Crescent spring in beautiful desert

Mingsha mountain is literally translated to the “Singing sand mountain) which is about 5km from Dunhuang city center. The natural phenomenon of singing sand from wind makes the name. Beautiful sand dunes not far from city and the crescent spring in the middle attract visitors from all over the country. It is particularly pretty during sunset. You can rent shoe covers if you don’t want sand goes in your shoes. #urbanexplorer #nationalpark #dunhuang

An oasis in the middle of the dessert 🏝. Like a mirage seen on a hot summer’s day, the dunes peek out from behind the high rise buildings, tempting you towards them. We spent the majority of the day exploring the stunning dessert landscape, where you can do anything from riding a camel or helicopter to paragliding and sand surfing. Or you know, just sit peacefully to enjoy the view 🧘🏻 🏝 Dunhuang is a pretty small city compared to many others in China, so to get to this beautiful oasis, you can walk (if you’re staying in a hotel nearby) or take a bus! 🏝 While the dunes are beautiful, and you could easily just spend an afternoon playing in the sand, if you want to take part in any of the on-site activities (helicopter ride, camel ride, ATV, paragliding, etc) you’ll need to pay extra. 🏝 If you’re happy to pay a higher premium for a helicopter ride, I’d thoroughly recommend it! While pricey, you get an incredible birds eye view of the lake itself. 📍Echoing Sand Mountain and Crescent Lake, Dunhuang, Gansu Province, China #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel
