Green In The Sand

Mingsha Sand Dune, Dunhuang,  China |

I always thought it's easy and fun to walk in the sand. But I started to have a different understanding about this activity after visited the Mingsha Sand Dune of Dunhuang in western China. It was not fun and easy at all! The deep sand, extreme heat and strong wind mixed with sand particles making every step forward a labor-intensive workout. However hard work it can be, the sight of an oasis with the greens in the middle of a sea of golden sand simply made everything worthwhile. It’s the simple rule of living—working hard then your reward follows.
