Heidu Mountain, a real-life version of ink wash painting
If you are tired of the green mountains and waters and the colorful world, then come to Heidu Mountain to experience the visual feast brought by the simple black, white, and gray!
Do you think what you see before your eyes is the moon? That's not right, this place is the most moon-like place on Earth----Heidu Mountain.
Heidu Mountain is located 13 kilometers away from Lenghu Town, Mangya City, Qinghai Province, at an altitude of about 2800 meters. This is not a painting; this is a real-life version of ink wash painting. Black gravel is irregularly scattered on the sand dunes. This is Heidu Mountain in Lenghu, Qinghai. You can depart from Dunhuang, cross the Dangjin Mountain, and navigate to Heidu Mountain via National Highway 215 to get there. But now vehicles are prohibited from entering because the soil in the Heidu Mountain area is loose and fragile. The passage of vehicles would create ruts that are difficult to recover, and the naturally formed appearance is easily damaged, so you can only walk about three kilometers to get in. It is recommended not to stay too long and not to go too deep, as this is a truly uninhabited area, with no people, no signal, no coordinates, and it is best to travel in pairs. There are no residents here, few people stop by, no vegetation, and it has not been developed, existing desolately and quietly on this land.
The surface of the mountain is all black rocks, which change with the heavens and the earth, and the color of the mountain can turn yellow, very cool and magical. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can enjoy the vast ink painting, feel the loneliness of interstellar travel, and quietly wait for the sunset on the moon in the evening, giving you a sense of being on an alien planet. If you plan to take a big loop around Qinghai and Gansu, please don't miss this place, but please do not destroy its natural appearance.
Regarding accommodation, there are hotels and hostels a dozen kilometers away from Lenghu Town near Heidu Mountain, but not many, so it's best to book in advance. As for dining, Lenghu Town can meet everyone's basic dietary needs. This is a natural free attraction, with no admission fee, which also means no assistance, so it is advised not to venture too far because it is easy to lose signal and get trapped. As long as you follow the repaired route, there should be no problem.
The best time to visit Heidu Mountain is from May to September. If you are not a strong-minded person, it is not recommended to come to Heidu Mountain alone. But if you are like me, willing to find peace in solitude and let go of yourself in the wilderness, then I suggest you must come and see, 'It's better to see once than to hear a thousand times'!
Located near Mangya Lenghu Town, Heidu Mountain is the most moon-like place on the planet. It is worth a visit. Most netizens on the Internet say that they are opposite the oil town and have to walk a few kilometers. In fact, the locals take you to the direction of Lenghu Town from G215 Dachaidan. When I arrived at the turntable in Lenghu Town, there was a pressure change station. There was a sandy road next to the pressure change station. I kept driving in the direction of the high-pressure frame for more than ten kilometers. Pay attention to the four-wheel drive and press the car to enter. Turn right and turn for a while to see Rainbow Mountain, and then drive in. Heidu Mountain Landform, Self-driving is not familiar and no-man's area is easy to get lost, or spend money to let locals bring in, their cars are all off-road vehicles, they know which places to take pictures, we don't have drones for a total of two and a half hours to play.
On the way to the oil town, there is a mountain like ink painting, with the blue sky as the bottom, black stone as the ink, the sharp stroke of the pen, proud and mysterious. As long as the partner passing by here is not asleep, he will always attract the eyes of him. This is the black mountain. 🖤 I saw a lot on the strategy. Some people said that it is easy to get stuck in the car. Some people said that the geological special here, as long as the rut is left, it cannot be restored. I don't want to take a chance. I stopped the car on the roadside and used a drone to explore. I took a picture of it from a distance and also took a picture of the rut on the land. Although the geological damage is not expected to continue, this kind of disability is beautiful in itself. 🖤 In front of the Heidi Mountain is a vast lake, blue in the sun, adding a touch of vitality to the vast Gobi beach where the grass does not live. The lake is still a long distance from the road, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. Listening to Han Ge, this lake is called Sugan Lake, it is beautiful, but there are so many mosquitoes by the lake that it is terrible. This really captivated my curiosity, why is there such a lake here? What is the secret in this lake? It is not known.
From the small city of Mangya City surrounded by no man's land in the west of Qinghai, head north to Qinghai Lenghu Town. On the vast unmanned Gobi, a large black area and mountains appear prominently next door and mountains, which are very different from the common landform, like an alien planet. Mysterious, magnificent, shocking, amazed!
