Snowfall transformed the ancient Populus euphratica forest in Wusu City, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, into a winter wonderland. Aerial views reveal vast stretches of these trees, with their sturdy branches interwoven in a natural mosaic, creating a striking contrast between the trees' rugged strength and the snow's gentle embrace. Under the sunlight, snowflakes sparkle like crystals, while neighboring shrubs such as saxaul and red willow trees don white coats, harmonizing with the Populus euphratica to form a unique and breathtaking winter landscape.
