CNC Machine: Hami, Xinjiang: The Most Stunning Populus euphratica

Populus euphratica is a kind of tree that grows in dry desert areas. Populus euphratica is very drought-tolerant and alkali-resistant, and it can grow tenaciously under very harsh living conditions. It is said that the Populus euphratica tree has been immortal for three thousand years, and has not died down after 3,000 years of decay. It has fallen for three thousand years of perseverance and stubborn vitality. There is a relatively large Gobi Huyang scenic spot in Nang Maohu Town, Yiwu County, Hami Prefecture, Xinjiang, which is very suitable for the creation of the Millennium Populus. The most beautiful time of Populus euphratica was autumn. When the leaves of Populus euphratica became golden, the walk into Populus euphratica was like walking into the world of gold foil weaving.

The Populus euphratica in Huyang Lin, Yiwu County, Hami Prefecture, Xinjiang, is a golden piece. Even the withered Populus euphratica differs in its appearance, and it seems to enter a dreamy fairytale world. Populus euphratica is mainly distributed in arid and semi-arid regions in more than 20 countries such as China and Mongolia. In China, it is mainly distributed in Xinjiang, Gansu, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia.

Maomao Lake is not a lake. It is a place name. It is located in the north corner of Yiwu County in the Hami region of Xinjiang. It is deep in the vast Gobi and borders the Mongolian country on the north and east. From Hami City to Nangmaohu Town, you should cross the East Tianshan Mountains, wear the Naiguerge Grassland eastwards, cross the salt pond (lake), and then arrive at Yiwu County. Yiwu County is a small county unimaginable to the mainland people from the perspective of the population and the size of the county. The county only 20,000 people. In the past, the county seat had only one street and more than 3,000 inhabitants. Bicycles were placed on the streets and they were known to know who they were. However, the entire county has an area of more than 20,000 square kilometers, enough to make any county chief in the coastal area to be staggering.

The town of Maomaohu is far from Hami City (a distance of 240 kilometers). It used to be the place where Hami King exiled prisoners. Due to the low topography here, the surrounding groundwater is gathered here, making this place an unusually unique oasis in the Gobi Sea. One of the characteristics here is that the wind is big and windy wind blows more than five or six grades all year round. Ever since, the poplars in the village, the willows, and even the grandfather's beard are all jealous.

The tribute to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the best Hami melon, was produced here. It is said that after Emperor Kangxi had eaten, he was shocked to ask where this good fruit came from? The answer was given by the king of Hami, so this kind of melon was called Hami melon and he became famous throughout the world. Here in the field, you can eat Hami melons and even watermelons and grapes... that kind of sweetness will make you remember all your life. This honey-like sweetness is facilitated by the unique geographical and climatic conditions here. It can be said that Hami melon is the most authentic in the world. The local people are mainly engaged in seed melons, and per capita income ranks in the forefront of the Hami region.

The 400,000-acre Populus euphratica forest is breathtaking; in addition to the famous Hami melon, the nearby Gobi Desert has many miracles.

About 10 kilometers east of the town, there is a forest of Populus euphratica with an area of more than 400,000 mu. It is truly amazing how surprisingly there is such a vast and dense Populus euphratica forest on the extremely dry, alkaline waters of the Gobi Desert. What is even more impressive is that the old poplar tree in the depths of the jungle has been tempered by wind, rain, dust, and burning sun for thousands of years. The thick body has been twisted into various poses, as if it were erected among the forests.
