I found it! Rouge Mountain, nature's secret collection of beautiful eyeshadow palettes

👍🏻Reason for recommendation: My dears, I found the legendary "Rouge Mountain" in the northwest, it is so beautiful that it takes your breath away! Here you can find the unique Yadan landform and mountains with colorful colors, especially the dreamy pink color, which seems like nature has overturned its color palette. Any shot can turn out to be a blockbuster. Moreover, this is one of the places on Earth that most resembles the moon, and can bring you an unprecedented wonderful experience. 🗺Introduction to scenic spots: Yanzhi Mountain is located in the Qaidam Basin, Lenghu Town, Mangya City, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It is part of the Saishiteng Mountain, a branch of the western section of the Qilian Mountains. Heidu Mountain where it is located is not a scenic spot, but a special geological landform next to National Highway 215. The Yanzhi Mountain contains a variety of minerals. After a long period of wind and rain erosion and sunlight exposure, it has formed its current colorful appearance. From a distance, the whole mountain is a charming pink color, which is simply stunning. 🚗 Transportation to the attraction: It is best to drive a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle to enter. Because the road conditions here are not very good, cars and two-wheel drive vehicles are not recommended to go there. The road you enter is uneven and has many potholes. The road conditions become looser as you go further, so you must drive carefully and always pay attention to the road conditions and the condition of the car. If you are riding a bicycle, it is not recommended to enter alone. It is best to have a companion or find an experienced travel agency to take you in. 🗺Travel route: There is no particular fixed travel route at present. After arriving near Heidu Mountain, you can first find the best shooting position in the distance and use your camera to record the entire picture of Yanzhi Mountain. Afterwards, you can slowly approach the mountain and experience its unique charm up close. It would be even better if we had a drone. We could use it to take aerial photos and capture the unique beauty of Yanzhi Mountain from an aerial perspective. 🍱Food recommendation: There are many delicious foods to try in Lenghu Town. The local mutton is so tender. The grilled mutton skewers and hand-pulled mutton are both amazing. The meat is firm and has no smell at all. There is also Qinghai's specialty yak yogurt, which has a thick texture and is paired with white sugar. It is sour and sweet and especially refreshing. 💰Cost related: There is no entrance fee to Yanzhi Mountain itself, but if you drive there by yourself, you need to consider the fuel cost and other expenses of the vehicle. If you find a travel agency, the cost will vary depending on the agency and the services provided, ranging from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan. 📌Other tips: Kids, be sure to pay attention. The climate here is changeable, with a big temperature difference between morning and evening. Remember to bring warm clothes. When taking photos, wearing bright-colored clothes will make them look better. In addition, drone aerial photography can really show its different beauty, and it is highly recommended to bring a drone.
