Dunhuang received 110,000 tourists in three days during the National Day holiday. Are the camels tired again?

According to statistics from the Tourism Bureau of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province, from October 1 to October 3 this year, Dunhuang City received 110,700 tourists, of which 51,485 were at the Mogao Grottoes; Mingsha Mountain Crescent Lake Scenic Area received 65,386 tourists; Yadan Scenic Area received 10,787 tourists; Yangguan Scenic Area received 8,924 tourists.

Among the tourist attractions in Dunhuang, Mogao Grottoes, Crescent Moon Spring, Mingsha Mountain, Yadan and Yumen Pass are all very popular. Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Spring are even more popular among tourists. Here they can experience different desert scenery. Riding a camel in the desert has become a special and popular item here.

As the saying goes, National Day must be jammed on the road. Well, it is true, but the traffic jam here is not traffic, but camels...

However, apart from such spectacular scenes, there are also some scenes that make some netizens can't help but worry.

Every tourist season, tourists ride camels, but the camels at Crescent Moon Spring in Mingsha Mountain are exhausted. Going back and forth several times a day, coupled with the hot and dry weather in the desert, the camels were extremely tired. When resting on the road, some camels were unwilling to stand up after lying down.

On July 24, 2017, Dunhuang, Gansu Province ushered in a tourism peak, and camel riding, a special tourism project in the Mingsha Mountain Scenic Area, was very popular. At present, there are 1,000 camels professionally serving tourists. They work non-stop from 5:30 to dark every day. One camel takes guests back and forth every day. However, it still cannot meet the needs of tens of thousands of tourists in the scenic spot who choose this tourism project every day. A tourist said that many camels fell down due to the influx of tourists. While the tourism industry is booming, we should also consider the feelings of animals.
