Let's step into the great NorthwestWhen it comes to the Northwest, many people will think of the desolation and bleakness of 'the lonely smoke in the desert, the long river and the round sunset'. Many verses of the great Northwest are images of yellow sand all over the sky, majestic and bleak, and rough and unrestrained. But in fact, the great Northwest is more than that. It has many extreme beauties Every place has a different shockxandoria_95082
One of the five most beautiful deserts, Mingsha Mountain | It would be perfect if you don't wait to ride a camelMingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Opening hours: 7:30-18:00 Recommended visiting time: 6-8 hours (the queue for camels is long) 💰Ticket: 55 yuan➕rent shoe cover 20 yuan 💰Riding a camel at your own expense➕100 yuan/person (the cost is not low and the experience is not good) ✅Introduction to Mingsha Mountain 🉑Dunhuang Mingsha Mountain·Crescent Spring is located five kilometers south of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province, and the scenic area covers an area of 76.82 square kilometers, 🉑The core scenic area is defined as 12.79 square kilometers and is known as "one of the unique landscapes outside the Great Wall". 🉑It is one of the typical symbols of Dunhuang. In 2015, it was rated as a national 5A tourist attraction and belongs to the Dunhuang World Geopark in China. 🉑Dunhuang Mingsha Mountain is undoubtedly one of the five most beautiful deserts in China. The scenic area is very large, and it is the best choice to go to Mingsha Mountain on a sunny day. The photos are super beautiful. 🉑Not only the blue sky, white clouds, and yellow sand, but you can also ride a camel to see the Crescent Spring and even watch the stars until ten o'clock in the evening. ✅First talk about the warm hotel experience: 🉑Stay in Dunhuang at Dunhuang Jinghua Dunhuang Shazhou Jinghua Hotel (Museum Store) The hotel is a good hotel with high cost performance. 🉑The hotel has very enthusiastic service staff who tirelessly introduce Dunhuang's food, accommodation, and wall hangings, including the food in the Shazhou Night Market, etc., super enthusiastic. 🉑You must go to the Dunhuang Night Market. Feitian's hometown Shazhou Night Market The night market is very interesting. The first one at the entrance of the night market is Xinjiang Ali Roasted Naan. 💔Bad experience ❌But the problem is that tourists, especially individual tourists, enter the scenic area from the east gate without clear signs to get boots ❌Pitfall: Waiting to rent a camel is also chaotic, no one cares about individual tourists, the uncle who rents a camel is more enthusiastic about the team, and no one cares about individual tourists. We were very unhappy and left directly, and the two tickets were wasted. ❌It is not recommended to go to Mingsha Mountain on a cloudy day, and you can't take good photos. Of course, don't go on holidays, there are too many people, and it's not too much to wait for the camel team for two hours.Zoe Beaumont2
Off-Season Gansu Non-Self-Drive Seven Days Six Nights Experience | Dunhuang EditionMain itinerary: Dunhuang-Zhangye-Lanzhou Now Gansu is overall in the off-season for tourism, the climate is not very stable, some areas still have snow, and the vegetation has not really sprouted. Locals say it will be more comfortable starting from late April (but there are also fewer people during the off-season) Day1 Shanghai-Lanzhou-Dunhuang✈️ Transferring at Lanzhou Airport is quite convenient, meal vouchers are provided, p2 is beef noodles and apricot peel tea ordered at Anboer (the egg was brought by myself), it is recommended to add another portion of beef. p3-5 are taken on the way from Lanzhou to Dunhuang, very spectacular, strongly suggest not to sleep on this part of the flight Day2 Mogao Caves➕Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring 📍Mogao Caves I decided to come to Gansu at this time for the off-season discounts of Mogao Caves and Mingsha Mountain, but now (after April 1) the promotion has ended, 280 yuan to see 8 caves, Mingsha Mountain also returned to the original price. External vehicles can only drive to the Digital Center, where you use your ID card to get tickets, watch two movies (the second one is on a spherical screen, very impressive) then take the scenic area bus to Mogao Caves. You need to queue up and follow the guide into the caves for a visit, each group's route is random. Note that photography is not allowed inside the caves‼️ The visit takes about two hours, if interested, you can buy tickets for special caves, or follow other groups to see the ordinary caves you missed. There is also a museum outside the Mogao Caves worth visiting, and finally take the bus back to the Digital Center to return to the city. 📍Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring You can see Mingsha Mountain (p9) from the city. It's cheaper to buy shoe covers outside the scenic area, but they don't seem to be very useful as the sand gets everywhere... Fortunately, the sand is very fine and does not hurt your feet. You can ride camels here, but you can't walk to the top of the mountain, you have to walk up to see Crescent Spring. It is strongly recommended to climb the sand dunes using the ladder (p11), otherwise, it will be very tiring. Even with the ladder, there is a steep section where you need to use hands and feet (I was very scared at the time), it took me about ten minutes to climb up, overall ok. It is recommended to start climbing one hour before sunset, there is about a two-hour time difference between Dunhuang and the East China region, it will not get dark until around eight o'clock. 📍Shazhou Night Market A place selling various souvenirs. You can also check out Lanzhou Lane nearby, it might be cheaper. 🏨Near Shazhou Night Market Dunhuang city area is very small, staying near Shazhou Night Market is convenient. 🚘Transportation There is a bus right outside the airport that takes you to the city center, 10 yuan per person. Taxis in Dunhuang are very convenient, they are almost instantly booked, and there is a high proportion of female drivers, so it is very safe for girls to come here alone. You can take bus number 3 to Mingsha Mountain from the city center. 🛍️Outfit The wind at Mingsha Mountain is a bit strong, it's best to wear a hat and a windbreaker. The sun in Dunhuang is quite strong, pay attention to sun protection and moisturizing. 🍜Eat Ga Liu Lamb Recommended signature lamb and braised lamb with bread, apricot peel tea is also good. Beisong Ice Boiled Lamb (p13) The taste is okay but a bit expensive. Si Lu Apricot Peel Tea (p14) Ordered the iced rose fermented rice drink, incredibly delicious! Missed it dearly after leaving Dunhuang pps The people in Dunhuang are very friendly and enthusiastic, the service attitude is comparable to Haidilao, rarely seen elsewhereVICTORIA HOPKINS1
The Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring in the desert present a scene of solitary smoke rising straight into the sky, while the setting sun over the long river is perfectly roundDunhuang: Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring. The mountain and spring coexist, with sand and water nurturing each other! Along the way, one can feel the simple customs of the Northwest. Camel rides cost 100 yuan per person, taking you on a ride that might make you question life, with over a thousand camels forming a caravan for an hour-long journey. During this, one might encounter a desert storm. Sitting on the Mingsha Mountain watching the sunset, one can experience the grandeur of the solitary smoke in the desert and the roundness of the setting sun over the long river! It is recommended that everyone come to Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring in the evening when it is not too hot. After the camel ride, you can also enjoy a beautiful desert sunset. Remember to bring waterNoah MacGregor

Dunhuang | Mingsha Mountain - Crescent LakeToday I'm sharing strategies for visiting Crescent Lake~~ 🚙Transportation: About 10 yuan by taxi | Bus No. 3 (no need to group up) | Self-driving 💰Ticket: 55 yuan per person in the off-season (valid for 3 days | enter the park by swiping your ID card) 🈺Time: 7:00—17:00 (adjusted according to the season) No restriction on exit time, entry time is restricted🚫 👔Clothing: Large temperature difference between day and night, hats and gloves are indispensable, mainly winter clothes 👟Shoe covers: 20 yuan each time inside the scenic area, cheaper outside the scenic area, I forgot the exact price, wearing shoe covers will prevent sand from entering, no need to rent if wearing boots, or like me, wearing hiking snow gaiters which have the same effect (a little sand may enter), definitely will get sand in your shoes if not wearing any 🐫Camels: Scan the code at the entrance to buy tickets, exchange for paper tickets at the window, go to the place 🈶 with many camels, camel owners will call out numbers, pay attention to listen, 100 yuan/40 minutes, photo taking 📷➕20 yuan, finally reaching the foot of the mountain 🚉Sightseeing car: It's best to enter the park from the middle gate, 10 yuan per ride, actually it doesn't take long from the entrance to the foot of the mountain, a 1-kilometer road, but it's not suitable for the elderly 🧓, it's better to take the sightseeing car 🌄Sunset: If you're going for the sunset, don't enter too early, check the sunset time in advance, enter the park two hours ahead, it's really windy up there, super cold when blowing🥶, I waited for 4 hours for the sunset, and my hands turned purple from the cold after watching it, it's best to buy a rose for photos 📷, instantly feels like the Little Prince 💦Drinks: It's best to bring mineral water and lip balm, the wind really makes your mouth dry❌, there are no toilets on the mountain, but there are some at the foot of the mountain 🈶 🧗Climbing: Climb up step by step from the ladder where there are many people, don't step directly on the sand, it will take more time and effort, to be honest, it's a bit tiring, but if you persist✊, you can make it to the top, and you will sweat when climbing out in the sun, everyone be careful not to take off your clothes, be careful not to catch a cold, but the view from the top is definitely better than the slopes below, going down is quick, some people run down, I just choose to walk with big steps ⚠️ Finally, I hope everyone will protect the environment and not litter.RAEGAN WEBSTER

An oasis in the middle of the dessert 🏝. Like a mirage seen on a hot summer’s day, the dunes peek out from behind the high rise buildings, tempting you towards them. We spent the majority of the day exploring the stunning dessert landscape, where you can do anything from riding a camel or helicopter to paragliding and sand surfing. Or you know, just sit peacefully to enjoy the view 🧘🏻 🏝 Dunhuang is a pretty small city compared to many others in China, so to get to this beautiful oasis, you can walk (if you’re staying in a hotel nearby) or take a bus! 🏝 While the dunes are beautiful, and you could easily just spend an afternoon playing in the sand, if you want to take part in any of the on-site activities (helicopter ride, camel ride, ATV, paragliding, etc) you’ll need to pay extra. 🏝 If you’re happy to pay a higher premium for a helicopter ride, I’d thoroughly recommend it! While pricey, you get an incredible birds eye view of the lake itself. 📍Echoing Sand Mountain and Crescent Lake, Dunhuang, Gansu Province, China #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravelMichaela (@uncoveringcities)26

In this vast desert, the starry sky is the most romantic poet, narrating endless love stories with its twinkling and changing patterns. When leaving this desert, the heart is filled with reluctance and longing. This starry sky and desert will forever remain in memory, becoming the most romantic recollection. And with this romance and beauty, one continues on the journey of life.DEVIN TODD
Hexi Corridor Dunhuang|5 days and 4 nights to retrace the Silk Road|5 days and 4 nights to retrace the Silk Road. 🎈National Geographic once said: The Hexi Corridor is a transportation hub and a scenic corridor. Under the care of nature, this Silk Road has been endowed with a unique scenic corridor where snow mountains and deserts converge. In March and April, the Hexi Corridor is in the off-season, with cheaper tickets, air tickets, and hotels, and fewer tourists. More importantly, the Mogao Caves open 12 caves, which is super cost-effective. If you want to quietly appreciate the desert scenery of the cave art, it's the best time to come. 🚶5 days and 4 nights treasure itinerary DAY1⃣Arrive in Dunhuang DAY2⃣Dunhuang-Mogao Caves Scenic Area-Dunhuang Mud Painting-Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring-Stay in Dunhuang DAY3⃣Dunhuang-Yumen Pass-Yadan Devil City-Stay in Dunhuang DAY4⃣Dunhuang-Jiayuguan City-Zhangye Rainbow Danxia Sunset-Stay in Zhangye DAY5⃣Zhangye/Lanzhou Return 💓tips: The northwest scenic spots are far apart, and transportation is not so convenient. If it is the first time for friends to come to the Hexi Corridor and they don't want to make a strategy for fear of trouble, they can find a reliable local group, which is worry-free and cost-effective, and the accommodation is also good~ ✅Must check in attractions 📍Zhangye Rainbow Danxia The Danxia landform here is beautiful all year round, but the Danxia under the sunset is more beautiful, like a palette overturned by God. 📍Mogao Caves It takes at least half a day to play here, quietly appreciate the beautiful caves and murals, and then create your own Mogao Caves mud painting. 📍Mingsha Mountain. Crescent Spring There are groups of camels here, you can race camels, run horses, and sand sliding is also a good choice. 📍Yadan Devil City Countless fossils of various shapes fall on the vast wilderness, adding a bit of mystery and agility 📍The 'First Strong Pass in the World' is worthy of its name. When you climb the pass tower, this feeling of being majestic is particularly strong. 🔥Travel advice ✔️Hydrating mask: The climate is dry, which is very important for girls ✔️Sunscreen: Sunscreen, sun protection, sunburn prevention ✔️Sunglasses: Prevent sand from blowing into your eyes ✔️Hat scarf: Windproof to avoid colds, headaches caused by windsullivanashford75

Mingsha Mountain is worth five stars. First of all, you can meet your fantasy of the desert. Secondly, you can challenge the mountain climbing. The scenery of the crescent spring on the top of the mountain is pleasant. There are off-road vehicles on the top of the mountain. You can choose a camel to walk a small loop line under the mountain. The filming rate of interesting scenery is basically full.
The camel walking in the desert is not full of sand, but an oasis in his heart. It is a unremitting effort, one step at a time, to the oasis of hope! #Dunhuang
Because the scenic spot is repairing the main road, it is really hindering the tour, destroying the overall tour feeling, and there are not many people. The so-called Crescent Spring is an artificial landscape, and suddenly there is a feeling of being pitted. Hey, camel traffic jam.
The experience is very good, secreted super dopamine, super happy! You need to buy a shoe cover before you go in, otherwise you will fill the sand. The camel must be ridden. It is very beautiful to experience the feeling of a desert boat on the top of the mountain to see the crescent moon spring. There can be a lot of flying in it, you can try it
The Crescent Spring Scenic Area of Mingsha Mountain is beautiful, and the beautiful Crescent Spring is between the two sand mountains. It is as clear as a mirror and very clear. Looking at Crescent Spring from a distance is really like a mirror in the sky and the eyes of the desert. The 110 yuan ticket is valid for three days. In order to enjoy the style of the thousand-year-old temple over and over again, enjoy the magnificent scenery of the desert lonely smoke and the sunset of the long river, I went to Crescent Spring for three consecutive evenings. From riding Luo to experience the boat in the desert, people feel the scenery of the Silk Road desert in the middle of the painting. Climb to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset, to the Crescent Pavilion and Crescent Spring close contact, the mood is comfortable, the healing department is very strong.
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.
The scenery of Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring is really beautiful! Crescent Spring is simply picturesque, with lush reeds on the side of the crescent-shaped lake, which is interesting to the quiet lake. Standing by the pavilion railings by the lake to watch the Crescent Spring, there are different scenery from climbing Mingsha Mountain to overlook the Crescent Spring, but they are all beautiful, really sighing about the creation of nature. Climbing Mingsha Mountain is also a pleasure. Climbing up the mountain ladder, looking back from time to time, taking a picture, I enjoy it. It is a scene to climb the top of the mountain. You can see the sand mountains continuous, the ridges are twisted and prominent, and they are very beautiful. Remember to prepare a shoe cover, otherwise the fine sand will enter the shoes. On May 18 and 19, tickets are free, so we can catch up, so lucky!
The sand is very comfortable. I climbed Mingsha Mountain twice in the morning and evening. It was very pleasant to lie on the sand slope. The breeze was blowing slowly. I watched the flow of people in and around Crescent Spring and Mingyue Pavilion, and the camel team not far away. It seemed to have a feeling of crossing. As night fell, the lights were on, and Crescent Spring and Mingyue Pavilion were lit. Although there was no companionship of Mingyue, the music under the sand slope mixed with the light of the mobile phone in the crowd made this ancient desert full of vitality.
