Xiangshawan sand is 110 meters high and 400 meters wide. It is close to therolling sand dunes, facing the Dachuan, leeward to the sunny slope. The terrainis crescent shaped, with a slope of 45 degrees, forming a huge echo wall of sanddunes.
When the sand is dry, visitors climb up the rope ladder or take a cable carto the top of Yinken sand dune and slide down. The sand dune will make a roaringsound, which is as light as a frog's "quack", as heavy as a car or plane's roar,as thunderous as thunder, and more like an exciting symphony. The sound of sandis exciting and interesting, so they make a concerted effort to move from thesand mountain more than 100 meters high People can't help but wonder that thesand here can sing?!
When we stand at the height of the sand dunes, we can see the rolling sanddunes in the vast desert, like golden waves, which is very spectacular.
This is Kubuqi Desert, one of the three major deserts in Inner Mongolia,with a total area of 16000 square kilometers. Kubuqi is Mongolian, and Chinesemeans "bow string". If we compare Kubuqi Desert to a curved bow, then YinkenXiangsha (Xiangsha Bay) under our feet is the "bow string".

The second legend is that old Zhang Guo, one of the eight immortals,accidentally opened his mouth on a donkey carrying a sand bag, and the sandburied a temple here overnight.
The sound of singing sand heard by people sliding in the sand is like thesound of lamas playing music and chanting sutras underground. The universalityof this legend represents the cultural effect of the local Mongoliangathering.
