A 10-kilometer poplar green tunnel for windbreak and sand fixation

The 10-kilometer poplar green tunnel for windbreak and sand fixation is located at the entrance of Buzak Township. Stretching approximately 10 kilometers, it starts from Tushala Township in Hotan City to the north, runs through Buzak Township, and extends all the way to Layika Township. It was first built in 1976 and was included in the national "Three-North" Shelterbelt Project in 1983. This is an avenue lined with Xinjiang poplars and silver poplars. The trees are tall and dense, forming a canopy that blocks out the sun, with their treetops leaning against each other in a spectacular display. It has become a beautiful sightseeing belt in Hotan County. In spring and summer, the trees on both sides of the road are lush and leafy, with branches intertwining overhead in arches and triangles. Walking through it offers a refreshing and cool sensation.
