We had such a great time here. We booked the slot in the afternoon and it was great decision, it was enough time to wander around, take pictures and climb up the sand dune to watch the sunset and really cool laser show 🤩 highly recommend to stay a bit longer after the sunset for a better experience 👍

This is Bai Xin’s life and also the echo of Bai Xin’s life in the theme song of “Music of Dunhuang” “Young Man Under the Moon” when he was searching for his dream in Dunhuang. The soothing and powerful melody played by Bai Xin holding the pipa in the Sutra Cave and the interweaving of his fantastic life give people a sense of retro grandeur.

The biggest feature of Mingsha Mountain is the "sandming phenomenon". When tourists climb the sand mountain, their feet step on the sand, and the dunes will make a sound like strings. This sound is long and wonderful, as if it is a movement of nature. Scientific research shows that this phenomenon is related to the size, shape and arrangement of sand grains, and Dunhuang Mingsha Mountain has become one of the classic representative places of the "shaming" phenomenon because of its unique sand quality. Mingsha Mountain will have performances and fireworks. When the music starts to sound when the night falls, the fireworks are blooming. Lying on Mingsha Mountain, there are many stars that are invisible in the sky in many cities [scenery] [interesting]

The boss has a nice voice and is a handsome guy. He is the same in his work and life. He took us to ride a beach off-road motorcycle, which was so exciting. I like this kind of passion. The desert is endless and it feels so good to walk barefoot on the sand.

Jiuquan has had a spring since ancient times. It is said that when General Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty led his troops to conquer the Xiongnu, he poured the imperial wine into the spring after the victory and drank it with all the soldiers. This is the origin of the name Jiuquan. In fact, Jiuquan is a large park, but because of the Jiuquan spring, it has become a 4A-level scenic spot, which shows the importance of Jiuquan. There are also statues and poems of Li Bai lying drunk in the park, which are also the most famous poems related to Jiuquan. There are also children's playgrounds and restaurants and teahouses in the park. You can also go boating on the lake, which is also an important place for citizens to relax.
