It is famous for its unique desert-oasis landscape, and has the largest area of primitive poplar forests in the world, the Tarim Poplar Forest, which is full of golden leaves in the fall, and is known as the hometown of "Desert Hero Tree". Yuli is also China's "hometown of long-staple cotton", with vast fields of high-quality cotton, giving rise to "gold in cotton".
