Mingsha mountain is a national key tourist scenic spot, located in the northwest of China and 5 kilometers south of Dunhuang city. It is a magical and magnificent tourist attraction on the silk road. Mingsha mountain and sand peak rise and fall. The mountain "winds like a dragon", with golden light, just like a golden mountain. From Dunhuang city to the south, you can see the rolling Mingsha mountain of Dunhuang, the famous tourist attraction of Gansu in the East - Mogao Grottoes in the northwest, the Pearl of Dunhuang, stretching 40 kilometers to danghekou in the west, 20 kilometers wide in the north and south, about 100 meters high, and 1715 meters high. At 1650 meters above sea level, it looks like two sand arms stretching out to enclose the crescent spring. Mingsha mountain and Yueya spring in Dunhuang are twin sisters in the desert Gobi. "Mountains sing because of their spirit, and waters sing because of their spirit.". There are different shapes of sand mountains: some are like the moon buds, some are like pyramids, some are like fish scales, and the hills are connected in order. Yueya spring is surrounded by Mingsha mountain, about 150 meters long and 50 meters wide. It is named because the water looks like a crescent moon. The source of Yueya spring is Danghe river. It is amazing that the spring water is clear and bright, and has not dried up for thousands of years.
