What travelers say:
Mingsha Mountain climbed a camel and contacted a starry sky concert. I heard it all. This day, I have to fly to Crescent Spring. At night, it is like the return of the old man. It is more worth seeing to climb Mingsha Mountain at night.

The Echoing-Sand Mountain and Crescent Lake of Dunhuang---A thousand years of desolation, an unmelting tendernessThe echo of the Echoing-Sand Mountain, it is said, is the sound of the battles of the Han Dynasty soldiers when they were expeditioning to the Western Regions. The Crescent Lake, on the other hand, is the holy water of Buddha Sakyamuni. In my view, the Crescent Lake is more like the lover of the Echoing-Sand Mountain, held tightly in its chest, quietly guarding for a thousand years, what an unmelting tenderness. The Echoing-Sand Mountain and Crescent Lake scenic spot is located 5 kilometers south of Dunhuang city. You can take the No.3 bus from the city, or about 15 yuan by taxi. Once in the scenic area, you can take a shuttle bus (you need to buy a round-trip ticket for 20 yuan) to the Crescent Lake, or walk along the plank road for about 1.3 kilometers. Approaching the Crescent Lake, behind the reeds, there is a clear spring. The breeze blows, wrinkling the green of the pool. Close your eyes, at this moment, the heart is pure and pure. Looking up again, the flying eaves and pavilions, the poplar and willow, and the hundred-year-old moon spring ancient willow, as if the vicissitudes of the past are in front of you, the Crescent Lake has become the last tear, crystal clear. Climbing up the tower, the Echoing-Sand Mountain behind and the Crescent Lake in front seem to merge into one, a warm tenderness comes to the face. Then, take off your shoes and barefoot, feel the temperature from the sand grains, and climb up the sand ladder to the top of the mountain. Although it is difficult to walk, when your feet are completely immersed in the sand, you will feel the power given by the earth, and the footprints of history are stepped under your feet. After reaching the top, looking around, the winding curve of the sand ridge outlines the toughness of the northwest, and the Crescent Lake has become the mirror of the sky at this time. Under the sun, the heart is free. The crescent waves in the jade pool, the Echoing-Sand Mountain sits alone for another year.korvina_0622

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#qingmingtravelMichaela (@uncoveringcities)26
Each one is a check-in holy land, I don't believe you can resist the temptationWhen it comes to Gansu, many people's first image is the endless Gobi Desert, the scene of tornadoes. In fact, this land is far more than these. When you enter Gansu, you will find that it is a jade waiting to be discovered. The developed scenic spots are just the tip of the iceberg. Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, this ancient temple for thousands of years, witnessed the colorful culture of the Chinese nation. I have visited countless caves, each cave is like a silent scroll, decorating the chapter of Oriental art. Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring, a spring and a sand, the wonderland is fully displayed. According to legend, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent General Huo Qubing to conquer the Western Regions, he found that the spring water here was clear and sweet, so he ordered the construction of a palace here for the army to rest. Later, this palace was called "Yueyaquan Palace", and the spring water was named "Yueyaquan" because of this. The dream of a thousand years in the desert is never barren. Drunk lying on the side of Mingsha Moon Spring, thousands of sands and springs have no color. I once sat on the sand mountain, watching the golden sand grains dancing in the wind, the sand mountain making a humming sound, like a giant beast groaning in ancient times. From sunrise to sunset, crossing a thousand years seems to see the camel team on the Silk Road thousands of years ago, and hear the sound of camel bells. And I can only, take a look at the Crescent Spring and turn back... Jiayuguan, looking out over the winding Great Wall, the vast Gobi Desert is in front of you. The whole city is solemn and solemn, like an old man, guarding the territory of the motherland with his vicissitudes of eyes. Stepping on the ancient city wall, there are yellow sand and ice peaks in front of you. Touching these stones of Heishan, thinking about the scene of the ancients pouring water on the road to freeze, bricks hanging on the back of the sheep, and successfully transporting the stone materials, I really admire the wisdom of the ancients. It is said that a brick on the back eaves platform of the gate tower of Xiweng City is a brick left over by the craftsmen who built the pass through the algorithm. It is said to be placed by the immortals and has been preserved here since the Ming Dynasty! The spirit of the great national craftsmen is fully displayed here. The Mogao Grottoes are known as the 'Oriental Louvre', and the deep history and brilliant culture they contain are unmatched by any religious grottoes, temples or palaces in the world today. Pay attention to the key points of the visit: There are many caves in the Mogao Grottoes, but the most famous ones include the 156th, 175th, 249th, 285th and other cave visitors. You can arrange the visit route according to the time schedule and personal interest. Respect for cultural relics: Please keep quiet during the visit, do not touch or photograph murals and sculptures. Respecting cultural relics is the responsibility of every visitor.acrid.brianna
Dunhuang's Secret Realm Star-gazing Group: A Starlight Pact Beneath the Mingsha MountainIn the Mingsha Mountain of Dunhuang, the desert intertwines with the starry sky to create a dreamlike tapestry. As night falls, carrying a longing for romance, one steps into this mysterious desert. Adorned in a light gauze dress, like the brightest star in the night sky, you embellish the boundless sandy sea. In this desert, not only are beautiful silhouettes left behind, but also endless reveries of the romantic starry sky. In this vast desert, the starry sky is the most romantic poet, narrating endless love stories with its twinkling and changing patterns. When leaving this desert, the heart is filled with reluctance and longing. This starry sky and desert will forever remain in memory, becoming the most romantic recollection. And with this romance and beauty, one continues on the journey of life.DEVIN TODD

The Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring in the desert present a scene of solitary smoke rising straight into the sky, while the setting sun over the long river is perfectly roundDunhuang: Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring. The mountain and spring coexist, with sand and water nurturing each other! Along the way, one can feel the simple customs of the Northwest. Camel rides cost 100 yuan per person, taking you on a ride that might make you question life, with over a thousand camels forming a caravan for an hour-long journey. During this, one might encounter a desert storm. Sitting on the Mingsha Mountain watching the sunset, one can experience the grandeur of the solitary smoke in the desert and the roundness of the setting sun over the long river! It is recommended that everyone come to Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring in the evening when it is not too hot. After the camel ride, you can also enjoy a beautiful desert sunset. Remember to bring waterNoah MacGregor
Off-Season Gansu Non-Self-Drive Seven Days Six Nights Experience | Dunhuang EditionMain itinerary: Dunhuang-Zhangye-Lanzhou Now Gansu is overall in the off-season for tourism, the climate is not very stable, some areas still have snow, and the vegetation has not really sprouted. Locals say it will be more comfortable starting from late April (but there are also fewer people during the off-season) Day1 Shanghai-Lanzhou-Dunhuang✈️ Transferring at Lanzhou Airport is quite convenient, meal vouchers are provided, p2 is beef noodles and apricot peel tea ordered at Anboer (the egg was brought by myself), it is recommended to add another portion of beef. p3-5 are taken on the way from Lanzhou to Dunhuang, very spectacular, strongly suggest not to sleep on this part of the flight Day2 Mogao Caves➕Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring 📍Mogao Caves I decided to come to Gansu at this time for the off-season discounts of Mogao Caves and Mingsha Mountain, but now (after April 1) the promotion has ended, 280 yuan to see 8 caves, Mingsha Mountain also returned to the original price. External vehicles can only drive to the Digital Center, where you use your ID card to get tickets, watch two movies (the second one is on a spherical screen, very impressive) then take the scenic area bus to Mogao Caves. You need to queue up and follow the guide into the caves for a visit, each group's route is random. Note that photography is not allowed inside the caves‼️ The visit takes about two hours, if interested, you can buy tickets for special caves, or follow other groups to see the ordinary caves you missed. There is also a museum outside the Mogao Caves worth visiting, and finally take the bus back to the Digital Center to return to the city. 📍Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring You can see Mingsha Mountain (p9) from the city. It's cheaper to buy shoe covers outside the scenic area, but they don't seem to be very useful as the sand gets everywhere... Fortunately, the sand is very fine and does not hurt your feet. You can ride camels here, but you can't walk to the top of the mountain, you have to walk up to see Crescent Spring. It is strongly recommended to climb the sand dunes using the ladder (p11), otherwise, it will be very tiring. Even with the ladder, there is a steep section where you need to use hands and feet (I was very scared at the time), it took me about ten minutes to climb up, overall ok. It is recommended to start climbing one hour before sunset, there is about a two-hour time difference between Dunhuang and the East China region, it will not get dark until around eight o'clock. 📍Shazhou Night Market A place selling various souvenirs. You can also check out Lanzhou Lane nearby, it might be cheaper. 🏨Near Shazhou Night Market Dunhuang city area is very small, staying near Shazhou Night Market is convenient. 🚘Transportation There is a bus right outside the airport that takes you to the city center, 10 yuan per person. Taxis in Dunhuang are very convenient, they are almost instantly booked, and there is a high proportion of female drivers, so it is very safe for girls to come here alone. You can take bus number 3 to Mingsha Mountain from the city center. 🛍️Outfit The wind at Mingsha Mountain is a bit strong, it's best to wear a hat and a windbreaker. The sun in Dunhuang is quite strong, pay attention to sun protection and moisturizing. 🍜Eat Ga Liu Lamb Recommended signature lamb and braised lamb with bread, apricot peel tea is also good. Beisong Ice Boiled Lamb (p13) The taste is okay but a bit expensive. Si Lu Apricot Peel Tea (p14) Ordered the iced rose fermented rice drink, incredibly delicious! Missed it dearly after leaving Dunhuang pps The people in Dunhuang are very friendly and enthusiastic, the service attitude is comparable to Haidilao, rarely seen elsewhereVICTORIA HOPKINS1
Let's step into the great NorthwestWhen it comes to the Northwest, many people will think of the desolation and bleakness of 'the lonely smoke in the desert, the long river and the round sunset'. Many verses of the great Northwest are images of yellow sand all over the sky, majestic and bleak, and rough and unrestrained. But in fact, the great Northwest is more than that. It has many extreme beauties Every place has a different shockxandoria_95082

Mingsha Mountain climbed a camel and contacted a starry sky concert. I heard it all. This day, I have to fly to Crescent Spring. At night, it is like the return of the old man. It is more worth seeing to climb Mingsha Mountain at night.
The scenery of Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring is really beautiful! Crescent Spring is simply picturesque, with lush reeds on the side of the crescent-shaped lake, which is interesting to the quiet lake. Standing by the pavilion railings by the lake to watch the Crescent Spring, there are different scenery from climbing Mingsha Mountain to overlook the Crescent Spring, but they are all beautiful, really sighing about the creation of nature. Climbing Mingsha Mountain is also a pleasure. Climbing up the mountain ladder, looking back from time to time, taking a picture, I enjoy it. It is a scene to climb the top of the mountain. You can see the sand mountains continuous, the ridges are twisted and prominent, and they are very beautiful. Remember to prepare a shoe cover, otherwise the fine sand will enter the shoes. On May 18 and 19, tickets are free, so we can catch up, so lucky!
Mingsha Mountain is worth five stars. First of all, you can meet your fantasy of the desert. Secondly, you can challenge the mountain climbing. The scenery of the crescent spring on the top of the mountain is pleasant. There are off-road vehicles on the top of the mountain. You can choose a camel to walk a small loop line under the mountain. The filming rate of interesting scenery is basically full.
The experience is very good, secreted super dopamine, super happy! You need to buy a shoe cover before you go in, otherwise you will fill the sand. The camel must be ridden. It is very beautiful to experience the feeling of a desert boat on the top of the mountain to see the crescent moon spring. There can be a lot of flying in it, you can try it
The Crescent Spring Scenic Area of Mingsha Mountain is beautiful, and the beautiful Crescent Spring is between the two sand mountains. It is as clear as a mirror and very clear. Looking at Crescent Spring from a distance is really like a mirror in the sky and the eyes of the desert. The 110 yuan ticket is valid for three days. In order to enjoy the style of the thousand-year-old temple over and over again, enjoy the magnificent scenery of the desert lonely smoke and the sunset of the long river, I went to Crescent Spring for three consecutive evenings. From riding Luo to experience the boat in the desert, people feel the scenery of the Silk Road desert in the middle of the painting. Climb to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset, to the Crescent Pavilion and Crescent Spring close contact, the mood is comfortable, the healing department is very strong.
In the off-season of the New Year, Mingsha Mountain is free of charge, but remember to make an appointment for tickets. If you don't make an appointment, you can also make an appointment on-site self-service machine, and then swipe your ID card to enter. The first time I saw the desert, it was very shocking and there was a feeling of time and space crossing. It was to ride a camel, 100 yuan per person, buy a ticket, don't wait a long time to get on the camel, we are lucky to meet a camel person who can take pictures, take pictures for an extra charge of 20 yuan per person, this is your own choice, not forced. Crescent spring is frozen, and the surrounding reeds are golden and yellow under the sun, which is very suitable for taking pictures.
The sand is very comfortable. I climbed Mingsha Mountain twice in the morning and evening. It was very pleasant to lie on the sand slope. The breeze was blowing slowly. I watched the flow of people in and around Crescent Spring and Mingyue Pavilion, and the camel team not far away. It seemed to have a feeling of crossing. As night fell, the lights were on, and Crescent Spring and Mingyue Pavilion were lit. Although there was no companionship of Mingyue, the music under the sand slope mixed with the light of the mobile phone in the crowd made this ancient desert full of vitality.
