Ejina in the golden autumn has become exceptionally beautiful because of the poplar
The Gobi sunset, the desert smoke
For thousands of years
Poplar has become eternal in this land
Prevented the Continued Spread of the Badain Jaran Desert to the north

It shows the world the meaning of survival
Golden poplars shine in the sunlight
It explains what is the most beautiful and pure autumn color
Some people say
Travel to Ejina is only once a year
Because of this most unique and enthusiastic autumn color
Give us only 21 days
The shorter it is, the more precious it is
Although it is far away in the northwest
But for a journey of extreme and freedom
For that short and warm Ejina autumn color
We will eventually go for it
