Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Winter Snow Scenery Spectacle

Recently, Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring have presented a magnificent winter scene. The swirling snow drapes the desert in silver, creating a stunning "sand and snow coexistence" landscape. Under the clear blue sky, the white snow and yellow sand complement each other, sketching a natural ink and wash painting. Visitors stroll through, marveling continuously, either taking photos or gently touching the snow on the sand, experiencing the unique charm of desert snow scenery. When the sky clears and the warm sun shines, golden rays penetrate the sand dunes, reflecting on the surface of Crescent Spring, creating the rare sight of a "big crescent embracing a small crescent." The spring surface glistens, harmonizing with the sand dunes, like a dreamy fairy tale world. Scenic area staff respond swiftly to the snow, quickly sweeping snow and removing ice. Busy figures can be seen everywhere at the mountain gate plaza and walking trails, working together to clear safe and smooth paths for visitors. In addition, Dunhuang City's eight winter and spring tourism discount policies have been launched this month. Come to Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring to encounter the "sand and snow coexistence" wonder, enjoy thoughtful service, and start an unforgettable winter romantic journey!
