The singing sands desert

 What's happening here is we have to wear these covers to prevent the sand from getting into our shoes when we walked on the desert sand.

 There's an entrance fee for entering into the desert area. It's a park.

The desert was crowded with Han Chinese visitors. They were riding camels and walking around. It was pretty fun. These sand dunes shifts all the time and when the wind blows, the shifting sand makes a whistling sound and that's why it is called the 'singing sands'. Dunhaung is an oasis in the midst of a vast desert. The desert is just at the edge of town, we took a cab, took about 5 minutes.
