Scenic spot introduction:
Xiangshawan in Inner Mongolia is famous for "the sand here can sing" and is China's largest desert tourism and leisure resort. Xiangshawan is called "Buremanha" in Mongolian, which means "sand dune with trumpet". Tall crescent-shaped sand dunes stretch across several kilometers, and the golden sand slopes are hidden under the blue sky and white clouds. There is a magnificent scene of the vast sea of sand reaching into the sky, like a golden crouching dragon. When the weather is clear and the sand is dry, tourists can climb the ladder or take the cable car to the top of the "Yinken" sand dune. When sliding down the sand slope, the sand will make sounds ranging from the croaking of frogs to the roaring of cars and airplanes. It's like thunder piercing the ears, more like a passionate symphony.Xiangshawan is a curved sand slope, backed by the vast desert and facing the river. It is nearly 100 meters high. The slope of the sand slope is 45 degrees and the width is more than 400 meters. People have built an unforgettable tourist resort paradise in the desert, with catering, accommodation, entertainment and leisure facilities. Xiangshawan attracts domestic and foreign tourists with its spectacular desert scenery, authentic Inner Mongolian customs, and colorful entertainment projects.
