Which city is Crescent Moon Spring located in? Come and have a look.

1, Crescent Spring is located at the northern foot of Mingsha Mountain, 5 kilometers southwest of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province.

2. Crescent Spring surrounds Mingsha Mountain and is named after a crescent moon. In ancient times, it was called Shajing, also known as Yaoquan, which was misrepresented as Wowachi, and was called Crescent Spring in Qing Dynasty. The water quality is sweet and clear as a mirror, which has lasted for a long time since ancient times. Sand does not enter the spring and water does not dry up. The iron fish drum waves, the star grass contains awns, and the water is quiet and the moon is printed, so it is called "Yue Quan Che Xiao". Shaling Qing and Yue Quan Qing are one of the eight scenic spots in Dunhuang.

3. Potamogeton and Charophyta grow in the crescent spring, with dense reeds and quicksand on the south bank. Although spring is not covered with sand in the case of strong wind. Because "the spring reflects the moon without dust" and "the ancient sand does not fill the spring, and the spring does not wither", it has become a great spectacle. Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring are twin sisters in the desert Gobi. "The mountain is famous for its spirit, and the water is beautiful with spirit". There is a feeling that "the sound of sand is sweet and the crescent spring washes the heart".
