Yuequan Spring Scenic Area consists of a lake and a mountain, a sand mountain (Mingshan) surrounds a green lake (Yuequan Spring). The sand mountain is named because it makes a 'shhh' sound when the wind blows, and the name 'Yuequan Spring' comes from the fact that the curved new moon looks like a crescent moon when viewed from the top of the sand mountain. In this desert, sand and water are supposed to be enemies, but the sand mountain and Yuequan Spring are like a couple and have been together for a thousand years

A mysterious legend

Yuequan Spring is located on the edge of the Tengger Desert, China's fourth largest desert, it's a windward area, and there have been sandstorms for thousands of years, but Yuequan Spring has not been buried by the desert, and the clear spring has been preserved, it is a first-class wonder of the desert. This also gave Yuequan Spring a mysterious veil

Legend has it that thousands of years ago there was no sand mountain and no lake, but a temple called Lei Yin Temple. On April 8th of the fourth year of the lunar calendar, this day was the birthday of the Buddha, and visitors burned incense and prayed for blessings in the temple. The abbot brought out a holy water and placed it in front of the door. Suddenly, a sorcerer appeared and challenged the abbot, and suddenly a sandstorm rushed out, burying the temple under the sand, but the holy water was still intact, it turned out that the holy water was bestowed by the Buddha, and the sand sea formed a clear spring


Of course, this is just a legend. Modern scientific exploration shows that before the sand mountain and Yuequan Spring, there was a river, which was later buried by the desert and turned into an underground river. Yuequan Spring is in a low-lying area and the unique pattern of the sand mountain causes the sand around Yuequan Spring to flow uphill instead of into the lake. With the addition of underground water, a lake can be formed, and the lake will continue to exist
