I fell in love with its proud and aloof temperament at first sight

Last month, I went to Dunhuang. I was shocked when I first saw the Mingsha Mountain covered with snow. Although the real desert is much more vast than here, the sand dunes still made me realize how small humans are in the world. In winter, the sand of Mingsha Mountain is cold, but this coldness exudes a calm and long-lasting temperament. I realized that it is not only the summer desert where you can look up at the stars that has a romantic atmosphere. Desolation is also a kind of romance, a romance that only time can understand. The camel team walks on the sand dunes. This season is probably the most leisurely time for camels. Even after taking photos with tourists, the camels that are kept and tamed still have clear eyes and stare at me for a long time. I couldn't bear to look at its face, especially the steel nail on its nose.
