Sunset At Beitun In Xinjiang, China Editorial Photo

This photo is taken in Dunhuang, China. The Crescent Lake, also known as the Crescent Spring or Yueya Spring, is located at the north foot of the Echoing-Sand Mountain, about four miles six kilometers south of Dunhuang City. It can be called a natural wonder in the Gobi Desert. Just as its name implies, the lake resembles a crescent fallen down into the desert. With the crystal water, it is like a turquoise or pearl inlaid in the vast desert in west China. Some say it reminds them of the eye of a beautiful woman, lucid, beautiful and amorous. Some say it looks like the mysterious, gentle and seductive lips of a pretty woman, or a slice of a lush, sweet and crystal cantaloupe.
