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. 🎒
