Trip Moments in Zepu
Autumn in Southern Xinjiang is a golden spectacle that the desert poplars have waited all year for
“If you ask me where the most magnificent autumn in China is, I would say: the Tarim Basin in Southern Xinjiang.”
South Xinjiang poplars in October | only 20 days a year, don't miss it
“As the white birch forests of north Xinjiang slowly fade, the poplar forests of south Xinjiang reach their peak season 🍂 Mid–late October–early November, the poplars along both banks of the Tarim River turn a radiant gold across vast stretches, with desert, turquoise water, and ancient trees sharing the same frame, creating a south Xinjiang autumn epic.”

Unforgettable trip to Xin Jiang!
“The adventure didn’t end at sunset—Xinjiang’s spectacular landscapes promise something unforgettable at every altitude.”
