Chapter 468 Magical Musical Instrument

"Crescent Lake? I've seen an introduction to this place online. It seems to be an oasis in the desert. It's very beautiful! It's a must-visit attraction on my bucket list."

"I've also seen it online. The scenery is very Western, like a fairyland on earth. I didn't expect our itinerary would also include Crescent Lake. This is great!"

When the students heard that they were going to Crescent Lake, they were very excited. After all, there are very few scenic spots like Crescent Lake in the world.

Now that they can go on the trip, and most importantly, have their idol Qin Yuan as their companion, they are naturally extremely excited.

In fact, according to the original plan, Qin Yuan would only stay with them for half a day, but when he heard Fang Long say that they also wanted to go to Crescent Lake, Qin Yuan temporarily changed his mind, because he was originally going to Crescent Lake as well.

As one of the 5A-level scenic spots in Dunhuang, Crescent Lake is a must-visit place for tourists to Dunhuang, and he certainly cannot miss it.

Since they want to go too, why not go together? This way I don’t have to go alone and I can also avoid the ticket fee.

After eating, the group took a bus to the gate of Crescent Lake Scenic Area. This was also Qin Yuan’s first visit to this scenic area.

However, because Crescent Lake is also an extremely popular tourist attraction in China, he made some travel guides online in advance.

Therefore, he was quite familiar with the relevant information about Crescent Lake. So as soon as he arrived at Crescent Lake, Qin Yuan was asked by everyone to explain it.

Qin Yuan smiled at this and turned into Tour Guide Qin again, starting to introduce relevant information about Crescent Lake to everyone.

The Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Lake Scenic Area is located 5 kilometers south of Dunhuang City, Jiuquan City, Gansu Province, covering an area of ​​76.82 square kilometers.

The core scenic area is defined as 12.79 square kilometers, and it is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction.

It is famous for its wonderful landscape of "mountain springs coexisting, sand and water coexisting", and is praised as "one of the most unique scenery outside the Great Wall."

Among them, Crescent Lake is actually just one of the attractions in the entire scenic area. In addition to Crescent Lake, there are also Folk Museum, Mingsha Mountain and other attractions.

Let’s go to the Folk Museum first. The Folk Museum was built in 1988, with a construction area of ​​4300 square meters and a castle-style architectural structure.

The museum brings together the essence of Dunhuang folk architecture, living customs, and traditional culture.

Its layout follows the style of traditional folk houses in Dunhuang, and displays a large number of exhibits reflecting the modern folk production, life, religion, and culture of Dunhuang. It is a base for displaying modern Dunhuang folk culture.

From this we can roughly see how the people of Dunhuang lived in the past, which is very helpful for understanding the customs and culture of Dunhuang."

Led by the tour guide, Qin Yuan and his party arrived at the first attraction of the scenic area - the Folk Museum.

The so-called museum is actually a local-style folk building. The space inside is not large and there are no valuable things.

What is displayed inside are some of the things that the people of Dunhuang once used to live in. They are not very interesting, but they can broaden one's horizons.

Especially for a group of college students from France, these things were unheard of, so they watched with great gusto.

After staying in the B&B museum for about 20 minutes, the group headed directly towards Mingsha Mountain.

"The place we are heading to now is Mingsha Mountain, which is more than 40 kilometers long from east to west and about 20 kilometers wide from north to south. The main peak is 1715 meters above sea level.

It is named after the sound made by moving sand. To the east of Mingsha Mountain is Sanwei Mountain, to the south is Heishifeng Mountain, and to the west are the Gobi Desert and Kumtag Desert.

The westerly and northerly winds carrying more sand are blocked by the mountains here, causing the sand in the wind to settle down, and over time the Singing Sand Mountain is formed.

Under the influence of wind, Mingsha Mountain "restores its shape as before after being blown by the wind all night", always maintaining a certain height and unchanging shape.

For thousands of years, Mingsha Mountain still stands tall and the sound of singing sand can still be heard. Dunhuang was called Shazhou in ancient times.

There are two main recreational activities in Mingsha Mountain, one is camel riding and the other is climbing the sand ladder.

Because only by climbing up the sand ladder to the top of Mingsha Mountain can you overlook the entire Crescent Lake, and the scenery is very beautiful.

However, I read the guide online, which said to go to Crescent Lake first and then walk around Crescent Lake.

Then in the evening we can climb up Mingsha Mountain to watch the sunset and night view. So do you want to climb Mingsha Mountain first or go to Crescent Lake?"

Qin Yuan asked while looking at a group of students with a smile.

"We want to ride camels, we want to experience the ancient Silk Road."

"Yes, we want to ride camels. I saw on the Internet that many tourists who came here rode camels, and we want to ride one too."

At this moment, both domestic and French students were murmuring about the desire to ride camels, looking eager to try.

Not only the students, but several French teachers were also very excited and wanted to ride camels.

It is normal for them to have such a reaction. After all, there is no such exotic scenery in France, and you can't ride a camel.

Now that they have come to Longguo and Dunhuang, they will naturally not miss such an opportunity.

"You must ride. We have already bought the tickets." Fang Long, who was standing aside, said with a smile.

"Yeah, that's great!" Hearing Fang Long say this, a group of students cheered happily.

At this time, Fang Long shifted his gaze to Qin Yuan and said, "Ayuan, you can ride with us! It's quite interesting. I've ridden it once before."

Hearing this, Qin Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Forget it! My butt is numb from riding every day, and the camel smell is very strong. I can't stand it. Let them have fun."

"Okay then!" Seeing Qin Yuan said so, Fang Long didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything else.

When Sophia heard that Qin Yuan didn't want to ride, she immediately walked to his side and whispered, "If you don't want to ride, then I won't ride either."

"Why? It's a rare trip for you to Dunhuang. If you don't ride now, you may not have the chance in the future." Qin Yuan asked a little puzzled.

"How can there be no chance? If I join your company, I can live in Longguo for a long time in the future! Then I can come whenever I want.

But I also think that camels smell bad. If I ride on one, I’ll probably smell like camel.

What if you are no longer interested in me at night? So forget it! I won’t join in the fun.”

"." Qin Yuan.

"So you are considering the battle tonight?"

Hearing Sophia say this, Qin Yuan couldn't help but laugh and cry. This woman's train of thought is really strange!

"Of course, you're leaving Dunhuang tomorrow, and the only time we can spend together is tonight, so I have to cherish it."

"It looks like there's a tough battle waiting for me tonight!"

"What are you talking about! It's not just one tough battle to fight! It's many battles. The specific number of battles depends on your physical condition at that time." "!!!!" Qin Yuan.

"It looks like you're planning to suck me dry tonight!" Qin Yuan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Of course I will! I have to suck you dry so that you won't have time to think about your other lovers."

Hearing Sophia say this, Qin Yuan could only smile without saying anything. This woman really underestimated his physical fitness.

Given his physical condition, it was impossible for a woman alone to shake him at all, and in the end she would be the only one who was drained.

Of course, he would not say such words at the moment. After all, it would be suspected of bragging. He would just do it directly when the time comes.

"Okay, okay, then I'll wait and see tonight. I want to see how you suck me dry." Qin Yuan said with a smile.

While the two of them were whispering, a group of students and teachers had already boarded their camels and were heading towards Mingsha Mountain.

Seeing this, Qin Yuan shifted his gaze to Fang Long.

"Teacher Fang, since everyone is riding on camels, let's split up for now! Let's go to the Crescent Moon Lake in front first."

"Ok, the main purpose here is to see the scenery. There's actually nothing much to introduce. Let's split up and leave this to our other teachers. You and Sophia can have fun. I wish you have a good time."

Fang Long looked at Qin Yuan with a half-smile and said, obviously he had noticed that Sophia and Qin Yuan had a special relationship.

He had known Sofia when she was very young, so in his eyes Sofia was like his own child.

Now that his child is walking with Qin Yuan, a talented boy, he naturally has no reason to object.

Not only did he not object, he was very happy. After all, with Qin Yuan's talent and looks, he was more than qualified to be a good match for Sophia.

As a Chinese, he felt proud of his country when he saw that such an outstanding Chinese man like Qin Yuan could attract the love and admiration of a Western woman.

In this case, it would be even more impossible for him to object. If possible, he hoped that the two of them could really become a couple.

How could he know that Qin Yuan and Sophia had already been a couple for a long time.

Not only are they a couple, but even the most important step has been completed.

"Teacher, don't worry, we will have a great time. We'll go first. Goodbye, teacher." Sophia said happily.

Then she couldn't help but pull Qin Yuan's wrist and walk towards Crescent Lake.

Although it is not the peak tourist season, there are still quite a lot of tourists at Crescent Lake. Fortunately, Qin Yuan has been wearing a black mask.

So no one noticed him for a while, and he was not too worried about being seen. It was quite romantic to follow Sophia walking on the trail in the endless yellow sand.

"It's so dreamy here! It's like a paradise on earth! I never thought there would be such scenery in Dragon Country. It's really incredible."

Looking at the Crescent Lake in front of her and the quaint buildings beside it, Sophia couldn't help but speak.

Although it was not Sophia's first time to visit Dragon Country, she had not visited many scenic spots, and her previous visits were mostly limited to the Magic City and Yanjing.

She had never dared to even think about a place like the Western Regions before, so this kind of scene was truly the first time she had seen it in her life.

In addition, the first time I saw such a scene in my life was walking here with Qin Yuan, the man I loved, and the feeling was even more wonderful.

At this moment, she felt like she had come to a fairyland. She only hoped that time could stay at this moment forever and that she would not move anymore. Just let her stay with Qin Yuan forever!

Qin Yuan naturally didn't know what she was thinking, but he quite agreed with Sophia's evaluation.

As one of the few desert oasis attractions in China, Crescent Lake is truly worthy of the title of paradise on earth.

In fact, as early as 2005, the Dunhuang Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake Scenic Area was known as "one of the five most beautiful deserts in Dragon Kingdom".

"This scenery is really like a paradise on earth. Not to mention you, even I, a Dragon countryman, have never seen such a scenery before. It is really shocking. Wait until the sun sets, and the scenery will be even more beautiful."

"Well, how about we go to the top of Mingsha Mountain to watch the sunset and the night view together later? I want to hear you play the flute then." Sophia said intoxicatedly.

"Play the flute? Are you talking about the real flute?" Qin Yuan looked at Sophia in astonishment, a little confused as to why she suddenly talked about playing the flute.

"Isn't the flute just a musical instrument? Is there a difference between serious and non-serious ones?" Sophia was a little confused after listening to Qin Yuan's words.

As a foreigner, she naturally did not understand the profoundness of the Dragon Kingdom's writing, so she did not understand the meaning of Qin Yuan's words.

Seeing that Sophia didn't understand, Qin Yuan smiled evilly and said, "Of course there is, but it's not a proper flute. We men can't play it. Only you women can play it."

"????"

"A flute that only women can play? Is there such a strange musical instrument in Dragon Country? Why have I never heard of it before?"

"It's probably because you are ignorant! But it doesn't matter, it's not too late for you to know now."

"Can I see this strange instrument? I want to learn it."

"Well, this is not very convenient now! I'll show it to you in the evening!" Qin Yuan said while holding back his laughter.

"What's so strange about Xiao? It can only be seen at night? Are you kidding me?" Sophia was even more confused.

"How could I lie to you? The reason why I don't show it to you now is because this Xiao is very valuable. I'm afraid that if someone sees it, they will become obsessed with it. So I'll show it to you slowly tonight!"

"Is it so expensive?" Sophia looked at Qin Yuandao with suspicion.

"Of course. It's extremely precious, even more precious than my life." Qin Yuan nodded seriously.

"Okay! Let's watch it tonight! By the way, you have to teach me how to play it then. I want to learn this instrument."

"I'm afraid I can't teach you this, but it doesn't matter. I can search for tutorials online for you. I believe that with your learning ability, you should be able to learn it in just a few minutes."

"Hey, really? Are you praising me for being smart?"

"Of course, you are more than just smart! You are a genius."

"Thank you, dear. I will study hard tonight."

"Well, I believe you!"
