The place on earth that most resembles the surface of the moon - Heidu Mountain in Qinghai!

If you are like me, willing to find peace in solitude, and empty yourself in the wilderness, then I suggest you must come here! This is not a place where there is no grass, the place that most resembles the surface of the moon "Heidu Mountain in Qinghai" It is the most unique scenery in the vast mountains of the northwest, the pure black and white create its appearance like the surface of the moon. It also gives it a unique feature of alternating black and white mountain colors, full of the charm of Chinese classical ink painting. It's as if, a peak walked out of an ink painting. Until now, I found a place called "Heidu Mountain", it is desolate, lonely, and cold, this desolate and tragic landscape will shock you. This ink-like scenery makes loneliness even more lonely. If your heart is strong enough, you must go once. Recommended itinerary: Explore Qinghai · Chaka Salt Lake · Aiken Spring 8 days and 7 nights (private group) D1. All over the country—Xining D2.
