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

Known admiringly as ‘First Spring in the Desert’, Crescent Spring in Dunhuang is situated at the foot of Mingsha Mountain (part of, named after, and typical of the surrounding Singing Sand Dunes). Seen from afar, Crescent Spring resembles a crescent moon, hence its name. A legend goes that the Seven Star Grasses, with specialized properties for curing difficult and complicated diseases, grow at Crescent Spring, and those who eat them will live forever, therefore, the Crescent Spring is also called ‘Medicinal Spring’. Location: at the foot of the Singing Sand (Mingsha) Mountain Open: 6am–7:30pm Typical touring time: 1–2 hours Best seasons: May to October

Crescent spring in dunhuang is located at the foot of mingsha mountains , we hired a private taxi from the station and headed straight for it and spent the evening there and saw a beautiful sunset from one of the sand dunes and later checked into stay for the night book near by at a camping site in the desert, which was close by the mingsha mountains Food & Restaurants - there are no restaurants nearby as such so would have to enjoy the hotpot or barbecue options available at your accommodations for the night Shopping - there are many souvenir shops and local crafts shop at the entrance to the crescent spring attraction , the most beautiful part is the traditional dress rentals around that get your styling and makeup done for a photoshoot at the sand dunes. we opted to just enjoy the scenery and a beautiful sunset from atop the sand dunes #china #travelinspiration

once you arrive in Dunghuang (by train or by flight, these are the best options), will be easy to get a taxi and arrive there. there are many restaurants before the entrance, you can eat something before to enter as probably you're going to spend a lot of time inside we went to watch the sunset and it was super beautiful, one of the best sunset in China. even if the city arrive very close to the desert, once you're inside you feel you're in the middle of nowhere. there are many activities to do inside the desert like ride the camel, drive the quad(actually you just drive for a short distance, the rest is the guide with you who drives), and other activities. so you can enter in the afternoon, do some activities and then watch the sunset #historicculture#beautifulsunsets#naturalwonders#deserts#nationalpark#lakes

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.

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

#Overseas Travel Wusha Mountain is named after the sound made by the movement of sand. When we come to the desert, we must try riding camels on the sand. Teams of camels go up and down the sand mountain, which is quite spectacular. In addition to being able to set foot on Mingsha Mountain when visiting Crescent Lake Park, we found a hotel facing Mingsha Mountain so that we can enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset of Mingsha Mountain. #Overseas Travel

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. Cost: The main big head is traffic, round-trip planes, trains, and chartered cars are about 1900. The low seasons are very cheap, with an average of 100 or so per night. The rest of the tickets and food are rare, especially in the off-season. : : divided into east and west lines, east line must go to Mogao Grottoes, Mingsha Mountain Crescent Springs West Line must go to Dunhuang Ancient City, Yangguan, Yumenguan, Yadan Devil City Jiayuguan: Jiayuguan 3 scenic spots Zhang Wei: Colorful Danxia, Binggou Danxia, Dafo Temple Urumqi: Tianchi (in fact, general, but the time is short and beautiful can not go), Wushi City ( Hongshan Park, Grand Bazaar, Uygur Autonomous Region Museum) About the photo wear winter cold, with too much clothes is not very convenient, so the concave shape mainly depends on hats and other accessories. I brought a long down jacket, two woolen coats, and a red cloak. About self-timer Because it is a person walking alone in the northwest, it is mainly based on self-timer. With a tripod, set a ten-second self-timer, and always take a few more shots. For special scenes, such as desert or snow, adjust the parameters for a good focus and find a passerby to help click.
