Camels are feeling weak, and over a thousand camels from Mingsha Mountain are collectively on strike? Scenic Area: Many people and hot weather. Ms. Li | Scenic Area | Camel
In the past two days, several netizens have reported that the camels for tourists to ride in the Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring Scenic Area in Dunhuang, Gansu have collectively gone on strike. On the 19th, the staff of the scenic area stated that the recent summer passenger flow has been very high, with only over 1000 camels in the scenic area. Some camels have experienced physical exhaustion after working, so the project has been suspended.
On July 19th, Ms. Li, who was traveling to the Mingsha Mountain Yueya Spring Scenic Area in Jiuquan City, Gansu Province, told Jimu News reporters that she also came to Yueya Spring to experience camel riding. However, she only found out after arriving at the scenic area that the camel riding project had temporarily ceased service. Ms. Li called to inquire about the specific opening hours of the scenic area and learned that she needs to wait for notification, but she is not aware of why the project has been suspended.

"On the one hand, there have been too many tourists in the summer recently, with a daily passenger flow of around 20000 to 30000 people. Most tourists ride camels, but there are only over 1000 camels working from morning to night. Moreover, the weather is hot, and some camels may experience physical exhaustion. In addition, due to the large number of camels, there is a lot of dust and camel manure in the scenic area in the afternoon, which has a strong odor and environmental pollution. Therefore, the scenic area is also undergoing rectification." The staff introduced that there are other projects such as sightseeing buses in the scenic area, which can be played normally. As for when it will reopen, the scenic area is also waiting for notification.
Previously, according to a report from Dunhuang, Yang Gai, the person in charge of the camel transportation project at the Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring Scenic Area in Dunhuang City, said in an interview two months ago: "The Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring Scenic Area has 2400 camels operating simultaneously every day, from 6am to 8pm every day, with a short rest time from noon. The rest of the time has been serving tourists, with an average of 8 trips per camel per day, about 30 kilometers. We will add enough food to the camels at night to ensure that every tourist has a good camel riding experience at the Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring Scenic Area."
