I just visited Crescent Moon Spring (or “Yue Ya Quan” in Chinese) here at Mingsha Shan (or “Echoing-Sand Mountain” in Chinese) & am now…………..

Yeah Yeah I know these Camel Droppings look real disgusting but still I’m showing u cos I think they’re real cool snapshots heheh!! Besides, how often do we get to see Camel’s Poo like these!!

Ahahha I really love this huge deserted Mingsha Shan (Echoing-Sand Mountain) & how much joy & loads of fun it’s brought me these few hours of Camel Riding & Sightseeing around this beautiful place!!

What a most wonderful tour of the Desert Oasis of Dunhung here along the Silk Road of China I just experienced!! And by now I’ve really fallen in love with Camels!!

Many of my Tour mates opted out of Camel Riding upon our arrival here at Mingsha Shan (Echoing-Sand Mountain), cos they were either afraid to ride them or think of them as real sticky & smelly animals! So they rode on these above Desert Buggies on tours around the Desert place (but not to the Peak of the Mountain!) & Crescent Moon Spring!

Yeah I do love riding Buggy, but I’d rather ride the Camels cos they’re such sweethearts & it was so fun & most enjoyable travelling on the Desert sands!!

Well, below are Portraits of Me Camel Riding at Mingsha Shan (Echoing-Sand Mountain) in Paper-formed Frames designed with numerous Places of Interests of Dunhuang – taken by the local Chinese Photographer, while we were Camel Riding to the Top of the Desert Mountain!

And here’s a Portrait of my Brother-in-law Ah Hia Camel Riding with Me behind him :

Here’s a large Black Marble Tablet with Chinese Inscriptions on the establishment of Mingsha Shan (Echoing-Sand Mountain) as a National Scenic Spot by the Chinese Government on the 10th of January, 1994 :

And just outside of Mingsha Shan (Echoing-Sand Mountain) are Souvenir Shops selling loads of Camels!!

Too bad I’ve got no time at all to shop here cos I was helping my Brother-in-law to choose his huge Camel – the exact same type just as the one I bought at Dunhuang Night Market (or “Shazhou Market“) last night!

But it’s ok, cos I’ve already got my most precious World Souvenirs from this wonderful Desert haven of Dunhuang - & they’re completely free at no cost at all to me heheh :

Heheh what rare Souvenirs I just got myself above!!

And not forgetting the Camel’s Hair which I plucked from my Camel during my last Camel Rides at Mingsha Shan (Echoing-Sand Mountain) – but strangely & very sadly, I actually lost it on the way back to the Hotel…………..guess it was meant not to leave its beautiful Desert home out there!!

Thanks so much to our 4th Auntie (whom we call “Si Kor” in dialect Hokkien), we get to taste & enjoy this so yummy yummy Chinese Roasted Sweet Potato prepared by a local Dunhuang Chinese woman seller!!

But it’s such a huge piece there’s still so much leftovers……………

Our Tour group will be leaving Dunhuang this evening for our next destination along the Silk Road of China, & now we’re leaving Dunhuang International Hotel awaiting our Lunch, before we set off for our afternoon tours of yet more interesting places here in beautiful Desert Oasis of Dunhuang……………..

The following are Dunhuang Souvenir T-Shirts (all painted by the above Chinese Artist) on sales inside his Souvenirs Shop – & in the last minute I bought yet another beautifully painted Kuan Yin (or “Goddess of Mercy“) T-Shirt for myself (which I’d actually ordered last night!) :

Heheh thought I snap a few pics of my White Mask stained with my Lipstick Color!!

Thank goodness I’d this on, plus my Orange Shoes Covers & Blue-plastic Camera Cover cos it could be real sandy with blowing wind while Camel Riding on the Deserts of Mingsha Shan (Echoing-Sand Mountain)……………..

Hahah this last Soup Dish was kinda horrible tasting cos it was so sticky!! But for the earlier dishes they were all pretty yummy yummy especially the Roasted Duck & most special Huge Red Dates!!

Now my stomach’s full & I’m all ready for our next exciting Tour of Dunhuang!!
