Suddenly, I want to go to Dunhuang.

That land in the northwest, seems to have a mysterious power, constantly calling in my heart. Imagine stepping on that ancient land, you can touch the context of history, feel the precipitation of time. Dunhuang is a living history book. The Thousand Buddha Caves of Mogao Grottoes, those exquisite murals, are the crystallization of the wisdom and art of the ancients. Every stroke is delicate and vivid, every color seems to tell a story. Standing in the cave, looking up at the full wall of brilliance, thoughts can't help but travel through thousands of years, returning to that prosperous era. Artisans used their hands to create such shocking art treasures, allowing future generations to appreciate the charm of ancient civilization. Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring is a masterpiece of nature. The golden sand dunes undulate, shining under the sun. When the breeze blows, the sand flows, making a pleasant sound, as if it is a movement played by nature. And that clear crescent spring, like a pearl inlaid in the desert, brings vitality and hope to this desolate land. Climb to the top of the sand dunes, overlooking the beauty of Crescent Spring, and a sense of awe for nature arises in my heart. Yumen Pass is a witness to history. Standing in front of this ancient pass, it seems that you can see the golden horses and iron horses and the merchants coming and going thousands of years ago. The wind and sand of the years have eroded its appearance, but the majestic momentum still shocks people. Every brick and stone seems to tell the glory and vicissitudes of the past. Dunhuang World Geopark, feel the magical power of nature. Here, you will see various strange wind erosion landforms, such as castles, streets, buildings, squares, churches, sculptures, etc., which are vivid and vivid. The wind erosion landforms here are varied, some are like pagodas, palaces, haystacks, golden peacocks standing tall and looking far away, eagles ready to fly, fleets breaking through the waves in the sea, warriors with angry eyes, and some are like beautiful women. Dunhuang's food is also a part that people yearn for. Donkey meat noodles, the noodles are strong, the donkey meat is delicious, and the combination is memorable. Mutton stewed cake, the mutton is tender and juicy, the cake absorbs the fragrance of mutton, and the taste is rich. There is also the sweet and delicious apricot peel water, which is refreshing and thirst-quenching, and is the best drink in summer. Tasting these delicacies, it seems that you can also feel the enthusiasm and boldness of Dunhuang people. The night in Dunhuang is quiet and mysterious. The starry sky is brilliant, as if within reach. Walking on the ancient streets, feeling the breeze, my heart is extremely peaceful. Those ancient buildings exude unique charm in the night, as if they have traveled back to ancient times. Suddenly, I really want to go to Dunhuang immediately. To experience the profound historical culture, to appreciate the magnificent natural scenery, to taste the delicious local food. In Dunhuang, find inner peace and satisfaction, and let your soul be baptized.
