Dunhuang Travel|Just came back from Mingsha Mountain, let me summarize it for everyone

This scenic spot is crowded, it's not an exaggeration. You can feel it from the drop-off point of the taxi. Because at a long street corner from the gate, these taxis, ride-hailing cars, and private cars can no longer go forward. People can only get off in advance, walk through many small shops, and walk all the way to the entrance. We went to this scenic spot twice. The evening of the same day and the morning of the next day. Everyone says that Mingsha Mountain is super difficult to climb, and we climbed it twice. The reason is simple, we thought it was just a place to check in, but we couldn't leave. The sand of Mingsha Mountain is very fine, and it feels great to step on, grab, and play with. The sunrise and sunset on the top of the sand mountain are also super beautiful—although I caught the right time both times, I missed both because I dawdled a little on the way, which is one of our biggest regrets in Dunhuang. However, after the sunset, the feeling of looking back at Dunhuang city is also super awesome, especially since we also caught half a sandstorm, which has a special kind of hazy and magnificent beauty. It reminds me of the descriptions in Wei Yu's 'West Exit of the Jade Gate', 'the loess square city faintly visible in the midnight sandstorm', I wonder if she also got her inspiration from here.
