To come, finally went to Dunhuang, a city I have a dream: that beautiful murals, long history. . .
Our line of seven points in Dunhuang accompany the line, can be considered the beginning of our journey west. After a full 40 hours after the train trip, everyone's mood in the last set foot on the land when the dream began to become excited. So we quickly find a hotel. Dunhuang has indeed become very commercialized, and people coming to us prior to set the hotel, but we decided to look for Zaiqu. Very soon we are on the predecessors travels frequently appears in the front of the station at the crossroads among the edges to find a relatively inexpensive hotel ------ Dunhuang widely Yiyuan Hotel. We lay down their bags large and small, began our first destination for westbound ----- Mogao Grottoes.
We found a small plane, driving a black girl, a silver tongue, our way into the Mogao Grottoes. The houses along the road are very low, mostly bungalows, strangely enough, is the roof, even in the wall will be erected on a small number of half a meter high columns, like chimneys, but do not like, should not have that much. Finally to the Mogao Caves, Mogao Grottoes had just been showing off its majestic momentum, the front of the foot has a football field-sized plaza, silhouetted against a tall tower not far away. The protection and maintenance of Mogao Grottoes, there is no hint of the deterioration of the desolate landscape. Cave at the top by setting up a channel connecting the cave; installed ventilation dark of the cave to protect screen door and wall paintings; set up numerous protective emblem and so forth. Therefore, the whole is no longer as the Mogao Grottoes in a hill, and, as is a building specially. 80 tickets for opening up the 13 caves. National Day we went to a time when the peak of the Mogao Caves tour guides also changed the way their tour guide is no longer travels in the past, as written by a tour guide, as with a team, Eurya a bunch of keys, visited an open one, see End immediately locked, but inside each cave has a guide Zuoshou the door one managed to go into more than ten people each, so if you think again unfulfilling can re-enter. Cave Village is very dark, be sure to carry flashlight. Lifelike murals, but the original multi-purpose stone color, day old day long, whether beautiful or handsome guy, have become a black-Bao. The deepest feeling is that the passage of time, almost all of the cave where there will be open at least two dynasties of the Western blot, and some even three, four dynasties left behind their ink. Pink color of the Department of the Tang Dynasty more than partial, after all, how much light can use stone colors. Song, Yuan, see the color has been plentiful, but the Qing dynasty even more dazzlingly beautiful. In contrast, in the Tang Dynasty in just a few of the color contrast is not so clear-cut even be able to portray such a vivid image of the pattern design is less detailed and more worthy of praise. Hate only their own untimely Should the he was born in the Tang Dynasty, would it not also a beautiful one, but also do not have all day struggling to lose weight.
Go to Mingsha, Crescent Moon Spring and the (student ticket 25 yuan). Tian Zhen is the Crescent Moon Spring has always been my favorite, just as we went to Dunhuang station, the train is placed on this song. We rode a camel, a chain camel who has been persuaded that we will add some money around to our way Mingsha up, this time we know that the money was originally just spent 30 to the Crescent Moon Spring. But come is to climb Mount Mingsha's. Otherwise, how can appreciate Mr. Yu Qiuyu said, "get on the Sand Hills is a extremely hard servitude"? Camel is a pleasant thing, as the camel's footsteps up and down bumps, all the way Camel jingle. A companion masked by a scarf, passers-by to keep looking back, known as masked heroes, but we think she like Alibaba bride. The sun was setting fast, we must get to the top of her before the downhill. Fast, and the Sunset than speed. Who knows really just step on one foot, slightly forced, foot on the loosely down, forced the larger the settlement the more profound the more severe decline. However, all ramped up its breath Chong, Mingsha soft sand, enough to Zhuang out the bold, fall down side? Finally climb to the summit, standing at the Peak to see the sunset, the mountainside eyeful of yellow sand, silhouetted against the setting sun are no longer soft and very red, but the color is golden. Are surrounded by sand hills, obviously with the visitors to climb the loose sand-boarding down constantly, but their remarkable grace, the curve clearly. That is not the old Crescent Moon corner to snuggle in the sand hills, gentle embrace, seemed quiet, beautiful.
