Halajun Bagusugaiti Ancient Willow Forest

　　The Bagusugaiti Ancient Willow Forest is situated to the northwest of Halajun Township in Artux City, approximately 130 kilometers from Artux. It is a nearly thousand-year-old ancient willow forest that has become a widely renowned tourist destination.

　　Covering an area of 120 acres, the willows in the Bagusugaiti Ancient Willow Forest come in a dazzling array of shapes—some stand proudly like valiant warriors; some sway gracefully like dancing fairies; some lie prostrate on the ground like lions poised to spring; some resemble dragons plunging into the sea, churning waves; some look like crocodiles guarding the woods; and others appear as armored warriors ready for battle. The oldest tree is a giant willow that requires four people to encircle, with an age of nearly a thousand years. Though its trunk is dry, its canopy remains lush and green. Scientific assessments indicate that this willow forest is at least 800 years old. Clear springs seep from the roots of the willows, flowing gently into the distance. The water is sweet and refreshing, leaving a lingering aftertaste. In the hot summer months, the area offers a cool and pleasant retreat, making it an ideal destination for escaping the heat.
