Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring Scenic Spot - China

An aerial drone photo shows the mingsha mountain and crescent spring scenic spot in Dunhuang, northwest China's Gansu Province, Nov. 23, 2024. Around 2,000 years ago, Dunhuang was a key hub on the ancient Silk Road. Chinese silk and tea passed through this gateway en route to other countries, while agricultural products such as grapes, carrots and pomegranates made their way into China. Known for its breathtaking landscapes and historical significance, Dunhuang holds a treasure trove of ancient Buddhist relics and art. In recent years, Dunhuang has leveraged its cultural tourism resources and vigorously attracted visitors and scholars from around the world who are keen to delve into its historical significance and witness its modern cultural revival. Once served for thousands of years as a meeting point of the East and the West along the ancient Silk Road, Dunhuang has now revived to embrace new development.
