Located in the western part of the region, Ejine Banner has a population of 35,000 that extends to more than 110,000 square kilometers. It also has one of China's largest natural forestry reserves of Odos Alamos (Populus Euphratica): members of the Sauce family. The other concentration of the species is in the autonomous region Xinjiang Uygur.
