Imagine a shimmering crescent of blue water cradled by golden desert dunes 🏜️—welcome to Crescent Lake (Yueya Spring), a natural wonder in China’s Gansu Province! 🌊 This ancient oasis, just outside Dunhuang, has defied the desert for over 2,000 years, creating a mesmerizing contrast between sand and spring. Locals say it’s like ‘finding a snowflake in hell’ ❄️🔥—but this iconic landmark is very real!
As the 6th Silk Road International Cultural Expo kicks off in Dunhuang (Sept 6-7), all eyes are on this historic hub of trade and culture. 🐫 CGTN’s livestreams are bringing viewers closer to the action, from the Echoing-Sand Mountain’s ‘singing dunes’ to vibrant cultural exchanges along the modern Silk Road.
Why young travelers care? 📸 Dunhuang isn’t just about history—it’s a hotspot for Instagram-worthy adventures! Think camel rides at sunset, stargazing in the Gobi Desert, and exploring nearby Mogao Caves’ Buddhist art. 🎨✨ Pro tip: Visit during the expo for fusion performances blending traditional and digital art!
