鸣砂山

对于居住在南方的我，无论是北方的雪或大西北的沙漠，都有特别的向往。但是又是雪又是沙的鸣沙山，经历过一次你肯定终身难忘。零下30度，沙漠的黄沙，结成冰沙，想想寒风刺骨下还居住在这里的人们，特别是上学的孩子，心疼！

鸣沙山很壮观，让身处沿海的我们感受到沙漠的广袤无垠。门票还是很贵的而且也不是一票到底，私以为搞得那些滑沙的娱乐设施有点可惜这片广阔的天地了。

#西游记# 鸣砂山月牙泉。今天天气太给力了，随着本雨神的到来，沙漠里今天居然在下雨。。。

位于酒泉的鸣砂山，极细的黄砂遮天避日狂舞，在没有防护的情况下我这变焦头动弹不得。

这里价格是中国最大的骗局。那里全是玩沙地滑板的人,滑沙的人,骑骆驼的人和休闲车,真的一点可取之处都没有。如果你往西走1千米的话,你可以走进一座沙丘,在那里爬一下,周围也没什么游客,可以免费的看一下沙子随风而动的风景。

只能说：处处是风景，无一不风流。每一个凹起凸出的走势，配上那湛蓝的天空下排排骆驼的足迹，随便一张照片都可谓经典。怎一个美字可概括？

120的门票感觉真不值……滑沙什么的都要钱，那个滑翔更是但是去敦煌这又是必去景点之一只能还是推荐了景点一般管理也一般

鸣沙山附近就是月牙泉，听说敦煌市政府为维持月牙泉胜景，通了水管人工补水。爬鸣沙山一般在下午太阳快要落山时，可以避开炎热的阳光气温比较适宜。

The sand dunes are the highest I have ever seen, incredible sight! Since we were there in May, not too many tourists yet and not too hot. The view of the dunes in the evening and early morning was a sight to behold! The small moon shaped lake is unusual and a big surprise if you haven't seen it already in photos.

I highly recommend going with the camels. It's for under $20 USD. Then walk for a bit to see the Crescent Lake.

Visiting Mingsha Shan was the highlight of the trip. The dunes were something to beholdI was there around the third week of August and it was scorching hot. It is best to visit in the morning even though some guidebooks recommend an afternoon visit. I was not too adventurous to walk to the summit so I took the camel ride. It was killing two birds with one stone - an easy way to the summit as well as an experience of riding a camel. On your way up, do request your camel guide to take pictures of you on the camel. He or she will stop at some spots to take it for you. For RMB10 she snaps about 3 to 4 pictures for you on your camera. Bring a light long sleeve shirt, suntan lotion, hat and water.

always thought deserts are forlorn sandy places with only camels but this is an experience never to forget. Have climbed mountains, rocks but never a sand mountain and the incredible sight after you get on top of this is exhilarating. If not for the people and the noise it would not be an experience as the sheer joy of sharing the climb, helping each other and the orange sand boots does make it something special. Also the place is within reach for visitors unlike an Arabian desert as the visitors and the Chinese tourists are very friendly. The organizers of the place also deserve credit as it is a very safe place and well lit up after sunset.Cannot remember whether all those amenities such a s wheel chair access was available as I did not look for these in particular.

Multiple extra costs if you go with a tour. You don't need to hire the boots or the camels or the jeep or the quad bike. You can walk up the dunes without all the extra costs.Wear sandals with good soles. You'll pay if you want to slide down on a sledge and you won't hear the 'singing sounds' due to the raucous shrieks of all the other tourists. Go I early morning to minimize crowds.

As a 63 year old first time traveler to China I found the Mingsha Mountain, with its camel ride a wonderful expereince. Yes, there were some irritations, there were many people, as there are all over China, but over all it was fantastic. The end of the camel trek takes one to the Crescent Spring Oasis which is a marvel in itself. This was an unexpected break in a two week business trip, and I will be forever greatful to my hosts for taking me to Dunhuang.

入場料１５０元？を支払い、靴カバーを１５元で借りて砂漠に入る。ななんと、歩きにくい！！ラクダは行き１００元、往復１００元！なら往復だと思った。５頭編成で５人単位で出発！１０分～１５分で砂漠山の上に着いた。そこにはタイヤで滑るコーナー、砂の上を走る車！けど、私は帰りたかったので、ラクダの所に行ったら、出発時の５人揃わないと帰れないと言われた。結局、私だけ帰れないので、長く待った。
