Personally feel that to see the desert in Gansu personally feel that going to Mingsha Mountain is the best choice, Mingsha Mountain is named because of the sand movement, the mountain is quicksand accumulation. The train from Lanzhou to Dunhuang is three times a day. It is difficult to buy tickets in peak season. It is recommended to go to Jiayuguan first. You can take the train or take the car from Jiayuguan. No matter what attractions you plan in Dunhuang, you have to arrange at least 2 days to visit. Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring are a scenic spot, only 10 kilometers away from Dunhuang City. In Dunhuang City, take the 3 bus all the way south, and the rolling sand mountains on both sides are faintly visible. Because the sunshine here is very strong, the ultraviolet rays are strong, there is no obstruction around the Mingsha Mountain Scenic Area, especially the whole sand mountain is very hot in summer, so it is best to arrange to play in the sunset to the evening, hats, sunglasses, gauze, etc. must be carried well. Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Area sell tickets for 120 yuan, and it is recommended to rent sand-proof shoe covers in the scenic area, which is better to walk. There are many amusement projects in the scenic area. It is good to ride camels and sandboarding. The price of camels is generally 100 yuan and sandboarding is 15 yuan. You can bargain with the boss, especially when there are many people. Even if you are alone, you can pull the tourists team on the side to bargain. You can queue up to buy a camel ticket when you enter the scenic spot, 100 yuan per person, but you have to queue for an hour, you can ride a camel on Mingsha Mountain, the camel is tied with a rope, very docile.
