What are the most profound impressions of climbing the Singing Sand Mountain in Dunhuang?

We temporarily changed the itinerary, passing through Cold Lake to Dunhuang, and decided to stay for two days.

Dunhuang gave my initial impression, described in images, roughly as a West Asian woman with her scarf partially covering her face, dancing in exotic styles,

Due to our late arrival in Dunhuang, the parking lot of the hotel was full of cars with various license plates, which was also a testament to Dunhuang's status as a tourist city. Perhaps because there was fierce competition between hotels, the hotel we booked also gave us a magic scarf as a gift, which was quite practical. On the one hand, the northwestern region has a lot of sand, and the magic scarf is good to wrap around the nose; on the other hand, the colors and styles are quite in tune with the atmosphere of Dunhuang, so I like it,

Dunhuang, this place has many labels, it is a node city of the Silk Road, known for 'Mogao Caves', 'Dunhuang murals', and is a world heritage site of the Mogao Caves and the Han Long Wall border Jade Gate, it is a historical and cultural city. Its location is unique, located at the westernmost end of the Hetao Corridor, at the intersection of Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang,

Tracing the origin of 'Dunhuang', it first appeared in 'Records of the Grand Historian' by Zhang Qian's report to Emperor Wu of Han, 'The Month People lived in Dunhuang and between the Qilian Mountains'. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, when the invaded the Hetao Corridor, the entire Hetao Corridor became the territory of the, known as 'thirty-five thousand men who played the string instrument'. After Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, he dispatched Zhang Qian to visit the West, to contact the Month People and the Uighurs to jointly attack the. In the second year of Emperor Wu's reign of Yuan Ding, Zhang Qian later made a second visit to the West, thus opening the Silk Road that is well known to this day.

The Silk Road started from Chang'an, passed through the Hetao Corridor to Dunhuang, then to Jade Gate and Long Wall, and finally along the northern route of Kunlun Mountain and the southern route of Tian Shan, divided into two routes. The southern route started from Dunhuang, went through Lou Lan, crossed the Tumu Mountain and reached Anshi, west to Qin (ancient Rome); the northern route started from Dunhuang, passed through Hotan, Kucha, Turquoise Tomb and the Tumu Ridge and reached the Great Qin (East Rome). During the Han and Tang Dynasties, a new route was opened along the northern slopes of Tian Shan, starting from Dunhuang, going through Hami, Barygufa Lake, across the Ili River, and reaching the Fluttering Country (East Rome). During the Han and Song Dynasties, the Silk Road was a transportation route to the West, although the starting point is the historical city of all the ancient capitals, Dunhuang was almost a vital route on the southern Silk Road, which also contributed to its status as a brilliant gem on the Silk Road,

Dunhuang has three dangerous mountains on the east, and the Ming Mountain on the south, and the desert and Lop Nur are connected on the west, and the remnant of the Tian Shan Mountains are connected on the north. Although the Silk Road has lost its original function with the development of technology and transportation tools today, Dunhuang has been preserved with historical and cultural inheritance and its unique geographical location, so it has become an important city for many tourist self-driving tours. In addition to driving their own cars to come, many people also take flights to Dunhuang and then rent a car for self-driving,

Because the tickets for Mogao Caves need to be booked a day in advance, we arrived at the Singing Sand Mountain in the morning of the first day in Dunhuang,

It is said that the Singing Sand Mountain has two peculiarities: if you slide from the top, the sand under your feet will make a humming sound; during the day, the footprints left by people on the Singing Sand Mountain will disappear without a trace the next day; if it is not for the accompanying sign, ordinary people will not be able to distinguish between two or three, so it is easy to miss several billions of historical heritage,

In order to prevent the sand from the Singing Sand Mountain, my wife prepared foot wraps early on. I doubted the effectiveness of this thing before departure, but it was actually quite effective. If you don't prepare it, it's okay; if you don't have it, you can rent it as you enter the venue, about 20-30 yuan,

Since we brought our own foot wraps, we avoided the trouble of queuing to rent, we took advantage of other tourists not arriving, we beat the door before anyone else arrived, and we 'shot',

Crossing the gate, this is the first time I and my wife stepped onto the desert, and we also got foot wraps here. Not long after we stepped into the sand, some tourists ignored the foot wraps and took off their shoes and socks to shake the sand. Some people even took off their shoes and socks and walked barefoot, but after walking for a while, they gave up because it was too cold. My wife walked with a confident pace, and someone asked, 'Miss, where did you rent your foot wraps?' My wife smiled confidently, 'We brought our own.' I followed up, playing the role of a human tripod and supporting some supplies,

Along the small path in the scenic area, my wife and I walked in the direction less crowded. The ruins on the left are beyond recognition, let alone describing it, because they have been weathered for a long time, only the remaining yellow earth tiles can be seen in the sand, if it is not for the accompanying sign, ordinary people will not be able to distinguish between two or three, so it is easy to miss several billions of historical heritage. The other side of the road leads to Moon Lake Spring, most tourists went to Moon Lake Spring,
