Mingshashan cause

Mingsha Mountain, as its name implies, is a noisy mountain, and it is also famous at home and abroad for the sound of sand. Its magic comes from two ways of singing. One way is "the sky sings itself", that is, when the weather is clear, even if there is no wind, its mountains will emit the sound of bamboo strings, which can be heard dozens of miles away and in Dunhuang city.

The other is "harmony with people". This is when someone climbs down the mountain, the mountain will make a buzzing sound, sometimes like thunder or drums, rumbling; Sometimes it's like beautiful music. In the literature of different historical periods, there are records of the ringing of Mingsha Mountain. According to many on-site monitoring, the maximum volume can reach 83 decibels.

Mingsha Mountain was formed under the action of the wind, and countless yellow sands gathered here with the wind, forming Shashan Mountain. The most recognized reason is that the valleys between the peaks form a natural "* * * ringing box" structure, and the friction or discharge when the sand falls causes * * * vibration, which forms a "sand ringing" effect through the amplification of the * * * ringing box.

Geographical location:

Barkol Mingsha Mountain is located in Barkol Kazak Autonomous County, Xinjiang, 60 kilometers away from the county seat, surrounded by green grass, just like a golden island in the blue sea. Mingsha Mountain is shaped like a mushroom, about 100 meters high, with steep sand dunes, water springs at the foot and rivers on the left and right sides.

There is a vast grassland around the sand mountain, and a barren sand mountain stands in the endless wet green. Its charm lies in that the sand accumulated here for hundreds of years has experienced numerous storms and has not spread everywhere.

Not swallowed up by green vegetation, the sand will slowly climb up automatically after being trampled by people climbing the sand mountain from the top of the mountain. There are many theories about the formation of Mingsha Mountain, among which there is a beautiful legend about the formation of Mingsha Mountain.
