Singing-Sand Mountain & Crescent Lake, Dunhuang, China 敦煌鳴沙山, 月牙泉
Miles and miles of sand dunes with the 2,000-year Crescent Lake Oasis just outside of Dunhuang in far-western Gansu Province, China, an important city on the ancient Silk Road. These sand dunes are known to sing (a low-pitched droning or booming sound) under certain conditions, a natural phenomenon.
The Singing-Sand mountain / La montagne aux sables chantants ( Dunhuang - Gansu - China)
(EN) Dunhuang (Dūnhuáng in ancient times meaning 'Blazing Beacon') is a county-level city (pop. 187,578 (2000)) in northwestern Gansu province, Western China. It was a major stop on the ancient Silk Road and is best known for the nearby Dunhuang Caves. It has also been known at times as Shāzhōu (沙州), or 'City of Sands', or Dukhan as the Turkis call it.
Dunhuang is situated in a rich oasis containing Crescent Lake and Mingsha Shan (鸣沙山, meaning Singing-Sand Mountain), named after the sound of the wind whipping off the dunes, the singing sand phenomenon. Dunhuang commands a strategic position at the crossroads of the ancient Southern Silk Route and the main road leading from India via Lhasa to Mongolia and Southern Siberia,[1] as well as controlling the entrance to the narrow Hexi Corridor, which led straight to the heart of the north Chinese plains and the ancient capitals of Chang'an (today known as Xi'an) and Luoyang.
Administratively, the county-level city of Dunhuang is part of the prefecture-level city of Jiuquan.

[한국어 정보]
중국과 중앙아시아를 잇는 실크로드의 관문인 둔황. 도시가까이 사막이 있어 오아시스 도시로 불리는 둔황은 내몽골과 더불어 황사의 발원지라고 한다. 둔황에서 먼저 찾은 곳 명사산이다. 모래가 바람에 굴러다니며 나는 소리가 울음소리 같다 해서 이름 지어진 명사산은 많은 사람이 찾는 둔황의 주요명소이다. 하늘에 패러글라이딩이 날고 땅에서는 4륜 오토바이 체험을 할 수 있다. 짜릿한 사막 썰매는 그냥 몸을 맡기기만 하면 된다. 그리고 많은 사람들이 사진을 찍어 추억으로 남긴다. 명사산에서 낙타타기 체험은 빼놓을 수 없다. 천 년 전 낙타를 타고 사막을 횡단하던 실크로드의 상인들을 대신해 지금은 관광객들이 낙타를 탄다.
