Best Viewing Time for Ejina Populus Euphratica Forest – When Is the Poplar Forest at Its Most Stunning?
When people talk about Northwest China, the first images that come to mind are vast deserts, gobi wastelands and populus euphratica forests. If you wish to admire the most breathtaking poplar trees, head straight to Ejina Banner. If you long for a perfect blend of desert, gobi and golden poplars, Ejina Banner is an absolute must-visit destination.
When is the prime viewing season for Ejina’s populus euphratica forest?
The yellowing of poplar leaves is affected by temperature, humidity and tree age. Generally speaking, leaves start turning golden once the minimum temperature drops to around 5°C. Trees growing in drier areas and younger poplars turn yellow earlier.
Based on long-term observations, scattered golden leaves begin to appear around September 10 each year. Roughly one-third of the forest turns yellow by September 20. The optimal viewing window falls between September 25 and October 15, when most poplars are fully golden.
If the weather remains mild and stable, the golden foliage can last until about October 20. In years with frequent cold snaps, most leaves will have fallen off after October 15.
