Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring | You must visit this special desert for taking amazing photos ❗️

Chengdu self-driving to Dunhuang. ✨Mingsha Mountain To the east of the Mingsha Mountain is the Sanwei Mountain, to the south is the Heishi Peak Mountain, and to the west is the Gobi and Kumtag Desert. The west wind and north wind, carrying more sand, are blocked by the mountain here, causing the sand particles in the wind to settle down over time, forming the Mingsha Mountain. Under the influence of the wind, the Mingsha Mountain "remains unchanged after a night of wind, with its tracks still visible", always maintaining a certain height and shape. For thousands of years, the Mingsha Mountain still stands tall, and the sound of sand still echoes in the ears. The Qingming Shangming of the Sand Ridge is one of the eight scenic spots in Dunhuang. Dunhuang, formerly known as Shazhou, was named after this place. ✨Crescent Spring Crescent Spring is a clear spring nestled in the Mingsha Mountain, shaped like a dark moon, hence the name "Crescent Spring". Crescent Spring was formed under the internal and external dynamic conditions of tectonic movement, flowing water, and wind geological effects in loose geological structures, low-lying terrain, and regional high groundwater levels. Despite the changing of stars and the howling of wind and sand, Crescent Spring still shines like a bright mirror with its clear blue water. The coexistence of sand and water, and the interdependence of mountain springs have created the world wonder of "the first spring in the desert". 1⃣For leisure travel, you can follow this route: Mingyue Square Archway - Camel Riding - East Peak of Mingsha Mountain - Tiebeiyu Park - Crescent Spring. 2️⃣Learn about the stories and legends of Couple Willow and Medicine King Temple Site. 3⃣Inside Yuege, you can take a photo with the popular coffee and the latte art is quite unique. 4️⃣The sun is strong, make sure to protect yourself from sunburn.

Into the desert we go 🌵🐫

Flying to Dunhuang and visiting the Cresent Spring and Echo Sand Mountains. What a day! The weather was perfect , there were so many activities to do but our time was limited. The main activity was riding a Camel for an hour, which was so cool . Climbing a sand dune, which was tough but luckily for us you could choose between walking up on your own or using some sort of climbing stair. When you get half way down the dune, you can either walk , run or slide down. We ended off with enjoying a VR hot air balloon. What a great experience! The desert was definitely one of the best activities of our trip. #passionpassport #deserts #dunes #camelride

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

Visitors to Dunhuang in far Western Gansu Province, definitely want to visit the Crescent Moon Spring and the Singing Sands Mountain. These enormous sand dunes are amazing and legend tells that travelers would hear distant voices from nearby ridges. Wandering in the direction they thought they’d find people, these travelers would become lost and disoriented in the endless sands. #triplocal

A large piece of reed swaying makes Mingsha Mountain have a feeling of autumn. For me, it is a rare and memorable memory to see the beauty of its different seasons. Wearing a red dress walking on the Mingsha Mountain, feeling the unique northwest style is what I always wanted to do. When I walked here, I suddenly understood the true meaning of travel and life. This time I finally fulfilled the desert style I wanted. I really love this series of ducks today~ tips: Tickets 110 yuan/person, riding a camel 100 yuan/person

In order to see the sunrise in the desert, it was early in the morning, at 4 o'clock in the morning, I felt that the whole person was still alive. Mingsha Mountain in the morning, walking barefoot on the top is particularly comfortable, soft sand, cold and cold. We climbed a hill and waited quietly. The sunrise here is beyond my imagination. It is not a red yolk, but a pearl, small and beautiful, quite eye-catching, and beautiful things are nothing more than this. The camel team is also there early in the morning, but riding a camel can only watch the sunrise halfway. Also, if you have a trip to see the sunrise, you must first buy the ticket the day before yesterday, and brush the fingerprint on the next day to enter the scenic spot. Otherwise, there is no ticket sales in the early morning.

Mingsha Mountain is still the Mingsha Mountain. The Crescent Moon Spring is no longer the Crescent Moon Spring... Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Spring are a pair of twin sisters in the desert Gobi. Water is good for God." There is indeed a sense of "Mingshashan Yiyi, Crescent Moon Springs". The Crescent Moon Spring is surrounded by high sand mountains with a small lake shaped like a crescent. Mingsha Mountain will make a sound when it is sunny or when someone slides down from the mountain, so it is called Mingsha Mountain. There is also a strange phenomenon here. Because of the terrain, the sand does not go down the mountain when it is windy, but flows down the mountain from the mountain. , so the Crescent Spring will never be buried by the sand, known as the Desert Wonders...

The peaks of Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang are undulating and golden. When he is quiet, the ups and downs of the mountain outline a soft line, like a soft satin, spreading from the bottom to the far side; when the wind blows up However, it seems that there are thousands of horses galloping, making a huge noise, coming from all directions. Such contradictory beauty is singularly integrated into the Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang, and people can't help but sigh the wonders of nature.

Mingshashan Crescent Spring! Riding a camel and feeling the desert sands. a curved spring

I believe that everyone has a travel destination in mind. Just like many people have to go to Tibet once in a lifetime, and my obsession is Dunhuang. Go to the sand-sand desert, Mingsha Mountain, and see the moon-free spring in the Mingsha Mountain. I am full of all the good imaginations, and the moment I can see it shocks me. I imagined its vastness, but I didn't expect it to be like silk, sand peaks like a blade; I imagined it was clear and bright, but I never imagined it to be as delicate as a crescent. Thank you, Crescent Moon Spring, Mingsha Mountain, round my dreams. Practical small Tip: Riding a camel for 100 yuan per person, the journey is about 1 hour. Let the camel person help to take a photo of 20 yuan, the technology is not bad. Mingshashan is very dry, super invincible sun, must do a good job of sun protection. I have already blacked out two color numbers.

My desert travel blockbuster is coming, hahahaha... When I mentioned going to Mingshashan, the first thing I thought was the red dress? This time, let's make a difference, and make a cool "women's satay". Take outdoor photos, remember two words: dynamic! Run Jump Walk with you, just move it, the photo must be captured. If you don't have a photo technology, you will always choose a photo of your heart. yarn long coat, be sure to choose a light texture so that you can fly with the wind. Headwear, increase the exotic atmosphere of the desert. Sunglasses, the best props for sunscreen. Pair it with a little exquisite earrings or necklaces!

Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang is a treasure on the ancient Silk Road. It is the most classic way to ride a camel in the scenic area. Then you can climb the moon and watch the sunset. It can be said that Mingsha Mountain can satisfy all my illusions about the desert, and it can also make you feel awe in nature. It is worth noting that Dengsha Mountain needs a certain amount of physical strength, especially the more tired it will be. When going down the mountain, it is quite easy, but it is easy to pour sand into the shoes. It is recommended to rent a shoe cover outside the scenic spot. Don't ask me how I know it. It is a lesson learned in the field!

7 days 3,000 yuan, girls alone in the northwest first declare that I am not a poor swim, but only chose the wrong peak travel. Line: Chengdu-Xining-Lanzhou-Dunhuang-Jiayuguan-Zhangyu-Urumqi-Chengdu The whole journey is 7 days, the two-way plane, the rest are all trains. In Zhangye and Dunhuang, they chose to charter a car.

Overall, Dunhuang Mingsha Mountain is truly a charming place, whether it's the magnificent natural scenery or the rich cultural history, it makes you linger. If you also yearn for a close encounter with nature, come here! I believe you will be as attracted to this sand sea as I am!
