In the recent news of rushing to the hot list, there is no doubt that "Ejina Banner" has become a place name that is mentioned more frequently, entirely because the new round of epidemic infection in mid-October is more directed to tourists who have visited Ejina Banner. But many friends who have not been to Ejinaqi or even know where Ejinnaqi is located will be surprised by why it has such a great attraction for tourists. There will also be strange phenomena such as getting together and going in groups. So let's sort out the characteristics of the Ejin Banner today, hoping that more people will understand the mood of tourists and hope to have an objective understanding of this round of epidemic.
What do you go to Ejin Naqi to experience?
Why is it that when the weather in the north turns cold and has entered the late autumn, the tourism market in this small city on the northern edge of Inner Mongolia is hot?
Why are so many elderly tourist groups flocking to Ejin Naqi in mid-October?
What exactly is the Ejin Banner?
When they see the first question, many people will answer without hesitation, "I went to Ejin Naqi mainly to admire the golden poplar forest", but in fact, this is only one-third of the right thing.
Indeed, the Ejin Banner has become a popular location for photographers and tourists because of the poplar forest. But netizens will wonder, poplar is not a scarce species, there are many poplar forests in the country, why is Ejin Naqi flocking to many tourists every year because of the viewing of poplar? So let's take a look at the following figure:
Although the six major poplar forest scenic spots in China can now be almost directly accessed by highways, from the perspective of distance, the poplar forest of Ejin Naqi is relatively close to the eastern city with a large population. But relying solely on the advantage of location can not convince the majority of tourists - natural landscapes are natural, can not be artificial in a short period of time, only the scale, facilities, services and other acquired can make up. But people will always judge whether it is worth a trip through thousands of kilometers of trekking.
Regarding the question of whether it is worth going to a place, it may be necessary to understand what else can Ejin Naqi do besides admiring poplars? From the letter I saw a few days ago (below), it can be understood that Ejin Naqi tourism mainly promotes the three core scenic spots of poplar forest, black city and Juyanhai, that is to say, in addition to the ecological landscape poplar forest, Ejin Naqi also has cultural relics of black city and natural desert lakes.
In this way, it unlocks everyone's curiosity about Ejin Banner, such a remote small city, in fact, is a tourist destination integrating nature and humanities, and in addition to the above 3 core scenic spots, in the surrounding areas can also go to ceke port (border tourism), sacred tree (folk tourism), Swan Lake (parent-child tourism), space city (science and technology tourism), etc., plus food, specialties, pastoral music, etc., can be described as tourism elements include several major types we can think of, such advantages are almost beyond the reach of other poplar tourism areas.

While tours of other programs are hardly affected by the seasons, it's no wonder why people flock to poplar forests during this time, as the most beautiful periods of time are concentrated in September and October. The most beautiful period of scenery overlaps with the longest holiday of the year (National Day Golden Week) for the vast majority of people, which will arouse the interest of many office workers; and tourists and elderly groups that are not limited by time will basically go 10 days before and after the National Day, even if they implement staggered peak travel.
According to the schedule of regular tour groups, it is necessary to stay at at least 3 days in Ejin Naqi to fully experience the diverse cultural tourism projects of this place. In other words, this is a place where there may be enough reasons to retain tourists, and Ejin Naqi needs to provide more services for tourists. So can the Ejin Banner afford it?
The picture above is part of the "2019 Ejina Banner Statistical Communiqué"
According to the 2019 Ejina Banner Statistical Communiqué, "In 2019, Ejina Banner received a total of 8.0984 million domestic and foreign tourists, achieving a comprehensive tourism income of 7.775 billion yuan". However, from the "Letter to the Vast Number of Tourists and Friends Stranded in Ejin", it can be understood that the people of all ethnic groups in Ejina are only 33,000 people - equivalent to the average local "all year" (mainly concentrated in the golden autumn for more than 1 month) to receive an average of 245 tourists, which is really a "busy"! Therefore, we need to understand some of the "inconveniences" in terms of local material supply, tourism facilities, service conditions, etc.
Although the main focus of these days is on the issue of hundreds of people stranded in Ejina Banner group travel special train, although our "Car Self-driving Tour" magazine advocates the way of travel by car, I personally still want to recommend the "Tourist Train" project to Ejina Banner, because it has several obvious advantages:
Solve the transportation needs of many friends who cannot implement long-distance self-driving trips
Alleviated accommodation problems along the way and at destinations (can live on train sleepers)
Avoid the need to carry and store luggage at each stop during the tour (fixed bunks throughout the tour)
Improve the efficiency of night driving and daytime excursions along the way
Relatively can ensure the safety of traffic during large traffic
……
Therefore, the travel train products developed by many travel agencies for long-distance destinations are very marketable and will become one of the indispensable ways of leisure tourism.
Finally, with concern, let us wish all the tourists who have been disrupted by this round of epidemic a safe return, and I would like to thank the staff on the front line of epidemic prevention with a poplar-like spirit of self-improvement and perseverance. Poplar is born without dying for a thousand years, dying without falling for a thousand years, and not decaying for a thousand years, so we firmly believe that the Ejin Banner will still bloom in the autumn of next year.
