Heidu Mountain
黑独山
A cluster of black gravel hills north of Lenghu town, where gray, white, and jet-black layers create a moonscape look. It has become a popular photography spot in recent years.
Heidu Mountain lies about 20 kilometers north of Lenghu town. Its wind-eroded hills are covered in black gravel, and the mountains show only black, gray, and white, layered like an ink wash painting. It is also called 'the surface of the Moon' and has gone viral on social media in recent years. The scenic area has an entrance and a parking lot. Ticket prices vary, so check on site. You can follow the trail up a small hilltop for panoramic views, and the light and shadow are best at sunrise and sunset. The wind is strong, so wear a hat and keep an eye on your drone. Do not leave the trail or trample the ground surface.
