🚗Transportation
1️⃣Suitable for chartered or self-driving.
2️⃣Take the bus to Luntai County at the Bazhou Bus Terminal (10:00-21:00, about one every 30 minutes, ticket price is 38 yuan, the journey takes about 2.5 hours).
3️⃣Then transfer to the bus to Tahe Bridge Town at the Luntai Bus Station (10:00-18:00, one every 2 hours, ticket price is 18 yuan).
4️⃣Get off at the park entrance. When returning, you can take the bus from Tahe Bridge Town to Luntai County on the side of the road. The last bus to Korla from Luntai County is at 20:00.
Don't go in the season without catching up with the yellow leaves. There is no difference between the inside and the outside roadside. The key tickets have to increase the bus ticket. It is not recommended to walk in by yourself, because it is really not very friendly.
Poplar forest season is really worthwhile, but the net red train is too long, and people must stand in front of the counter before the ticket is issued. You can take a ride on the outbound journey. It is recommended to walk back to the starting point for the return journey, otherwise waiting for the train for 40 minutes like me and then returning slowly on the original road will delay going to other observation decks. And the small train is not like the past is circular, so it is really the scenery inside, unless you walk along the tracks, about ten kilometers, there is no signal in the middle of the no-man's area, I did not dare to try. In fact, other observation decks can see the scenery of Populus euphratica forest everywhere, as long as you go to the time is beautiful everywhere.
The service is average, the scenery is very good, that is, I feel that the door management is very bad, and it is very messy at the peak, but the driver of the Jingjiao car has a very good attitude, stop at any time, let us see the beautiful Populus euphratica forest
Very satisfied, worth a visit
