The next stop along the tour is Dunhuang 敦煌.
It was just a brief stop. We went to the sand dunes nearby, know as Mingshashan 鸣沙山 (sounding sand mountains) and Crescent Lake, or Yueyaquan 月牙泉. It was in the middle of a sandstorm, which is quite common in the area.
See how the sandstorm obscured the picture?
We even managed to catch a camel ride here. After the ride, we went back to the hotel in Dunhuang city, where we spent the night before proceeding on with the tour.
Next stop, Hami 哈密.
