Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake
鸣沙山月牙泉
Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring is located about 5 kilometers south of Dunhuang City. The sand mountains surround the crescent spring. The sand and springs have coexisted for thousands of years and are known as "the most beautiful scenery outside the Great Wall". The highlights are: Crescent Moon Spring: a crescent-shaped spring in the desert. The Yuequan Pavilion beside the spring stands next to the water, which is the soul of the scenic spot. Mingsha Mountain: Climb the sand mountain to the top for a panoramic view of the Crescent Spring, and watch the sunset in the desert in the evening. This is the best filming location.
