Hu Yanglin has two main entrances, one to see the new Populus euphratica, one to see the old Populus euphratica, and to buy tickets from the two gates.
In the desert and sand, Populus euphratica is the only species that can naturally grow into forests. Populus has a history of 3 million to 6 million years. The roots of Populus euphratica can grow up to 15 meters long and spread around. In order to absorb water in an extremely dry environment, it can reach 13 meters underground.
