Crescent-Moon Spring
The spring lies at the foot of the Mingsha Sand Dune and is named for its shape. It is about 100m long and 25m wide, and has fish and water weeds that are said to be good for the health. The area is often hit by windstorm, which drives up sand to shut out sun-light. Interestingly enough, however, for hundreds of years people have never seen the spring filled up with or covered by sand.
Baima Pagoda (White Horse Pagoda)
The Pagoda is within a small village called Baima Village, some 2 kilometers away from Dunhuang City. It was believed to be constructed in 382 AD by a great general to commemorate his beloved horse.
The 9 storeyed building is 12 meters high with a diameter of 7 meters. Every storey has its own feature and charm.
