As a plant phenomenon, the Strange Willow has various causes, such as the characteristics of the tree species itself, the impact of arid climate, the erosion of wind and sand, and human plundering, etc. Because of its bizarre shape, it is called the 'Desert Strange Willow', a unique landscape of the Horqin Sandy Land. The green of the Strange Willow symbolizes life and prosperity.
