## About Tarim Populus Euphratica Forest Park

The world's largest natural primeval populus euphratica forest. Some trees stand lush, some wither, some stand upright and some lie fallen, displaying an ancient mystery. They play an important role in windbreak, sand fixation, and improving the ecological environment, and are praised as: “Alive, they last a thousand years; dead, they stand for a thousand years; fallen, they do not rot for another thousand years.”
