Xinjiang Luntai Family Secret Realm | Tarim Poplar Forest Autumn Fairy Tale Journey

Take the kids to see the splendid autumn scenery! Tarim Poplar Forest, a golden sea of trees + thousand-year-old wonder trees, an unforgettable family trip~ For poplars in China, see Xinjiang; for Xinjiang poplars, see Luntai! The Tarim Poplar Forest, as a world-class poplar secret realm, transforms into a golden ocean in autumn. With a 3,000-year life legend, it is an excellent natural education classroom for kids. The poplars here are sturdy and upright, ancient and vigorous. In autumn, the leaves turn golden, and when the breeze blows, the falling leaves flutter like a fairy tale world. 🍂 Family Fun Activities: 1. Take the kids to find the "most unique poplar," observe different shapes of tree trunks, take photos to record, and do crafts together at home; 2. Set up a picnic mat in a clearing in the forest, take a simple break, and let the kids run and play among the golden fallen leaves; 3. Explain to the kids how poplars adapt to the desert environment, feel the toughness of life, and cultivate environmental awareness; 4. At sunset, take the kids to watch the sun shining on the poplars, sparkling golden light, and casually take beautiful family silhouette photos. 🚗 Transportation: 1 hour drive from Luntai County, with gas stations and rest areas along the way, convenient for family travel 💰 Cost: Entrance ticket 45 RMB/person (free for children under 1.3 meters), shuttle bus 30 RMB/person 🫧 Family Travel Tips: 1. The scenic area is large; it is recommended to take the shuttle bus to save the kids' energy. Stops allow getting on and off anytime; 2. Autumn is dry; give kids plenty of water, and prepare lip balm and moisturizer; 3. Bring sunglasses for the kids to avoid strong light in the forest; 4. There are few dining options in the scenic area; bring portable meals and fruits, and carry out your trash; 5. The hiking paths are relatively flat, but some areas have sandy ground; have kids wear non-slip shoes; 6. Signal is weak in the scenic area; agree on a meeting point with the kids in advance to avoid getting separated. 🏨 Accommodation Guide: Luntai Yinlun Hotel, Luntai Western Region Hotel
