Introduction: Crescent Moon Spring is nearly 100 meters long from north to south and about 25 meters wide from east to west. The spring water is deep in the east and shallow in the west. The deepest point is about 5 meters. It is curved like a crescent moon, hence its name. It is known as "the first spring in the desert." "", it has been one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Dunhuang" since the Han Dynasty, and was listed as a national scenic spot in 1994. Below is the essay on Crescent Moon Spring that I compiled for everyone to read. Composition 1: Crescent Moon Spring
We rode camels to Crescent Moon Spring. I touched the sand on the ground. It was thick and damp. The sand below was all wet. It was completely different from the soft and delicate sand of the small dunes just now.
Crescent Moon Spring is very beautiful as its name sounds. It is shaped like a thin crescent moon, a small sickle, and a smiling eye. The water in Crescent Moon Spring is crystal clear, and small fish are swimming happily in the water. She is like a bright mirror, when the breeze blows, the clear waves are rippling and sparkling; when there is no wind, people, trees, flowers and plants are all reflected in the water, like a beautiful and moving picture. Crescent Moon Spring is surrounded by beautiful flowers and green grass, as if the bright mirror of Crescent Moon Spring is decorated with a circle of colorful lace, it is so beautiful. Just looking at it makes people feel relaxed and happy, and all their worries are gone.
When we walked past a clump of seemingly beautiful wildflowers, we smelled a stink. I followed the smell and smelled the unknown wildflower. ,ah! It stinks! It's so strange. I have never seen such a rare flower before!
Beautiful Crescent Moon Spring, you are as beautiful as a mortal fairy, I will always mark you in my heart... Composition 2: Beautiful Crescent Moon Spring
A friend of mine, her My hometown is Dunhuang.
One day, I was invited by a friend to visit her house. It took several hours by car.
I came to her house, said good morning to her grandparents first, then held my friend’s hand and ran out to play together.
My friend took me to see the most beautiful and beautiful place. She covered my eyes and walked for a few minutes. My friend said, "Okay, we are here."
My friend called I opened my eyes and exclaimed: "Wow! It's so beautiful! I have never been to such a beautiful place!" My friend told me that this is the Crescent Moon Spring, a scenic spot. I asked curiously: "Then why is it called Crescent Spring? Isn't it called Moon Spring? Or is it called Sun Spring?" My friend said that this is its unique place. The reason why it is called Crescent Spring is because it is called Crescent Spring. A pool of spring water appeared in the middle of the surrounding towers, and its shape was like a crescent moon in the sky, so people gave it a poetic name, Crescent Moon Spring. And it also has a characteristic. Whenever a strong wind blows, a large amount of sand is always carried in the wind and blown towards the Crescent Moon Spring. At this time, a miracle occurs. No matter how much sand is blown by the strong wind, the Crescent Moon Spring will not be affected by the sand. buried. Crescent Moon Spring is so lovely and beautiful all year round.
As winter passes and spring comes, the warm spring breeze is like a pair of gentle hands, caressing all things. The Crescent Moon Spring becomes sparkling under the sunlight. The reeds also began to come alive. Look at the tender green reed leaves and the sparkling Crescent Moon Spring, they are so beautiful! In winter, I came to Dunhuang again. The Crescent Moon Spring in winter was covered with a beautiful silver coat. It looked like a silver gem when illuminated by the faint sunlight. ah! What a charming sight!
I love Dunhuang, and I love Crescent Moon Spring in Dunhuang even more! Composition 3: The magical Crescent Moon Spring
"The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass", "There are no old friends when leaving Yangguan in the west". With a longing for the majestic, desolate and lonely scenery of the northwest frontier, our family traveled a long distance to Dunhuang this summer. Crescent Moon Spring - "the first spring in the desert" left a deep memory in me.
Crescent Moon Spring is located in Mingsha Mountain Scenic Area. Coming to the desert, everything here seems to be inextricably linked to the sand, including those beautiful legends. Like most people, I first thought of the "ship of the desert" - the camel. So we each rode a camel, and together with many tourists, we formed a large camel team, lined up in a long snake formation, and headed towards the hinterland of the desert. Sunlight, camel caravans, sand dunes, and reflections form a magnificent picture. The occasional breeze and the sparse sound of camel bells add incomparable charm to this painting, arousing people's infinite reverie! Finally, we arrived at Crescent Moon Spring.
Hey! The pool in front of me doesn't look like a crescent moon at all. The more I look at it, the more it looks like a key. I thought: Crescent Moon Spring is not as magical as imagined.
Then the most difficult climb to the peak began. Climbing the sand peak is much more difficult than climbing a mountain. The sand is scalding hot, a full 50 or 60 degrees. Fortunately, we rented shoe covers. The sand is flowing. If you take a step up, you will slide back half a step. Of course you can imagine how difficult it is to get up. Before I even climbed a step, I was already panting and sweating. My legs felt like they were filled with lead and I couldn't move any further. I sat down on the sand hill and never wanted to get up again. I watched tourists crawling past me one by one, including children several years younger than me. I thought: "They can do it, why can't I do it?" I wanted to give up halfway, but under the leadership of my mother and the encouragement of my father, I charged again and again, and finally reached the top. ah! Look, the real Crescent Moon Spring is displayed in front of us. From a distance, the spring water is curved like a crescent moon, so realistic! The spring water is green, like emeralds inlaid on the gold-like sand dunes, so beautiful! Just a look from a distance completely conquered us, and when we walked in... It took me a long time to come back to my senses and I thought to myself: "If I didn't climb the sand peak, I don't know how much regret I would have left!"
"One, two, three" The sandboarding competition between my father and my mother began. Sitting on the sand dune mountain, I squeezed my legs hard and slid down together with the sand. After a while, I was the first to slide to the bottom of the peak. Due to excessive physical exertion, the original plan to get close to Crescent Moon Spring was canceled. Let the mysterious veil of Crescent Moon Spring remain in our hearts forever!
The half-day tour was almost over. I looked back and saw: clear springs and deserts. For thousands of years, wind and rain have depended on each other here, forming a perfect place for mountain springs and sand and water. The wonderful landscape of natural harmony made me think: how important it is for a family, a group, a country, and a society to live in harmony!
The magical Crescent Moon Spring is really a beautiful landscape in the desert. It is worthy of being called the "No. 1 Spring in the Desert". It is a natural treasure dedicated to mankind by nature!
