Inner Mongolia's Windmill Highway is absolutely stunning! The giant white storm on National Scenic Route No. 1

📸 When emerald grasslands cradle giant white windmills, and blades slice through drifting clouds to compose a summer waltz, Chifeng's "National Scenic Route No. 1" literally plucks scenes straight from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind! Just captured the ultimate trifecta with my camera: "Windmill Highway + Grassland Sky Road + Stargazing Camp". Here's your quick guide👇 🌬【3 Must-Visit Divine Spots】 1. Windmill Highway · Giant White Storm ▪️ Drone shots: Frame "Route 66 + Windmill Matrix" in one shot. Use slow shutter (1/4s exposure) for "blade streaks" ▪️ Hidden trick: Spin in a red dress under the "center-stage windmill" for a "blood-red vortex" shot ▪️ Best angle: Low-angle shot at curved hills to make windmills "lift" the sky 2. Grassland Sky Road · Hayao Miyazaki's Oil Painting ▪️ 720° glass viewing platform for "windmills + yurts" shots (Settings: F11 1/250s ISO100) ▪️ Fun fact: Clouds here "morph" - "whale clouds" often appear at 3pm 3. Stargazing Camp · Milky Way at Your Fingertips ▪️ After 10pm: Tripod shots of "star trails over windmills" (ISO1600 F2.8 30s) ▪️ Hidden trick: Light-paint the character "wind" under the galaxy with a flashlight 📸【God-tier Photography Tips】 ✔️ Highway glamour|Low-angle shots with windmills "looming" overhead ✔️ Light magic|6am for "god rays", sunset for "golden windmills" ✔️ Forced perspective|Make your drone "fly through" windmill blades
