To come to the Mingsha Mountain and experience camel riding on the sand dunes is essential. The camel caravan winds its way on the yellow desert sand, creating a unique flavor.
Mingsha Mountain is named after the sound of sand. There is a beautiful lake surrounded by sand dunes. From there, you can overlook the famous Crescent Spring, which looks like a crescent moon.
Dunhuang Yardang National Geopark
Under the night sky, Yardang appears with a strong wind howling, sounding like a roar, making people shudder. It is named "Devil City" because of this. It is rare to see plants here; everywhere is filled with gray and black sand and bizarre-shaped reddish-brown mounds shaped by wind and sand. The most spectacular is the "Western Fleet," where dozens of long soil terraces stretch for miles, resembling a fleet sailing through the sandy sea, magnificent and magnificent. The sunset in Devil City is the most beautiful, and Devil City illuminated by the evening glow is exquisite and grand.
After enjoying the beauty of the day, we went to the night market. The first goal, of course, was to taste authentic Dunhuang cuisine. Donkey meat noodles, fish roe, stewed mutton, and cold noodles are among the unique Dunhuang dishes that can be found everywhere in the night market. Among them, various barbecues are the most authentic and not to be missed. In addition, you can find everything from food to decorations at the night market, so if you want to bring back some souvenirs, you can also come here for a stroll.
The Dunhuang is seen again
Address: On the west side of Mogao Caves Digital Center, there is the Dunhuang Theater. Dunhuang is both a tourist destination and a historical city. Here, besides enjoying the desert scenery, you can also understand the history of Dunhuang through wonderful performances. "Encountering Dunhuang Again" tells the touching stories of historical figures who have had a significant impact on Dunhuang, such as Zhang Qian, Princess Worry-Free, Xuanzang, and Wang Yuanzhen, who discovered the Dunhuang Grottoes, taking us back to thousands of years ago.
