1 min read

Echoing-Sand Mountain lies 5 kilometers south of Dunhuang.Made of sands，this mountain is 40 kilometers long，20 kilometers wide and 250 meters high.There are many colors of the sands，such as red，green，yellow，black，and white.Every time when a strong wind sweeps across the sands，the sands would roar like a thunder，but when there is a breeze，the sound would like musical instruments.It is the same when sliding down along the sands.And that’s the reason why the mountain gets its name.Besides that，there are plenty of leisurely activities，such as camel riding，sand surfing，and visits to the sand spa.
