Ever wondered what it’s like to surf a mountain of sand? In northwest China’s Gansu Province, thrill-seekers are racing down Mingsha Mountain on wooden sleds at speeds that’d make rollercoasters jealous!
This wild ‘sand sliding’ experience is part of the iconic Crescent Spring Scenic Area, where golden dunes hug a crystal-clear oasis in a mind-blowing natural paradox.
The action heated up during the 6th Silk Road International Cultural Expo (Sept 6-7), where global attendees explored Dunhuang City’s ancient trade route legacy. CGTN’s livestreams brought the desert’s singing sands and cultural treasures to screens worldwide – proving even 2,000-year-old history can trend in 2023!
Fun fact: Local guides say sliding down these dunes sounds like a symphony – nature’s own TikTok soundtrack! Whether you’re a #TravelTok creator or a history buff, this Silk Road gem belongs on your bucket list.
