Gansu's "Heidushan" is a hidden internet-famous check-in spot

**🚗 Drive to explore the secrets! The stunning journey from Dunhuang to Aksai Duobagou Populus euphratica Canyon 🍂** 🛣️ Departing from Dunhuang, following the winding road ahead, the scenery on both sides gradually transitions from the desert Gobi to the lush Populus euphratica forest. Duobagou Populus euphratica Canyon, a secret realm unknown to many, has become the new favorite of niche self-driving enthusiasts. 🌄 Aksai Duobagou Populus euphratica Canyon, Gansu Province's hidden treasure! The millennia-old Populus euphratica here has become famous due to several movies and TV dramas, such as 'Goodbye My Princess' and 'Dragon Blade'. 🏞️ This is a completely wild scenic area, combining desert, black stone mountains, Populus euphratica, rivers, canyons, and reeds. The marvelous work of nature is fully displayed here, with different sceneries in each of the four seasons, all stunningly beautiful. 🌳 Walking into the Populus euphratica Canyon is like entering another world. Not far away, the iconic landmark of Duobagou, "Heidushan," stands quietly. This Heidushan is not the same as the one in Qinghai, but it seems to belong to the same mountain range according to the map. The black mountain body forms a stark contrast with the surrounding desert environment, resembling a mysterious Chinese ink painting, guarding the peace of this land. 🚗 Transportation strategy: Drive or charter a car from Dunhuang, and navigate directly to Aksai Duobagou Populus euphratica Canyon. Along the way, you will pass by neighboring areas, deserts, Yardangs, and Heishan, with unique landscapes. 📝 Note tips: 1. Bring enough water and food, as there is basically nowhere to buy things on the road. 2. Carry your ID card to avoid border patrol checks. 3. Be mindful of the environment and do not litter!
