The person in charge of the scenic area also stated that due to the recent hot weather and peak tourism season, the scenic area receives 20000 to 30000 tourists every day. As a result, over 1000 camels in the scenic area have experienced some physical exhaustion, including what you saw in the video, so our scenic area has made some improvements. The person in charge stated that the situation at that time had been explained to the tourists and actively addressed issues such as ticket refunds. Simultaneously communicate with tourists and assist in planning projects other than camel riding. "If tourists really want to ride camels, the scenic area will also recommend tourists to go to nearby camping sites to ride."
In addition, regarding the issue mentioned on the internet that "camel caravans can receive individual guests but temporarily do not receive teams", scenic area staff responded that it is only because camel caravans have just resumed transportation and there is a backlog of individual guests. Considering that the team is not fully in place, we will temporarily receive individual guests first, "there is no situation of not receiving teams".
According to Pengpai News, the ticket price for the Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring Scenic Area in Dunhuang, Gansu Province has not changed due to the above events, and remains at 100 yuan. The experience time is about 30 to 40 minutes, and the queue time is 1 to 2 hours. If there is a camel jam, the experience time will be slightly extended to about 50 minutes.
