Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Ultimate Guide | Encounter the Desert Wonders|Mountains and Springs Coexist, Sand and Water Coexist

| Encounter the Desert Wonders|Mountains and Springs Coexist, Sand and Water Coexist.🎈Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring | Desert Wonders, Ultimate Journey💖 ✨Dunhuang, a mysterious and ancient city, is like a legendary book containing thousands of years of history and culture📚. Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring are the brilliant treasures jointly created by nature and human civilization.😍 🌄Mingsha Mountain is famous for the sound made by the moving sand. The undulating sand dunes, like golden waves, seem to be a magnificent painting drawn by nature🖼, taking you into a dreamy golden world.💛 Being there, you can almost hear the whispers of the desert and feel the magical charm of nature. 🌙Crescent Spring, like a crescent moon, gently nestles in the embrace of Mingsha Mountain. This clear spring, which has not dried up for thousands of years, brings vitality and hope to the vast desert, like a bright pearl embedded in the golden sea of sand.💎 Its existence is a gift from nature and a testament to human civilization. 🎟Ticket Information: Full-price ticket: 110 yuan per person. The ticket is valid for three days after purchase, and you can enter the park multiple times within three days with your ID card. Isn't that considerate😉? 🕰Opening Hours: The current opening hours are from 6:00 to 19:30. However, please note that the specific opening hours are subject to periodic updates by the scenic spot.😎 🗺Recommended Tour Route: Enter the scenic area from the middle gate, and you can choose to walk🚶‍♂️, take a sightseeing car🛺, or ride a camel🐫. Follow the signs through Ironback Fish Park and head towards Crescent Spring. Climb up Yuequan Pavilion, then ascend Mingsha Mountain to watch the sunset🌇, and then participate in the Starry Sky Concert, enjoying the atmosphere.🎤 ⏰Recommended Visiting Time: In summer, the sunset is late, so it is recommended to enter the park around 5 PM to perfectly avoid the hottest period of the desert.😎 The sunset is around 8 to 8:30 PM, so make sure to leave enough time to climb Mingsha Mountain and enjoy the mesmerizing sunset.🌅 The Starry Sky Concert starts at 21:00 and lasts for about 2 hours, with a great atmosphere. This event will last until October 10th, so don't miss it.💃🕺 💡Travel Tips: 👗Clothing Choice: In the desert, red, white, and other bright-colored clothes look great in photos.🥰 You can also rent a set of Feitian or Western Princess costumes to take stunning photos and become the most dazzling presence in the desert.👸 🌞The desert sun is strong, and UV radiation is intense, so always take sun protection measures. Bring sunscreen🧴, a sun hat👒, sunglasses🕶, and other gear to protect yourself. 💧Playing in the desert requires a lot of water, so stay hydrated. Bottled water costs 2 yuan outside the scenic area and 5 yuan at the foot of Mingsha Mountain inside the scenic area. There are no selling facilities on Mingsha Mountain, so the price is slightly higher because it is carried up by people.😜 🧗‍♀️When climbing the mountain, be sure to step on footprints, which is both labor-saving and safe. If there are many people climbing, don't rush, take a break every few steps, and don't overestimate your physical strength, as it is really tiring.😫 👟Shoe covers are unnecessary; crocs or sandals are enough.😎 🚌Transportation: It takes about 10 minutes to reach by taxi from the city center. You can also take bus No. 3 directly, with a fare of only 2 yuan. However, after the Starry Sky Concert, taxis and buses are crowded, so it is recommended to leave early. 💕Let's experience the grandeur of nature and encounter our own romantic journey in the vast desert of Dunhuang.💖
