## About Xiangshawan (Singing Sand Bay)

Xiangshawan is a crescent-shaped sand slope with the vast desert behind it and a great river in front. Nearly 100 metres high, its golden slope sits beneath blue skies and white clouds, creating a magnificent view of sand reaching into the sky. What is most puzzling and most captivating here is its singing sand. As you slide down from the top of the dune, it produces a rumbling sound.
