Plan your Inner Mongolia tour<\/a>? Inner Mongolia is huge in size. Basically it is impossible to travel the major sites on a single trip. If you are interested in history and unique landscape, a trip to Western Inner Mongolia<\/a> is highly recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location of Guai Shu Lin <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Guaishulin” or Guai Shu Lin, literally “weird forest, strange forest”. Guai Shu Lin Forest here refers to the Dead Euphrates Poplar Forests in Ejina Qi ( Ejin Banner ), in the west of Inner Mongolia, China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guaishulin and Heicheng Historic City<\/a> ( Khara-Khoto) are a combined tourist destination, a big draw in Ejina Qi ( Ejin Banner), Alxa League in the western Inner Mongolia. It is located 28km southwest of Dalaihubu, the seat of Ejina Qi government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guai Shu Lin and Heicheng Historic Site Destination <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The entrance to the Guaishulin and Heicheng Ruins (Khara-Khoto)<\/strong> Tourist Destination<\/strong> is close to Guaishulin<\/a>. For Heicheng Historic Site<\/a> (Khara-Khoto)<\/strong>, you have to take the shuttle bus service by the entrance to the old fortress 15km away in the northeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the autumn yellow and golden leaves of Euphrates Poplar Forests in Ejina Qi<\/a>, here in Guai shu Lin, you will see a land of typical of  “a dead scene of a battlefield” \u2013 dead and fallen Euphrates Poplar Trees. The death of the poplar trees in the area is the result of the decrease of ground water on the arid desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After death, the dead poplar trees show great desire for life, some standing upright, some refusing to fall down, others lying on the ground without being rotten. The Euphrates Polar trees narrate a story of \u201cgreatness\u201d in the face of the arid and hard land for centuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Euphrates Poplar trees are said to \u201cexist for three thousand years \u2013 live for one thousand years, dead for one thousand years and rotten for one thousand years\u201d. Here you are able to feel the \u201cHeroism\u201d of the dead poplar trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Visit Guai Shu Lin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You are required to pay a combined an entrance ticket for Guaishulin and Heicheng Historic City<\/a> ( Khara-Khoto) . Basically you should take the shuttle bus from the entrance to Khara-Khoto<\/a> (Heicheng Ruins)15km away in the northeast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After visiting Khara-Khoto<\/a> (Heicheng Ruins), you again take the shuttle bus back and get off at the station of Guaishulin. You are supposed to walk through the east gate and end at the west gate which is linked to the main entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019d better off visiting Guai Shu Lin Forest in the later afternoon, so you are able to catch the magnificent view of the dark and dead scene under sunset. The sunset glow enlivens the dead scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
