Is there a camel riding in Dunhuang?

There are camels riding in Crescent Spring of Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang.

At the end of July, the golden sand dunes were scorched by the sun in the crescent spring of Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang, and camel teams carrying tourists were in an endless stream. The camel riding project in Mingsha Mountain has appeared since the scenic spot was just developed in the 1980s. At first, several villagers near the scenic spot saw the business opportunities, raised and trained less than 100 camels and brought them to the scenic spot to attract customers. Later, more and more villagers began to do this business.

There are 1700 camels in the scenic spot to provide services for tourists, and each camel pulls 6 or 7 tourists every day on average. In midsummer, camel households enjoy the cool and sweep the dust for camels every day. "Compared with tourists, we are more distressed by camels." The scenic spot has set up traffic lights on the route where camels walk, which limits the flow of tickets. Sell 12000 tickets for camel riding every day.
