As autumn begins, a flock of black swans glides peacefully across a serene lake on the fringes of the Taklamakan Desert in Yuli County, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. This tranquil spot is part of the Lop Nur People Village, a unique tourist destination where the world's largest primitive Populus euphratica, or Euphrates poplar–forest reserve, China's vast Taklamakan Desert, and the longest inland river, the Tarim River, converge. The area boasts diverse natural landscapes and an exceptional ecological environment.

With thousands of years of history, the Lop Nur people continue their ancient tradition of living in harmony with nature, relying on fishing and hunting along the waterways. Their way of life, centered on the principle of coexistence with the environment, is a living testament to the deep connection between humans and the natural world.
