The flowers in the Crescent Moon Spring Scenic Spot of Dunhuang, Gansu province, are in full bloom. Bees and butterflies flutter around a sea of zinnia and lavender,  occasionally resting on the tender petals.

When evening comes, the gorgeous sunset casts its vibrant hues across the vast desert, and the clouds surge along with the breeze, attracting many tourists and shutterbugs.
