When you come to Dunhuang, you have to go to the Mogao Grottoes. And one of the must see Mogao Grottoes - the third floor.
There are clearly visible color murals on the walls outside the building, and a tall Buddha statue is in the building. The third floor is a wooden structure building. The color painted on the building body has been stained with the imprint of time. The old one is very delicious.
If the three storey building can let you enjoy the unique and wonderful murals, the nine storey building is not only the most colorful place in Mogao Grottoes, but also the representative building of Mogao Grottoes.
Clock in on the ninth floor
Different from other places we see, this building has a short history. The nine storey building was built during the period of the Republic of China, and now the red cornice was reinforced and repaired in the 1980s.
Then the little friends came to Yumen pass. Yumen pass is located at the westernmost end of Hexi corridor. Nowadays, the impression of the world on Yumen pass comes from Wang Zhihuan's sentence "the spring breeze does not pass Yumen pass", which has been spread for thousands of years. It is a foreign land outside the pass.
Yadan | Yadan devil city with wind erosion for thousands of years
If Jiayuguan in Mogao Grottoes is a human history, then the magical geological landform in Northwest China is a masterpiece left by nature. My friends came to Dunhuang World Geopark to see this amazing workmanship.
Yadan landform is a typical wind erosion landform. Different from Danxia landform, Yadan landform is formed by wind blowing and eroding the lacustrine deposit (the soil layer accumulated by dried lakes) or alluvial plain in arid areas.
Some landforms look like ancient castles. Coupled with the vast Gobi, the traffic is difficult and inconvenient. There are not many people who know this place. Occasionally, intruders can't turn out for a long time. Moreover, the bursts of strange screams when the wind blows past make the entrants afraid, and the devil city spread quietly.
There is no tree, no grass, and no trace of green. Under the continuous erosion of thousands of years of strong wind, the lower parts of mounds and hills are eroded by strong wind, forming a fragmented concave ridge and groove on the ground.
Mingsha mountain listens to the jingle of camel bells to find the dew in the desert
Palladium handsome male model town building! ▲
On the day when we came to Mingsha mountain, the sky was blue and the wind was strong. In front of us were continuous sand dunes, extending to the end of our sight.
在重重疊疊的沙漠中,有一(yī)汪月(yuè)牙形的泉水(shuǐ),隻要登上(shàng)沙漠的頂端,就(jiù)可以看(kàn)到(dào)月(yuè)牙泉的全貌。
In the overlapping desert, there is a crescent shaped spring. As long as you climb the top of the desert, you can see the full picture of the crescent spring.
Mingsha mountain and crescent moon spring are mythical places in the hearts of children. The clear spring surrounded by Sand Mountain is incredible, but it really exists in this land of Dunhuang.
For those who play coffee, it's not enough to just sigh about the magic of nature. They have to experience it personally. The most interesting thing is riding camels.
