Today we are going to talk about the famous Crescent Moon Spring in Mingsha Mountain. There are many desert activities, such as desert motorcycles, helicopters, and camel riding. You choose what you want to play, pay the corresponding fee. Crescent Moon Spring is one of the scenic spots. It is about 100 meters long from north to south, 25 meters wide from east to west, deep in the east and shallow in the west, and the deepest point is about 5 meters. It is curved like a crescent moon, hence its name. It is a wonder in the vast desert and an oasis in the desert.
One morning in August this year, we took a tourist bus from the city to the scenic spot, which took ten minutes. A group of people got off the bus and gathered at the entrance of the scenic spot under the guidance of the small flag in the hand of the tour guide. After getting the tickets, they entered the scenic spot one after another. When everyone saw the largest herd of camels in China, they all rushed to take photos with the camels.
Before entering the attraction, the tour guide gave everyone a number. According to the number in his hand, a dedicated person led him to the corresponding camel team. There are five camels in a group, tied with ropes in front and back, and the camels are pedaling on the ground. When we went up to sit down, the camel worker shouted and the five camels stood up in unison. The moment I got up, I felt as if I had returned to the feeling of riding an electric horse when I was a child. Under the guidance of the camel driver, the camels followed the camel team all the way.
The camels were walking hard on the sand dunes, and the sun was scorching the earth. We were all prepared for sun protection. Although we still felt hot, our hearts were full of happiness and expectation. In the distance, a flash of green appeared. The camel seemed to know our thoughts, and quickened its pace, and came to the dense forest, where it saw thousand-year-old trees and a crescent moon, which was the Crescent Moon Spring.
Crescent Moon Spring is one of Dunhuang’s outstanding natural landscapes. It has been famous all over the world (desert wonder) since ancient times and is known as (one of the most beautiful sights outside the Great Wall).
At the same time, it also reflects on a question for mankind. Will Crescent Moon Spring completely disappear in the desert?
