Tucked away just six kilometers south of Dunhuang City in Gansu Province, northwest China, Crescent Lake (Yueya Spring) presents a stunning natural marvel. This crescent-shaped lake is a rare sight where water and desert coexist harmoniously, surrounded by the majestic Echoing-Sand Mountain.
The golden sands of the desert juxtapose beautifully against the serene blue waters of Crescent Lake, creating a breathtaking contrast that's completely Instagram-worthy! Whether you're a nature enthusiast or a traveler seeking unique destinations, this oasis promises unforgettable views and experiences.
Adding to the allure, the 6th Silk Road International Cultural Expo is happening in Dunhuang City from September 6-7. CGTN presents a series of livestreams, giving viewers around the world a chance to immerse themselves in the stunning beauty and cultural richness of Dunhuang.
