Crescent Spring -Mingsha Mountain The AAAAA tourist attraction in Dunhuang, Gansu, is a marvelous spectacle of lake water in the long and mysterious desert. At the foot of the Mingsha Mountain, spring water forms a lake. Surrounded by sand dunes, it bends like a crescent moon, so it gets its name. You can enjoy the wonders of the neighboring yellow sand and springs, climb Mingsha Mountain, ride camels, and experience the extraordinary scenery of the northwest desert. Since the Han Dynasty, it has been one of the "Eight Scenes of Dunhuang", named "Yuequan Xiaoche". Crescent Spring is located at the foot of Mingsha Mountain, surrounded by sand dunes, with the deepest depth of about 5 meters. Because of the terrain, the sand does not go down the mountain when the wind blows, but flows up the mountain, so Crescent Spring will never be buried by sand.
The best time to visit the scenic spot is 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 moon spring at the foot of the mountain when the sun sets. When tourists slide down from the top of the mountain, they will hear the sound of "Dong Dong Dong", which is like beating gongs and drums. It is scary and exciting. At present, the scenic spot provides a variety of amusement projects, such as camel riding, sand skiing, grass skiing, desert motorcycle, archery, etc.

Tourist Evaluation of Crescent Spring Scenic Spot ：
@Kunming didn't understand: In the whole trip to Qinghai and Gansu, I was most impressed by a place. When I first entered the scenic spot gate, I began to marvel. It was like going to Egypt, like a pyramid, and riding a camel for the first time in my life. It was such a desert feel. Sand skiing was super fun. Camping in the desert at night, watching the sunset, sunrise, bonfire party, and looking up to the Milky Way, an unforgettable experience in my life, I will go again later!
@Cherish life: We escaped to Mingsha Mountain. It's easy to escape. Of course, I don't recommend escaping because it's a little far and dangerous. We have to climb over several sand dunes. Of course, the scenery we see is also different. It's very interesting to set up a tent in the desert to see the stars, but remember to be prepared for sand prevention.
@Setting in the wind: The scenery is very good, especially the view of climbing the sand dune on the edge of Crescent Spring overlooking the whole Crescent Spring. It is suggested that you can climb the sand dune one hour before sunset, and at the same time you can enjoy the sunset and night view of Crescent Spring, which is quite good. If you want to pick out a problem, I think the ticket is really high
