In recent years, the magical beauty of the motherland's great northwest has haunted many self-driving passengers! Among them, the national highway 315, which runs through the east and west of Qinghai, is the most popular. Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake, Dachaidan Emerald Lake, Net Red U-shaped Highway, East and West Tai Jiner Lake, Water Yadan, South Eight Immortals, OboLiang, Demon Eye Aiken Spring, Mangya Emerald Lake, etc., each place is a frame frame of a large number of Net Red punch points, but there are still many people who ignore a seemingly bland, but in fact, the wonderful landscape is amazing, it is hidden next to these attractions, by many netizens called "blood of the earth" or "blood of the earth" of the Qinghai Red River Valley. The National Day holiday is coming, there are friends who plan to drive the Qinggan Ring Road or go to Xinjiang, if you plan the route to pass through here, remember to stop for a while, do not miss yo!
From Delingha along the National Highway 315 Dexiao Expressway all the way to the west 150 kilometers, after passing the Small ChaiDan Lake, drive into a vast and desolate Danxia and Yadan landform, note: After about 20 kilometers, when the straight road begins to appear like a bowback, the blood of the earth will shine!
With the gentle bend, next to the shallow valley mouth road, a dry riverbed began to appear, which is the legendary blood of the earth? To be sure, you don't feel any visual impact or sensory stimulation at this moment!
Some people say that traveling to the Great Northwest without a drone is equal to coming for nothing! All right! Then find a safe island to park your car and raise the drone!
Remember: this road bridge across the S-shaped riverbed is the most significant geographical coordinate of the blood of the earth, and beautiful women can even choose to go to the riverbed under the bridge to show a variety of styles! Wearing a white, green and blue gauze skirt will be very effective!
The drone gradually lifted up, the magic and shock of the blood of the earth also gradually appeared, the orange-red indigo danxia folds on both sides of the river, although not fully developed, but under the cover of light and shadow, the texture was clear and clear, and the ink-blue highway and the blood-colored riverbed went hand in hand in the valley.
Looking down from above, it is really a veritable red river valley! The traces of water erosion can be seen in the ochre red riverbed, which are obviously dark red and shallow ochre coral fork-like distribution, dense and dense, resembling the blood vessels and capillaries in the anatomical map, no wonder people call it the blood veins of the earth!
Although it is dry now, can you imagine whether you will feel the rush of blood and passion when the red river valley is flowing like an artery with blood-like sediment and water.
It is undeniable that many attractions in the Northwest that were not valued or easily ignored suddenly became popular overnight, and the emergence of drones did provide a new perspective for many photography and travel enthusiasts, and most of the attractions in the Northwest, without the help of aerial photography, could not show their characteristics and magnificence.
Looking at the vast, desolation! Only this red riverbed like the blood of the earth stretches tenaciously in the barren and dead Gobi Desert, like hot blood, like magma - the contest between life and death!
The big turn of the highway is a better aerial take point, the bridge diagonally across the river valley, under the bridge "blood flows into a river", when there are vehicles driving on it, it will make the picture produce a strong contrast and dynamics.
It is said that the red river valley has such a scarlet color, due to the fact that the riverbed contains iron trioxide, and under the alternating erosion of salinity, rain and snow, wind and frost, and the partial sulfur effect brought by the river water from the rock formation, the river valley has a faint rust red color.
There is also a place where two rivers and ditches meet, which is also a good spot, and it is so majestic that it is named "Crocodile Bay" - resembling a furious, ugly prehistoric crocodile with angry armor, greedily and brutally creeping in a pool of blood, ready to hunt the next target!
However, it should be reminded that although the pictures circulating on the Internet are colorful and wonderful, when you take aerial photographs in the field, what you see is not the spectacular scene of blood flowing in the wild land that you imagine!
First: first of all, there must be a drone, flying to at least more than 300 meters above the aerial photography, the super effect of the blood vein meandering can be revealed;
Second: to encounter good weather, cloudy days, even if it is a sunny day, the light is good, and the magician of the sun will perform a unique skill to let you see a satisfactory color contrast;
Third: the choice of location and shooting angle, the blood of the earth this section is basically northeast - southwest direction, please avoid backlight according to the time period of arrival;
Fourth: In addition to meeting the above points, you also have to master certain PS skills to modify the picture, use da Vinci or PR and other software to adjust the video, and it is difficult to achieve the expected shocking effect without using post-processing!
Blood of the Earth is located at the 757-758 milestone of National Highway 315, and more than 20 kilometers further ahead is the Net Red U-shaped Highway. Remember: when traveling, safety comes first! Do not impromptu brakes, stop, be sure to comply with traffic rules, follow traffic signs in a safe area to park.
