The lake, between large sand dunes, is formed by spring water. The dunes of Mingshashan form a spectacle that should not be missed.

Fascinating knowledge that this gem in its setting of dunes to warm colours is such as Marco Polo it saw, in the heart of these very large dunes, it is therefore for centuries, never drying or to be buried. The sand tumbles down the day went on the dunes night, by the force of the wind...
A harmonious and magical place.
Do not miss the pleasure by a ride on camel near this site!
