Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake are located in the south of Dunhuang city. The sand hills and springs coexist here. It has always been famous for its "desert wonders" and is one of Dunhuang's business cards. Here you can climb Mingsha Mountain and overlook Crescent Lake, and you can also enjoy the sunset in the desert from the top of the mountain and feel the desolation and vastness of the northwest desert.Although water and fire cannot coexist, Crescent Lake is located safely in this sand hill. Crescent Lake is located at the foot of Mingsha Mountain, surrounded by sand dunes. Due to the terrain, when the wind blows, the sand does not flow down the mountain, but flows up the mountain. Therefore, Crescent Lake is never buried by sand and is known as the "Eye of the Desert".Mingsha Mountain is made of quicksand. From a distance, the sand dunes are undulating and spectacular. It is recommended to visit the Attraction in the afternoon, so that you can avoid the heat in the desert at noon, and climb to the top of the mountain to look at the distant sand sea and Crescent Lake at the foot of the mountain and watch the beautiful sunset.The Attraction currently offers a variety of recreational activities, such as camel riding, sand sliding, grass sliding, desert motorcycles, archery, helicopter tours, etc. Among them, camel riding and sand sliding are more popular among tourists and are worth experiencing.After entering the Attraction, tourists can directly climb up Mingsha Mountain, enjoy the scenery, and then choose to slide down the mountain. When you slide down from the top of the mountain, you will hear a "dong dong dong" sound, like the sound of gongs and drums, which is frightening and exciting, and Mingsha Mountain got its name from this.
