Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring, the autumn wind and singing sand together paint a golden picture

In autumn, Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring resemble a golden painting, waiting for visitors to arrive. The sand grains on Mingsha Mountain sing in the wind, harmonizing with the sound of camel bells to create a unique melody. Visitors can stroll along the curve, measuring the vastness with their footprints and capturing touching moments. Crescent Spring lies quietly deep in the desert; under the bright autumn sun and the bleak autumn wind, it never dries up or fades. The underground clear spring is its pulse, and the sky reflected in its embrace stirs ripples that are the most sincere greetings. The desert ship, the camel, travels alongside the travelers, with yellow sand spreading and dunes rising and falling, leaving deep and shallow footprints. The desert’s intertwined branches touch each other and their roots entwine tightly; the sand of Mingsha Mountain and the water of Crescent Spring nourish them together. In the morning, Crescent Spring turns the morning light into golden foil scattered on the leaves; in the evening, Mingsha Mountain drapes the sunset glow like a shawl over the branches. Here, visitors can feel the clear singing of the sand, the gentle secrets of Crescent Spring, and the thousand-year promise of the couple willows. Take advantage of the beautiful autumn light and come to Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring to understand every exclusive autumn whisper of the desert!
