Autumn in Aksai | Huyang Gorge is a hidden gem favored by film and TV productions

If you want to encounter the most splendid golden fairy tale in autumn, promise me! Don’t miss Duobagou Huyang Gorge! Huyang Gorge is an eternal golden exhibition in Duobagou, Aksai. I brought back a body full of wind and sand as a souvenir! "Eastern Palace" and "Dragon Blade" both filmed scenes here… . 🎬 Must-visit spots 🟢 Filming location from "Eastern Palace" The Dan Chi king’s tent and wedding square from the drama are still preserved. Standing under the weathered poplar trees or strolling through the reed marshes, you can easily capture photos full of storytelling vibes. . 🟢 Ink-wash Danxia and Heidu Mountain Around the gorge, there are unique Danxia landforms and the “Heidu Mountain” that resembles an ink-wash painting. The black mountain body contrasts sharply with the golden poplars and the vast desert. 🟢 Thousand-year-old Poplar Forest In golden autumn, the poplar leaves turn golden and shine with a golden glow under the sunlight, making photos full of vitality. . 💡 Practical tips 📍 Location: Aksai County, Jiuquan City, Gansu Province 🚗 Transportation: Drive or charter a car from Dunhuang 👔 Outfit: Wear solid or bright colors for the most beautiful photos against the golden poplars and black mountain background. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so remember to bring a jacket. Sunglasses, sun hats, and high SPF sunscreen are essential.
