Dunhuang Crescent Moon Spring
Singing Sand Dunes and Crescent Lake have long been known as a “desert wonder” and is one of the highlights of Dunhuang where sand dunes and springs coexist.
The Crescent Lake peacefully exists among these sand dunes.
Due to the terrain, when the wind blows, the sand does not flow down the mountain, but rather flows up the mountain, so the Crescent Lake is never buried by sand and is known as the “eye of the desert.”
