## About Divine Tree of the Populus Euphratica Forest

This populus euphratica tree is 880 years old, stands 23 metres tall, and has a main trunk 2.07 metres in diameter, so it takes six people holding hands to encircle it. It is the 'King of the Ejina poplars'. At the end of winter and the start of spring, herders come to pay their respects before this tree, and visitors touring the poplar forest make a point of coming to see its grandeur.
