The magical Mingsha Mountain 10, the beautiful Mingsha Mountain

Mingsha Mountain is a tourist attraction on the edge of Dunhuang, famous for its sandy mountains.

This summer, my parents and I finally came to Mingsha Mountain, which I had been thinking about day and night. As soon as you enter, you will suddenly see a beautiful picture of yellow sand dunes one after another.

As far as the eye can see, in a large area of yellow in the distance, occasionally a few camels walk unhurriedly in the wind and sand, and suddenly a gust of wind sweeps over, and the wind blows the sand in the face, and the face hurts. The sight of flying sand and rocks is truly spectacular, as if you are in the middle of a real desert.

After climbing over several large sand mountains, you will come to the most famous place here--- Crescent Spring. It is amazing that the spring in the desert collapsed three times and was surrounded by sand on this side, but it was not quickly buried by the remaining sand. It was getting late, and I was lucky enough to see the sunset over the desert.

The afterglow of the sun sprinkled patches of golden light on the earth, and the sky and the desert seemed to be connected into a golden one, which was refreshing, and this was probably the most beautiful time in the Mingsha Mountain. Slowly, the sun's rays dimmed, and as if reluctant to do so, it sprinkled its last rays on the ground, and then gently disappeared behind the sand dunes, slowly disappearing from my sight. After a while, even the last rays of light on the desert faded, and everything was silent and dark.

It was one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen and one I'll never forget.

The beauty of Mingsha Mountain, the beauty of the wind of Mingsha Mountain, the beauty of the water of Mingsha Mountain, and the sunset of Mingsha Mountain are even more beautiful.

In the desert or sand dunes, due to the influence of various climatic and geographical factors, the fine sand grains dominated by quartz are caused by the wind and vibration, the sand slides or moves with each other, and many sand particles rotate in the air current, causing the surface to be hollow"Empty bamboo ridge bucket preparation"The place where the effect occurs is called the Singing Sands.
