The size of the grottoes is different, the statues are of different heights, the big ones are majestic and vigorous, the small ones are delicate and exquisite, and the profoundness of their attainments and the richness of their imagination are very amazing.

In ancient times, Mingsha Mountain was called Shensha Mountain and Shajiao Mountain. The whole mountain is made of sand, about 40 kilometers long from east to west, 20 kilometers wide from north to south, dozens of meters high, and the mountain peaks are steep, like a knife edge. There is a moist layer of sand under the dune, and the wind blows the sand grains and vibrates, and the sound can cause the resonance of the sand layer, hence the name. According to the historical records, when the weather is fine, even if the wind stops and the sand is quiet, it will emit the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra, just like playing music, so "the sand ridge is clear" is a scene in Dunhuang. This is a kind of wonder in the natural phenomenon, known as the "desert wonder" throughout the ages, and is known as "one of the best scenery outside the Sai".

Crescent spring is under Mingsha Mountain, called Shajing in ancient times, commonly known as medicine spring, there are many medicinal materials such as Luobuma and wolfberry in the spring, since the Han Dynasty, it is one of the "Eight Views of Dunhuang", and it is named "Yuequan Xiaoche". The crescent moon spring is nearly 100 meters long from north to south, about 25 meters wide from east to west, the spring water is deep in the east and shallow in the west, the deepest part is about 5 meters, bent like a crescent moon, so it is named, and it is called "the first spring in the desert". There are four strange crescent springs: the shape of the crescent moon is like the old through the ages, the place of bad conditions is clear and becomes a spring, the sand mountain is not drowned in the sand, and the old fish in the ancient pond are not old.

The Yadan landform distribution area is 10 kilometers long and wide, and the mounds are tall, mostly 10~20 meters, and 200~300 meters long. The place name also known as Sanlongsha was first seen in the Han Dynasty, located outside the ancient Yumen Pass, and the northern route of the Silk Road passed through. Sanlong Shayadan landform, its direction is perpendicular to the prevailing northwest wind direction, and consistent with the direction of the mountain flood flow, because of its strange characteristics, so there is a devil city.

The architectural style of the ancient city of Dunhuang has a strong western style, the city opens the east, west and south gates, and the city tower is towering; the city is composed of five main streets, Gaochang, Dunhuang, Ganzhou, Xingqing and Bianliang, and the two sides of the street are equipped with Buddhist temples, pawnshops, warehouses, wine shops, residences, etc. Yangguan opened up Hexi for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, one of the two passes of "four counties, according to two passes", since ancient times, it is the Silk Road west out of Dunhuang, the must pass through the southern road of the Western Regions, and the gateway of the western border. "Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow-colored. persuade the gentleman to drink a glass of wine, and there is no one in Yangguan in the west", which makes Yangguan famous through the ages.

Yumen Pass, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the road to the Western Regions and set up the four counties of Hexi, was named after the Western Regions when they imported jade. In the Han Dynasty, it was the gateway to all parts of the Western Regions, so the site was in the small square city in the northwest of Dunhuang, Gansu Province. Yuan Ding or Yuan Fengzhong (116 BC-105 BC) built the Great Wall between Jiuquan and Yumen, and Yumen Pass was established.

According to the Hanshu Geographical Chronicles, Yumen Pass and Yangguan, another important pass, are both located in Longle County, Dunhuang County, and are both places of governorship and important garrisons. At that time, the Central Plains and the Western Regions were indispensable for traffic through two passes, which were important military passes and Silk Road traffic arteries during the Han Dynasty.

Sanwei Mountain and Mogao Grottoes are related to Buddha and reflect each other, forming a landscape featuring Buddhist culture on the Silk Road. Its "three peaks are towering, such as danger and want to fall, so the clouds are three dangers". Sanwei Mountain is also called Beiyu Mountain, Shenyu Mountain in ancient times, from the Dunhuang oasis, the hidden three peaks are worshipped, such as the danger of falling, and get the name of Sanwei.

Someone wrote a poem praising it:

Two levels of ruins

Yangguan and Yuguan in the west, the ancient road traces of Khotan still exist. I once saw that Dingyuan had successfully returned, and he had sent the Huns to run.

On this day, the song passed three times, and the land was Wanjuntun that year. One side is in control of the present, and several degrees of spring breeze Xu and so on.

The South Mountain of the Thousand Buddha Spirit Rock is full of smoke and smoke, and the scenery of the Stone Cave Ridge is secluded. The ancient Buddha is solemn and disguised, and the remnants of the monument have been eroded several times.

Rubbing copper Dikong reminisces, and the vicissitudes of experience are left to stay. Yusai was originally a country of Tianzhu, and there was no need to sail to Yingzhou.

The dangerous peak stands in the east between the three peaks and the blue and the Han, and the snow meets the Tianshan Mountain. The morning dawn is as high as a palm, and the twilight is slightly green and green.

It is empty and towering, and several times I want to climb by looking at it. The left side of the parking lane is overturned, and the clouds are unintentionally out of the road.

The Dang River flows north and divides the water into ten canals, and the irrigation end is established at the beginning of summer. Do not let the north flow often inject into the sea, and the phase period of the east is a pool.

The waves are shallow, and the shadows of the two-star flat row trees are sparse. I love the scenery of spring and the fresh fish after the cold hydrolysis.

The moon spring is clear and clear, and the Wuwa is still well-known in the past. A bay is like the beginning of the moon, and half of the wall is clear.

The wind and sand will not be reached, and the abyss and water will grow together. Try your best to play by the pavilion and smoke the fragrance of tea.

The ancient city overlooks the pheasant moat at night and reflects the sunset, and the west of the city is originally ancient Dunhuang. Hazelnut has been made today, and He Huang is sick for his homeland.

The most enviable three autumns are in the color of the sun, and there are still four counties and towns in Yanjiang. Idle to look at the deserted suburbs, a gust of breeze and the fragrance of late rice.

The embroidered soil is surrounded by embroidered soil clusters around spring ploughing, and the emerald tiles are new everywhere. The wind and eyes in the south are all over the place, and the west is warm and green.

The old farmer leans on the side of the field with a cane, and the child stands on the waterfront with a hoe. I hope that the chief will be diligent in taking care of the words, and the people will be happy in the harvest year.

Shaling Qingming Shazhou has been a famous area since ancient times, and the place seems to be a good message. The thunder sent the aftermath to listen to the curling, and the wind whispered.

Such as the mountain is full of thousands of feet high, reflecting the sun's eyes through the six corners. Ingenuity relies on manpower, and the sound can make it in Sisu.
