Han Great Wall Ruins
Most Great Wall sections built in the Han dynasty (202 BC–220 AD) has collapsed due to the endless wars or erosion. However, some Han Great Wall sections in Dunhuang are still 3 meters high and 1 meter across.
Mingsha Hill
The Mingsha Hill is renowned for its “Singing Sand”. When the sand on the hill is being blew by wind, the sound is like the sand is singing. Standing on the top of thill, tourists can have spectacular desert view.
Crescent Lake
The Crescent Lake looks like a crescent in a desert. That is why it is named Crescent Lake. Although the lake is surrounded by desert, it never dries up and is never buried by quicksand. There are dense reeds on the south bank of the lake.
Yadan National Geology Park
The Yadan National Geology Park consists of red gravels, rocks and soils. Lots of rocks look queer due to the erosion. Some soil terraces, with a height of over 20 meters, are the best place to shoot the breath-taking sceneries.
