Autumn Gobi Family Secret Spot! Dunhuang Heidushan Parent-Child Check-in Guide

Take the kids to traverse an exotic planet! Complete autumn viewing guide for Dunhuang Heidushan, effortless and photogenic Who says you can't explore the Gobi with kids? This family-exclusive guide lets you easily unlock the autumn grandeur of Heidushan. – Autumn at Heidushan is like God's spilled palette! Black rocks, yellow Gobi, and a clear blue sky form a stunning autumnal picture. There’s no city noise here, only vast Gobi and fresh air. Bringing kids here lets them escape electronic devices and experience the wonder and majesty of nature. – Family-exclusive route recommendations: ▫ Effort-saving stroller-friendly route (recommended!): 1. Take the shuttle bus from the scenic area entrance directly to the attraction, a 25-30 minute ride. Kids can enjoy the autumn Gobi scenery along the way, easing travel fatigue. 2. After getting off, head straight to the right side of the Y-shaped boardwalk, the prime viewing area of Heidushan! The boardwalk is flat and easy for kids to walk, with the most stunning views at the end. Black rocks shine under the autumn sun, paired with distant mountains—perfect for family photos. 3. Be sure to visit the viewing platform on the right high slope. The altitude is not high, the steps are gentle, and from the top you can overlook the entire Heidushan, letting kids feel the grandeur of "standing on the peak." 4. The left boardwalk can be optionally skipped; the stairs are long and the scenery is average, saving energy so kids can enjoy more playtime. 5. Note the last bus is at 7:30 PM; arrive at the boarding point half an hour early to avoid missing the return trip. ▫ Energetic route: If the kids have plenty of energy, after visiting the prime right-side spots, head to Yanzhishan (Rouge Mountain). Cross the sandy area; the pink mountain stands out vividly in autumn. Viewing from afar is enough, no need to get close. Climb the small hill with the kids, fly a drone, and capture moments of running on the Gobi. When exploring deeper, keep close to the kids to avoid getting separated and allow enough time for the return trip. – 📍Address: Dunhuang Heidushan ⏰Transport: 1.5 hours by car from Dunhuang city center, with good road conditions; family car rental services are also available for flexible round-trip arrangements. 🏨Accommodation guide: Recommended Dunhuang [Desert Star Hotel], a wild luxury style hotel located in the desert.
