Aerial Shots of the Tarim River in Spring, Xinjiang




The Tarim River in the spring of Xinjiang's Tarim Basin is like a silver dragon, either coiled in the quiet Hu, or exposed the dry riverbed, with varying and changeable expressions. Occasionally, wild animals such as yellow sheep, wild rabbits, foxes, and markhor appear near the riverbank, adding a touch of mystery to this place. The Tarim River is China's largest inland river, located at the northern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, and the Hu in the Tarim River Basin is a concentrated distribution area of the world's original Hu, which is a green oasis for maintaining the desert ecosystem.
