under the desert and a few Dwarf dwarf corn.
In the large roadside sign, the words "October 1 -10 31, international Populus euphratica Day" slogan, but a closer look at the contents of last year, indeed.
Laomashitu head, saying: "It appears that we have come back, can not see the yellow Populus euphratica the" Everyone looked at the green roadside occasional Hu poplar, indifference nodding.
Less than a round of Taiwan, left turn, which is to Ruoqiang desert highway. Initial segment of the highway in the desert of Tarim Basin, with a maximum of China, Hu is the most ancient poplar.
Walked along a desert highway, Hu Yang increasing in number, a long gap in the two desert oasis-like Populus euphratica imaging.
Hu in the two encircle the ancient poplars before the car stopped. The driver said that this is an old Populus euphratica, and tree encircle the trees over 1,000 years, and in previous years, General Secretary Jiang Zemin has also taken a picture of it under the tree.
We looked up at Populus euphratica. Yes, here a man to encircle the trees are numerous, however, died down a tree trunk is not found everywhere, but already the scene did not make us echocardiography.
In China's longest desert highway; China's longest inland river; China's largest desert; and live a thousand years die, die a thousand years does not fall, down a thousand years of human immortal odd tree ------ Populus euphratica in front, why not let us jump for joy it? Only because fewer northern share of brilliant yellow.
Like on a moon-like Yin Qing, leaving regret even more we can only aspire to.
