Attractions: Echoing Sand Mountain & Crescent Lake

Meal: Not Included

Drive to Dunhuang (360km, 4h). Visit the Echoing Sand mountains (Mingsha Mountain) and Crescent Lake. The sand mountain is a desert formed under the action of wind. The long yellow sand gathers here to form the sand mountain. The sand mountain will ring under the wind, so it gets its name. In the arms of the sand mountain, there is a crescent shaped lake, the lake grows beside the sand willow, populus euphrysalis, forming an oasis, here called "Crescent Lake". Crescent Lake is a small lake, the water is quite clear and blue. In full sunlight, the water glows with the pleasant colors of the garden. When winter comes, the lake of Crescent Spring freezes into a thick white ice, becoming a small ice rink, so that visitors can not only enjoy the beauty of the lake, but also experience the pleasure of the ice.

Overnight in Dunhuang.
