Dunhuang Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring, camel riding chorus under the starry sky||

||Dunhuang Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring, camel riding➡️chorus➡️stargazing|| The sixth stop of the Northwest Grand Loop - Dunhuang Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring ▶️In summer, the sun sets very late, usually around nine or ten at night. Therefore, you generally enter the scenic area around six o'clock, and it seems that you can enter until eight o'clock at the latest. The ticket is valid for three days and allows multiple entries. ▶️We went in after six in the evening on the first day to ride camels and then climb to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset. ▶️On the second day, we entered at eight o'clock to join the concert with thousands of people and to watch the starry sky. 🔴Important Notes ➡️You can buy shoe covers outside the scenic area, which are quite useful, at least ours kept the sand out ➡️During the camel ride, the person leading the camel will arrange for a photo stop, but it costs 20 yuan per person, so you can request not to take photos ➡️It is recommended to walk to the top of the mountain to see the entire view of Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring ➡️On the second day, we visited other attractions in Dunhuang and then came back in the evening to sing together, so it was more relaxing ➡️When we went there in mid-June, the concert with thousands of people involved playing music and sitting on the sand to sing together, similar to karaoke ➡️Around dawn, you can see many stars, and if you're lucky, after the moon sets, you can see the Milky Way. However, make sure to bring warm clothes and water, as it gets very cold at night. Also, Mingsha Mountain is not the best place to view the Milky Way due to light pollution. Don't worry about coming down late, there are signs directing you to the entrance. ➡️Wearing bright clothes, especially red dresses, is very photogenic! There are many businesses renting clothes at the entrance, so you can consider dressing up and taking photos after entering. Since you have three days to enter, you can plan your visit accordingly
