Heidu Mountain|Parent-Child Edition Moonwalk! Every Frame Is a Sci-Fi Educational Film!

The newly opened Heidu Mountain looks like an ink painting, letting kids experience the shock of the wilderness— Although enhanced by filters to look like a blockbuster (see the first picture for reference), the kids’ exclamations as they step on the black soil are even more precious! The moment the off-road vehicle stopped, the ink-colored mountain range loomed like a giant screen, The kids shouted, “We’ve arrived on Mars!” This geography lesson was worth the ticket price! 📍 Parent-Child Navigation Guide 🚗 Location: 30 kilometers outside Lenghu Town, Qinghai 🗺 Route Mnemonic: ▪ Navigate to “Lenghu Oilfield Base Ruins” ▪ After passing the prohibition sign, slow down and continue 5 kilometers until you see a fence ⚠ Special Parent-Child Tips: ▪ Strictly limited to four-wheel-drive vehicles!
