Crescent Moon Lake in Dunhuang… stunning

Is this China? Yes! I know it’s hard to believe but this fascinating desert is found in Gansu province. You can arrive by plane, but we took a long drive through Qinghai province to arrive. The sand dunes are flawless, the views are outstanding, and the experience is unforgettable. Don’t miss out on this unique destination in China! Enjoy the delectable late night street food downtown, the sand sleds on the dunes, the Crescent Lake night sunsets, and the MoGao Caves nearby for ancient Silk Road history. #gansuroadtrip #dunhuang #deserts #dunes #crescentmoonlake #sand #silkroad
