Mingsha Shan

This mountain is 20 km wide and stretches 40 km from east to west and is completely covered by sand. It is the sand dunes of the Gobi Desert.

The highlight here is the camel ride up to the dune



We camel up the dune in a single file













The sand dune can reach a height of 250 m





We were here on 21/8/12




It is said that when the wind blows, the shifting sand will produce an echoing sound. But with the number of people there, we didn't think we could hear a thing.
