Crescent Spring, the unparalleled scenery beyond the Great Wall | After the snow

Crescent Spring! A forgotten place on the Silk Road. Crescent Spring is known as 'the unparalleled scenery beyond the Great Wall', and is one of the 'three wonders' of Dunhuang. In this lifetime, you must bring your loved one to appreciate the romantic interweaving of sand and spring, and embark on an unforgettable desert journey. Snow is the brush, outlining the soft and hard contours of Crescent Spring in winter. The spring water is green, the desert is covered with snow, and a layer of silver is laid on the vast land. Between the half sand and half snow, the desert hills twist forward, like a wonderful landscape painting. After the snow, the Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring is like a mysterious and beautiful painting unfolding before your eyes. Snowflakes gently fall on the golden sand dunes, decorating the entire scenery like a poem and a painting. The interweaving of sand dunes and snow forms an intoxicating scene. Crescent Spring is surrounded by winter snow, like a bright pearl embedded in the silver world. The clear spring water is even more dazzling under the reflection of the snow, exuding a quiet and mysterious atmosphere. The breeze blows, the spring water ripples, as if telling the story of the vicissitudes of life. Standing on the top of the sand dune and looking down, the distant snow mountains and glaciers form a majestic and magnificent background, forming a sharp contrast with Crescent Spring. As you get closer, you will find that the ice on the edge of the spring is shining under the sun, like crystal clear gems. When night falls, the sky is dotted with stars, reflecting a more mysterious side of Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring. The spring water shimmers with silver light under the moonlight, like a fairyland in a dream. The breeze blows, carrying a cold taste, as if you are in a completely isolated fantasy world. Standing in this desert covered with snow, you will be conquered by the wonders of nature and the magnificent scenery of Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring after the snow. The beauty and uniqueness here will bring you an unforgettable experience, as if you have traveled to another world. After the snow, the Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring is a precious gift given to Dunhuang by nature, and also shows the unique charm of this ancient city. Whether it is day or night, it can make people intoxicated and feel its shock and beauty.
