Have been to the desert oasis of people know that life is like a sign. Dunhuang, the western end of the Hexi Corridor in northwest China's county-level city, is the mountains and deserts, the Gobi oasis surrounded by a small, naturally became the throat on the ancient Silk Road city. Dunhuang in 1986 by the State Council named as "China's historical and cultural city."
In Dunhuang we have only one day, so got off the plane in the afternoon, we will lose no time visiting the city of Dunhuang. Dunhuang is equivalent to our urban areas, a medium-sized towns in rural areas where commodities on the market are more diverse, but mainly do travel articles, the streets full of travel products, hotels, seven, eight as much. Due to climate reasons, Dunhuang one year only before the tourist season from June to October to do business, the other time to rest or to big cities to work, so that a certain extent, limit the city's development. Eat relatively cheap, the dual of money to eat a bowl of beef noodles you are breathless, hot too me, "Zhang Yan dance claws." There are fifty cents a pound plow, eight Mao pound of seedless grapes, I could not help but think of while eating the side of you from afar.
In the Dunhuang piece of magic land, since ancient times, old times, won the love of nature, creating a rare spectacle of a number of different rare scene. Dunhuang has a lot of history, cultural landscape, the most famous of which is to be included in the United Nations World Cultural Heritage Mogao Grottoes.
Mogao Caves also known as the Thousand Buddha Caves, located in 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang City, a large spring cr-ri, north and south is about 1600 meters. Former Qin Yuan was founded two years (AD 366), after 16 countries, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Xia, to the termination of the Yuan dynasty to create. Mogao Grottoes even after thousands of years of natural and man-made destruction, 492 caves still preserved, Jane kept murals more than 45,000 square meters, more than 2,400 painted sculptures body, is extremely rich, can be described as a profound breadth of the grand, is the world's largest existing , best-preserved set of buildings, sculptures, murals trinity of Buddhist art treasures.
Dunhuang dry climate almost all year round it does not rain. Unfortunately, we look at the plane it began to drizzle, the next day went so far as it began to rain heavily. On the Internet can meet you and I feel very lucky, but fortunately not always with me. Mogao Grottoes of my visitors from afar, or ruthlessly said "no." The Mogao Grottoes is said to weathering is very serious, in order to protect the world cultural heritage, during rainy days and closed the year 2005 will be fully closed to the Mogao Grottoes research purposes only. Next to the Mogao Grottoes, the Japanese government donation made most of the Dunhuang Academy has built, and we visited inside by a more than an imitation of the Mogao Grottoes sculptures, murals. We did not see more or less authentic expressed regret that the Mogao Grottoes and even "angry", but clearly a matter of fact we do not know my heart just to make fun arts and just pretend that Sven might as well go beyond that quickly leave to go to slip sand Mingsha bar.
Mingsha like a dragon, lying in the south of Dunhuang. From afar, the mountainous ups and downs, such as Daoxue ax, strange and beautiful scenery, magnificent. Mountains formed by the accumulation of sand, stretching over 40 kilometers and a maximum altitude of 1715 meters. In the human or wind-driven, containing quartz sand with each other static friction, electrostatic discharge that is audible, sound together, sound great thundering, Mingsha hence the name. Mingsha is the most fun place to Dunhuang, and good afternoon, the rain had stopped. To set foot on the Peak,可真不容易Although there is no climbing Mountain's breathtaking, but Goldenthal like mountains, difficult. Inspired by the endless sand, and further, back half a step, hands and feet had to climb. Posted only half of my colleagues in the middle of the platform on the rest, in order to be able to shoot back to a few good photos, I am a person with asthma blow braved the danger of wandering sand climbed the summit. Jimuyuantiao heaven and earth suddenly see the light, look closely and that the slopes of sand waves, such as light waves, undulating ripples, sometimes rapid, sometimes slow trickle, sometimes linger vortex is really Diego dang delivered, fun. Then there is the foot of Yihong sand springs, like a youthful girl, gentle to nestle in the embrace of lovers. Also the most interesting and thrilling downhill, sitting with bamboo custom skateboard Longitudinal fast, if not control the speed and maintain a living balance will roll down and three colleagues have turned two in the middle of the boat is really good embarrassed. I passed to the administrators learn to master the trick of them, but the heart still a little nervous, I get on skateboards, administrators threw in behind me a push, first thing that strikes Liang Lei wind, we saw sand waves rolling in, like mountain torrents pour down, as if Yuhuachengxian to get high, this time Dong Dongdong ears to hear the sound, it may be pounding on drums and butter, flute, Sheng, who is pondering moving soul frightens the infinite. When I slide into the sand hills at the foot smoothly when my colleagues said I was terrific.
Fire and water can not be compatible, desert springs difficult to co-exist. However, in Mingsha in, was able to see the desert and springs adjacent to accompany the spectacle, which is the world first spring Desert - Crescent Moon. Crescent Moon and more than 300 meters from east to west, north and south for more than 50 m wide, resembles a crescent-shaped spring, surrounded by towering sand hills. The magic is that it is quicksand landfill do not live forever springs. The embrace of the sand hill sit silently lay for thousands of years, though often subject to fierce winds hit the sand, but it is still rippling blue waves, the water gurgling sound, a well-deserved first desert spring, spring teeth inside the fish and flocks of shore, green grass grass. Fish reportedly referred to as "back iron fish", can heal Miscellaneous Diseases; grass called "Seven Star grass," there is birth aphrodisiac effect. It is said that eating fish and grass, you can live forever. Consequent, Crescent Lake, also known as "medicine spring." Crescent Moon side, there are stretches of poplar slim, poplar vitality can be seen in everywhere there is such a desolate scene, felt the magic of heaven and earth luck.
