Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring

Climb up Mingsha Mountain, overlook the Crescent Spring, enjoy the sunset of the desert on the top of the mountain, and feel the desolate and vastness of the northwest desert. The desert is lonely and the sunset of the long river. Ancient road camellia, desert oasis. Less than the northwest, I don't know the vastness of the world. Less than Dunhuang, I don't know the wonderfulness of the western region. Mingsha Mountain ． Crescent Spring 📍📍

Some roads in Crescent Spring Scenic Area are under construction. The experience is not very good, especially the photos taken from Mingsha Mountain are very influential, but the scenic service is really user-friendly. The construction impact experience is explained at the exit. You can come again for free within three years with a ticket ID card. This is really good. Construction is inevitable, but cultural tourism in Gansu is great and the service experience is very good. Finally, by the way, the camel is worth experiencing once.

One of the most well-known attractions in Dunhuang, you can scan the ID card on the spot after buying a ticket on Trip.com. The scenic spot is now under construction inside, and the route is a bit winding. You need to go to Crescent Spring first to go to Mingsha Mountain. It is a bit tired under the big sun.

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.

Very beautiful, very open, very free, the sand is very soft and comfortable, the strangers who climbed the hillside also became comrades-in-arms and a family, everyone sang together, took pictures, encouraged each other, so unhappy and warm. Very unforgettable.

In winter, Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring is great value, the tickets are half price, and there are not many tourists. It takes a long time to ride a camel like summer. The scenery of Mingsha Mountain in winter has a special flavor. At six or seven o'clock, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sun slowly setting and the lighting of the Crescent Spring.

There are not many individual tourists in the off-season, and there are more team tourists. You can get free tickets by plane. This discount is very good. The hot air balloon is only available after May, and it depends on the weather to arrange take-off. Originally queued to ride a camel, but there were too many tourists in the team, disrupting the original queue order, waiting for a long time to make up not enough people, but unfortunately did not ride, but the impact is not big, riding a camel and climbing up the route is different, you can climb up to see the panoramic Crescent Spring. The sand top is very windy, and the sand mask is necessary, but no matter how it is, it must be full of sand, clothes, shoes, hair, and even the mouth will enter the sand. The sand in Mingsha Mountain is very delicate and feels good.

I always thought that the crescent spring had withered and was now artificially irrigation, but it seemed to be my misconception. . . The natural landscape is good, and many people rent clothes here to take pictures, especially the flying sky, which is also very beautiful. Riding camels is very fun. I saw a comment before that if you don’t take pictures of the master with the camel, you will be unhappy. It may be managed. Now there is a big sign in the place where you take pictures. If you don’t take pictures of the master, you can complain about the face. There is also a complaint phone. But I think it’s actually quite good to take a lot of photos for 20 yuan, not expensive, and the effect is not bad. Whether it’s watching the scenery, riding a camel or changing clothes to take pictures, it’s very interesting, it’s very cold at night after watching the sunset, it’s worth playing.
