"Mingsha Mountain - Crescent Moon Spring" is located about 5 kilometers south of the city of Dunhuang. 🤩 Come here, you can witness the yellow sand and clear spring in the same frame, super fantastic ~ The mountain body of Mingsha Mountain is all made of quicksand piles, a large sand dunes undulating, great! Looking at the desert and blue sky and white clouds from a distance, the picture is max, great for photography📸! Crescent Moon Spring is quietly located at the foot of Mingsha Mountain, the whole is held by a ring of sand dunes, it feels really a kind of independent beauty ~ The most amazing thing is that no matter how the wind blows, the sand will not cover this clear spring, really a miracle of nature 👍🏻! If you want to play more deeply, you can go to the camel riding point to experience the desert camel riding tour, super feel! In addition to the desert, there are also ancient buildings and autumn tree scenery to match, the outdoor scenery is excellent, IG burst like can not be beat 🖼️ Address: Inside the Crescent Moon Spring in Yangjiaqiao Township, Dunhuang City, Jiuquan City, the ancient building group Mingsha Mountain Crescent Moon Spring Whether it's natural scenery or cultural style, when you come to Dunhuang "Mingsha Mountain - Crescent Moon Spring", you must take a photo in person to realize a romantic desert trip!
