Qinghai Heidushan|Infiltrate the Surface of an Alien Planet, the Most Hardcore Photography Guide is Here!

Heidushan|Forbidden Land on the Moon's Surface✨ A newly opened secret spot in April-May 2025, facilities are still being improved~ A paradise for photography enthusiasts📸 But honestly: all thanks to post-processing filters (Warning: P1 is the original unedited photo!) The long images below are all works by filter masters🤫 Although there are thousands of beautiful landscapes in Northwest China, the moment you see this pure black mountain range—it’s worth it!💥 📍 Hardcore Check-in Guide 🚗 Location: 30 km southeast of Lenghu Town, Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province 🗺 Precise positioning: ▪ Gaode Map leads to "Lenghu Oilfield Base Ruins" ▪ Don’t panic when you see the "No Entry" sign! Just continue 5 km east and you’re there ▪ Fencing has been set up since 2023 (last 3 km must be walked) ⚠ Life-saving Warnings (Super Important‼️) ▪ No entry without a 4WD vehicle!🚫 ▪ Must travel in pairs of vehicles (bring rescue ropes) ▪ Surface temperature can reach up to 70℃ in summer🌡 ▪ Each bottle of water = 1 km lifeline💧 📸 Doomsday Blockbuster Photography Guide 👗 Outfit Highlights: ▪ Silver spacesuit (rentable on Taobao for 80 RMB/day)👩🚀 ▪ All-black techwear + smoke sticks = cyberpunk perfection ▪ Barefoot with a gauze skirt = wasteland goddess vibe✨ 🔥 Three Divine Photo Spots: 1️⃣ Despair Slope (panoramic king spot) ▪ Use telephoto to capture a lonely silhouette, instantly feels like "Interstellar" 2️⃣ Ink Mountain Hollow (pure black background is amazing) ▪ Throw white sand for dynamic effect 3️⃣ Oil Derrick (perfect at dusk blue hour) 🌌 Magical Experience Easter Eggs ▪ Collect obsidian (remember to put it back after photos!) ▪ Death wind sound = natural ASMR ▪ Starry sky photography haven (no light pollution✨) 💬 Soul Q&A Q: Can girls go?⚠ A: Recommended to go with a professional convoy! Too dangerous alone Q: Best shooting time?⏰ A: 1 hour after sunrise / 2 hours before sunset (weak contrast at noon) Q: Is it really unmonitored?🚧 A: You can enter on foot! But must follow the tire tracks 📌 Life-saving Checklist ✓ Satellite phone (no signal!) ✓ Off-road tire pressure lowered to 1.5! ✓ High-top shoes (lots of gravel) ✓ Sunscreen + face mask (UV rays are very strong!!)
