Here is a guide for taking photos at Heidu Mountain. Please save it! "Watch from a distance, don't play with it, let the moon stay on Earth"

|Sisters of Heidushan! This trip to the northwest discovered an unpopular but super shocking treasure trove - Heidu Mountain! Standing among the dark and gray mountains▲it’s like walking into a rice paper scroll sprinkled with ink, and every shot you take is a dark blockbuster! Nanny-level guide is here for you Tickets + travel √ Free tickets! It is a wild scenic spot that has not been developed, but it has been protected by fences and vehicles are prohibited from entering. √ Transportation: Charter a car or join a group After parking, you need to walk 3km (about 1.2 hours round trip), it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes. △Key points: Bring enough water and snacks, there will be no signal throughout the journey! Photography outfit tips Suggestions: Dark long skirt: The skirt flutters in the wind, echoing the black mountain, giving it a high-end feel! Cool windbreaker + Martin boots: paired with the Gobi desert wind and sand, the doomsday wasteland style is instantly captured. Wearing light colors on cloudy days will make the photos stand out better. On sunny days, it is recommended to wear all black or bright contrasting colors (such as an orange scarf)! Photography tips Aerial photography is a must! Overlooking the black mountains from a God’s perspective, it feels like you’re watching a science fiction movie. Choose the morning or evening time, the light from sunrise and sunset will gild the mountains, while on cloudy days the feeling of loneliness will be overwhelming (atmosphere party). Posture reference: √ Walk towards the hill with your back to the camera to create a "Lonely Planet" feel. √Turn sideways and look back to capture the moment when the wind blows your hair (the light in Tyndall is gorgeous!). Low-angle upward shooting: place the phone close to the ground, and the person and the mountain are in the same frame, instantly turning it into a wallpaper! △Notes X Don’t drive over it! The mountain is fragile and the wheel ruts are difficult to repair after a hundred years. The view from a distance is extremely shocking. X Don't wear high heels! The gravel is sharp and the wind is so strong that you doubt your life, so a warm and windproof jacket is a must. Standing at the foot of Heidu Mountain, I really felt like I was traveling through the stars. The black hills looked like they were splashed with ink, and it was so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat. The beauty here is a little fragile, and protecting it is the meaning of our arrival.
