Desert Rose Manor

　　The Yutian Desert Rose Manor is situated in Qixian’nv Village, A’erle Township, at the southern end of the county town on the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, 4.5 kilometers from the county center. The Kriya River, originating from the gorges of the Kunlun ice peaks, runs northward through the manor. The area benefits from abundant light and heat resources as well as a warm temperate inland arid desert climate, providing ideal natural conditions for the rose plantation. Covering an area of 22,000 mu, the manor is home to generations of simple local farmers. Roses, belonging to the Rosaceae family, are deciduous shrubs with stems densely covered in sharp thorns. They bloom in summer, displaying colors such as red, purple, and white. The flowers can be used to extract aromatic oils and high-end fragrances. In recent years, Yutian has developed this into an ecological ornamental industry, inviting experts and scholars for in-depth research. Currently, the rose manor has taken initial shape, and locally produced rose tea has been developed, which offers health benefits such as regulating qi and activating blood circulation. Further research on other topics is ongoing. In the future, the refinement, packaging, and branding of rose-related products will elevate the cultural significance of the rose manor to new heights.

　　Early summer is the perfect time to admire the flowers. The rose manor bursts into a riot of blossoms, vying in beauty and brilliance, presenting a stunning and picturesque scene that is both graceful and intoxicating. Villagers gather in small groups, carefully picking the flowers, while children play amid the blossoms, creating a delightful sight. Being there allows you to unwind, let go of tension, immerse yourself in the wonders of nature, experience local customs, and feast your eyes on the breathtaking beauty of this ocean of flowers.
