When she was in college, Atiguli studied tourism management in Urumqi, and after graduation, she returned to Jiashi because she couldn't worry about her mother in her hometown. She said that she only came to work in the ecological park this year, "The development of Jiashi is getting better and better, and the landing of this park has greatly developed the local tourism environment."
Guo Kai said that in order to enrich the poplar forest in the ecological garden, it is the most suitable time to replant poplar seedlings every year at the turn of spring and summer and autumn and winter, and a large number of poplar seedlings will be replanted in the park. In addition, during the observation of the natural reproduction of poplars, the staff will lead poplar seeds to open areas in time so that poplars can reproduce and grow better. "At present, the growth rate of poplars in the ecological park is 100-200 trees per year."
The landing of the ecological park has attracted a large number of local and foreign tourists. "Every year, holidays such as winter and summer holidays and National Day are the peak season for tourists in the park." Atiguli said with a smile that June 28 this year is the Eid al-Adha Festival in Xinjiang, and the ecological park has received nearly 20,000 visitors in a single day.
