Echoing-Sand Mountain

It is a special mountain that the sound made as the wind whipping off the dunes.
The Echoing-Sand Mountain(Chinese: 鸣沙山；pinyin: míngshāshān), which tower several hundred feet high, look like a golden dragon winding its way over the horizon. It was named after the sound made as the grains of sand are crunched under foot and the cause is that the friction and static create as the wind shifts the sand or you slip down the mountainside. The dunes are quite huge, some even more than 100 meters, but they are relatively stable and the shape of the dunes around the Echoing-Sand Dunes keep on shifting frequently. There is a range of activities, including para gliding, sand tobogganing, and camel rides.
