Crescent Moon Spring and the Echoing Sand Dune in Dunhuang

Crescent Moon Spring, an oasis in the Gobi Desert, lies 6 km south of Dunhuang and is located between two large sand dunes that make up the famous Echoing Sand Dune. The spring's crescent moon shape gives it its name, and the pool is able to withstand the extreme dryness of the Gobi, refusing to dry up.
The Echoing Sand Dunes are famous for the echoing sounds the wind makes when blowing over the dunes. The dunes are quite large, some reaching 100 meters or more, but are relatively stable and keep their shape despite the fact that the dunes around the Echoing Sand Dunes shift frequently.
Here you can enjoy not only the rare view where an oasis meets the desert, but also some fun sand adventure. Participate in activities such as camel riding and "dune surfing". For a dramatic view of the exotic Gobi and the Crescent Moon Spring, climb to the top of the dune!
