travel starts with photography

Chapter 323 The Crescent Spring in the Textbook

A celebrity once said that all artists have an inner world that is bigger than reality, otherwise where does the inspiration for creation come from?
But such a huge inner world is often empty, so it is said that geniuses are lonely.

What such a person lacks most is a confidant.

A confidant like Boya Ziqi.

Chen Xing didn't have it before, but it has since the system came. Ever since he saw those ethnic minorities dancing in southern Yunnan, the system would echo a few words that fit the situation for almost every beautiful scene that shocked him.

The sentences are also beautiful.

Follow the call of beauty, to understand, to praise, to protect and retain.

This sentence not only represents the place of Mogao Grottoes, but also includes all the disappearing cultures in China.A person like Chen Xing may not be able to protect and retain him, but if he shares his feelings with other people through his own understanding and admiration, then he won't get this system in vain.

I always feel that the travel notes to be written this time will be thicker...

[Congratulations on your special talent: Son of the Desert]

[Son of the desert: Your body will not consume more than [-]% of the normal value due to being in the desert. At the same time, when you are in the desert, the skin's ultraviolet defense is strengthened. Please experience more functions by yourself]

When Chen Xing saw this news, he suddenly felt that the surrounding area was not hot at all.A few minutes ago, I felt a little thirsty and my cheeks were a little dry, but now I don't feel anything strange.

He touched his face subconsciously.

The fingers slid across the face, which was similar to the feeling in Jiangnan before.

This talent...

It's really good, but it doesn't seem to be very useful.

He now has three special talents. The first one is Charisma Enhancement. Chen Xing doesn't feel deeply about this one, because no matter how much he strengthens, he doesn't change in any way, and he hasn't learned anything.

The second is the ancient town’s literary rhyme, which will allow him to think more quickly when he is in an ancient town with a history of more than 500 years than in other places... In the future, when writing books, writing travel notes, etc., it is best to search the surrounding ancient towns first.

This Son of the Desert is the third special talent.

Judging from the introduction alone, the reduction in consumption is quite a lot, but Chen Xing has stamina enhancement, and he can't be said to be as exhausted as ordinary people after a day, so the significance is not very big. The second function makes the skin Affected by drought and UV rays...

"Tsk, system, you are probably a good-looking person." Chen Xing said.

The system does not respond, it is estimated to be the default.

........................

Leaving Mogao Grottoes, we will pass another well-known scenic spot in Dunhuang on the way.

Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring.

This is just a small scenic spot, so Chen Xing's plan for today is to go to Mogao Grottoes first, and visit Crescent Moon Spring when he returns to Dunhuang, stay in Dunhuang at night, and go directly to Yanjing tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Don't worry about other scenic spots around, don't you have to come again later?

It's not too late to go then.

Chen Xing knew about Crescent Lake for a long time.

The scenery here was written in the textbooks when I was in elementary school. The main reason is that the name Crescent Lake is so beautiful that it left a deep impression on me. Otherwise, Chen Xing would still remember it now.

I don't know if it is still in the current textbook.

He can't remember exactly which class he went to, and how he described it in detail.

But it’s okay, you can see for yourself.

Tickets are 55, which is the cheapest ticket sold among the attractions that Chen Xing has been to recently. The previous tickets were always [-], and [-] or more.

There are sightseeing cars in the scenic spots, or you can choose not to take a car and walk there.

Many people who came from the same batch as Chen Xing chose to take the car, because I heard that there is still a distance from here to Crescent Moon Spring.

In addition, some walked, and a small part chose a more unique and more desert-like means of transportation-riding camels.

Chen Xing didn't decide whether to walk or ride a camel, but he liked animals more, so he approached a camel to watch him eat, and touched his hump carefully—he was curious whether it was hard or not. Soft.

A man who was feeding a camel with a bucket of fruit shouted, "Hey! Be careful!"

He was talking towards Chen Xing, about seven or eight camels away.

"Okay!" Chen Xing responded.

When I touched it, it was not too hard or soft, and it was a little elastic...

The camel seemed to give Chen Xing a supercilious look, which made him laugh.

"Just touch it, don't be so stingy, you can take me to Crescent Lake later." Chen Xing said, patting his first hump.

These camels have two humps. Chen Xing heard that some camels have only one hump. He was a little curious about how to sit on them.
Chen Xing's actions finally attracted the old man who was feeding the fruit to the camel. He walked over and said, "Eh? It's really strange. This camel is usually very angry, why is it so quiet today?"

As soon as the voice fell, the camel made a sound that was very shrill and low, which was very similar to that of a cow.

"Hey, are you still not happy?" The old man said with a straight face.

The camel barked twice more, and even Chen Xing could see his unconvinced look.

Maybe he can't understand what people are saying, but just like some people are naturally sensitive to other people's emotions, these animals must also be a little smarter, knowing whether the humans talking to them are praising or reprimanding.

Chen Xing found it very interesting and asked, "Boss, how much is it for a ride?"

Hearing that someone was riding a camel, the old man didn't bother to teach this guy a lesson, and turned to Chen Xing and said, "100 yuan, let's walk around here, and then I'll take you to the Crescent Moon Spring, where can I sit, boss? "

"En." Chen Xing nodded.

He has a lot of camels, and Chen Xing is waiting here before everyone is ready.

But this period of time is the peak tourist season in Dunhuang, there are many people, and soon the camel team will be full.

Sitting on a camel is easier than riding a horse, because the camel can kneel down, and a person can sit on the saddle in the middle of the hump with a little step.And the horse won't kneel down, and you have to use your waist strength to get up, otherwise it would be too ugly to hug the horse's neck.

But Chen Xing still thinks that riding a horse is better, the horse is more handsome, and the camel is a little bit inferior.

Maybe because Chen Xing said he was ugly, the camel barked loudly and softly. Chen Xing patted his hump and said:

"Don't call!"

Sure enough, he shut his mouth.

After waiting for a while, the old man shouted, "Sit still!"

The camels stood up one by one, feeling slightly unsteady, but this was an illusion. As long as they sat on the saddle properly and did not move around, they would not be able to fall [-]% of the time. A momentary feeling of weightlessness.

Behind Chen Xing, there was another girl calling, her voice was soul-stirring.

Everyone was laughing, and Chen Xing also smiled.

But when the "jingle bell" camel bell rang, the laughter stopped.

The team started to set off, leaving the crowded area.

The leaders of the camel caravan must be local people, and they can’t get lost. Those who walk and take sightseeing cars can only take the fixed route...Of course ordinary people can also leave that road, as long as they are not afraid of getting lost.

Dunhuang gave Chen Xing the feeling of a big oasis in the desert. When he walked out of Dunhuang, he felt like a desert, or a desert. Many martial arts movies and TV dramas like to go to such places for filming.Then Crescent Lake is also another small oasis in this desert.

Everyone can't see this oasis yet. Now that they leave the main road, the camel caravan seems to have really entered the desert.

The noises around are gone, only the private chats of acquaintances in the camel caravan, the tinkling of camel bells, and the unavoidable wind in the desert, flying past their feet with the raised sand .

Chen Xing gradually felt that his skin was getting goosebumps.

There is a feeling of time travel!
From time to time there would be roars in the line, and then the people in the line would laugh, but then someone else would shout.

"That's great!" someone yelled.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

The old man who was walking in front and holding the rope didn't seem surprised, and didn't look back.

He has seen this kind of scene a lot.

Although not every team will be like this, as long as someone starts, the one or two behind will follow suit.

Chen Xing also shouted along with the crowd.

The voice was a bit low, but it was heard by a girl on a camel behind Chen Xing. She shouted loudly: "The handsome guy in front, didn't he eat? I'll treat you to dinner later, so shout louder."

Her friend was right behind her, and shouted with a smile: "I heard your plan in Black Dragon J."

She turned around and shouted, "Please don't expose some things, please?"

Someone shouted again, and the camel team now highlighted an ape on both sides of the strait and couldn't help crying. Fortunately, these camels were relatively safe, and they could only focus on moving forward, not curious about what the humans on their backs were doing.

Chen Xing also yelled, venting the pressure that he didn't have much...

Where is he under pressure now, and the yelling to vent with them is just because it is very happy.

"Beauty, where are you going to have dinner tonight?" Chen Xing turned around and asked.

"Haha, let's see when the time comes." She moved the sunglasses down with her right hand and blinked at Chen Xing.

This girl is pretty, she looks about 25 years old, her skin is very fair, and her fingers are pretty.

Chen Xing straightened his waist and shook his neck.

It is true that a taller person would be a little uncomfortable riding a shorter mount. Now he misses the big horse in Nima Zhandui's house very much. It is tall and handsome, even more handsome than the horse in Uncle Feida's house.

It would be nice if you bring a drone, or the camel team can stop and let yourself go a little farther to take pictures.

But Chen Xing was afraid it would be too troublesome.

Simply forget it, there are endless good photos to be taken, and every day you will encounter new things that are worth taking pictures.

Take it easy.

The old man leading the horse at the front would also tell stories to the two people with camels in front. It was a pity that Chen Xing didn't come and sit in the front earlier.

He also wants to hear stories.

Chen Xing suspected that these locals all had similar talents like the Son of the Desert, or they might have gotten used to it long ago.

Tourists ride camels, he walks.

Some tourists are already sweating profusely, and they don’t know how many times they wiped with paper towels, but this old man feels like walking in the garden.

Chen Xing could vaguely hear him talking, even his tone didn't change.

In other words, these camels have already left for many times. If the old man in the lead wants to be lazy, he can sit on the first camel and let the camels go by themselves, but this will save a tourist's money.

After sitting for a long time, they finally saw Crescent Lake.

The people and tourists in the camel caravan yelled.

If they didn't have the kind of yelling that relaxed their hearts before, maybe they would restrain themselves a little now, but since they have let their instincts fly in front of them, why bother to restrain themselves when they can see the Crescent Lake?
They should be on a hill full of sand, which is quite high. From them, the Crescent Lake below is just a small pond.

There is a green area around the pond, and there are also several loft-like buildings.

Crescent Moon Spring is really the same as his name, it is curved like a crescent moon, and it is reflecting the sun's light at this moment, very eye-catching.

The old man said: "If you want to take pictures, you can take pictures here. This is a good location."

The Crescent Lake seems to be surrounded by several huge sandy slopes, like a toy-like building, which is so delicate that it doesn't look like the world they live in.

But those tourists who are as small as sesame seeds are telling them loudly that this is reality!
Take pictures.

Everyone took nearly half an hour to shoot here. The old man watched them. If someone walked away, he would ask his grandson to chase them back, or watch them, because no one was watching in this place. It's really going to get lost.

And if someone falls from here, maybe they can't bear too much injury, but they will definitely be enough.

Chen Xing looked around and saw a good location. In the same location, there was a 40-year-old brother holding a Nikon.This eldest brother is very thin, about 1.7 meters tall, and looks like he weighs about a hundred catties. He is wearing casual pants and blue clothes, which looks a bit elegant.

He took a few pictures, and saw that Chen Xing was also taking pictures next to him, so he glanced at it.

"You're using a...Hasselblad?"

"Well, big brother has good eyesight!"

"Still the latest one? X2D?"

"Brother is an expert!"

Now this camera can be pre-ordered, so Chen Xing also boldly admits it with confidence, but pre-ordering is pre-ordering, and there are still few people who can actually get it. The first to get it are those old Hasselblad fans.

These true fans are equivalent to members of Hasselblad, and their names are all backed up in Hasselblad.

He glanced enviously.

Who doesn’t like Hasselblad as long as it’s for photography?

But they have reached their age, and they really don't have the spare money to buy such expensive luxury goods.

If you are younger, you can be desperate. If you are older, you can get a pension, then you can be desperate, as long as you are happy.But when you are in your forties, there are old people and young people, alas.

He was chatting with Chen Xing, and suddenly he sighed, feeling very wrong.

Chen Xing frowned suspiciously, and stopped talking.
