Romance Variety Show: Director, there's something wrong with my script!

Chapter 60 Mingsha Mountain

Mingsha Mountain refers to the desert area near Crescent Bay in Dunhuang.

In Chen Yuan's memory, the famous Mogao Caves seemed to be nearby, right?

After leaving the town, Chen Yuan and Lin Wanxing headed towards Mingsha Mountain. There were many tourists watching along the way, but there were not many people after they reached the top of the sand dunes.

Camels are essential for activities in the Singing Sand Dunes, and there are warning signs if you walk beyond a certain area.

The two climbed the sand dunes near the square one after the other. Chen Yuan looked back and saw the Centennial Celebration stage below, and then Crescent Bay in the distance.

"What's that place over there?" Lin Wanxing noticed ancient buildings further away.

"Over there?" Chen Yuan looked in that direction and vaguely guessed that it should be the Mogao Caves, but he wasn't sure if it was still called the Mogao Caves now. "It should be some kind of tourist attraction."

Lin Wanxing nodded, her eyes filled with curiosity, but soon she was drawn to the undulating sand dunes in front of her. In the morning sunlight, the dunes looked like small pyramids.

The sand seemed to be radiating light.

"Huh?" Chen Yuan glanced at the map and realized that this route was wrong. Before they could start crossing the sand dunes, they needed to go to Crescent Bay to collect the mission items.

"We've taken the wrong road. We need to turn around and go to Crescent Bay to get our props," Chen Yuan called out to Lin Wanxing behind him, giving an awkward smile.

There was quite a lot of travel to do today.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanxing rode her camel to catch up, walking alongside Chen Yuan. "So, what are we going to do now?"

"Let's go to Crescent Bay to collect the items," Chen Yuan said, turning the camel around. "Come to think of it, we haven't even been to Crescent Bay yet, have we?"

"Yes, but you can see it from here too," Lin Wanxing said.

From the perspective of the sand dunes, Crescent Bay is not large; it could even be described as just a small pond, not even a fishpond.

"Do you think the scenic area might have added this water themselves?" Lin Wanxing muttered.

Chen Yuan was taken aback when he heard this. He really didn't know how to answer this question, as it involved the timing and rhythm of the conversation, especially in front of so many people in the live stream.

Lin Wanxing clearly realized the problem as well. After she came to her senses, she laughed and said, "That shouldn't be possible, after all, this oasis really exists." She scratched her head and chuckled.

The viewers in the live stream were completely baffled by her.

"You know what, it's actually quite possible, like fake waterfalls in some scenic spots."

"Be careful what you say, Wanxing. What you just said is very dangerous."

"Positive energy~~~~"

"Positive energy is flooding social media!"

"..."

Millions of fans have been browsing this topic, worried that it might cause some controversy, and they are very concerned about Lin Wanxing.

Before long, the two arrived at Crescent Bay.

As they descended the sand dunes, they were filled with awe when this oasis, which had existed for thousands of years, appeared before them.

The staff were already waiting there, handing over two heavy canvas bags containing a complete set of equipment for setting up a tent, several bottles of mineral water, and a task card.

The instructions for making the "Sand Bottle of Unity" are detailed on the label, as well as the process of setting up a tent in the evening and making a wish under the stars at night.

"And this too." The staff member handed over two blank sand bottles and several bags of colored sand. "These are props for the daytime mission. Remember to keep them safe after you're done, as you'll need them to make a wish tonight."

"Oh... thank you." Chen Yuan took the prop and, together with Lin Wanxing, secured the item to the camel's back.

After receiving the props, the two did not set off immediately, but lingered in Crescent Bay for a while to take some photos, which can be considered as a real trip to Crescent Bay in Dunhuang.

We used to live in small towns, and even during music festivals, we were still quite a distance from here.

After a while, the two set off again, riding camels and climbing the sand dunes once more.

With a clear direction this time, the two made good progress and arrived at their destination at noon.

Although the sun was blazing at this time, the shallow sand area was shaded by scattered jujube trees, providing a slight sense of coolness.

"Let's take a break and finish the day's tasks." Chen Yuan glanced at the map manual, then tied the camel to the jujube tree.

After dismounting from the camel, Chen Yuan took out a sand bottle and fine sand from his canvas bag and spread out a picnic mat under the shade of a tree.

Lin Wanxing sat down as well, picking up the different colored sands to examine them: "These colors are so beautiful, are they really sand?"

"It shouldn't be." Chen Yuan wasn't sure either, and picked up a transparent sand bottle.

Then he picked out a bag of light blue and a bag of light gray fine sand.

Lin Wanxing looked at the sand and chose pink and gold fine sand. After selecting the sand, she looked at Chen Yuan curiously and asked, "Then what do we do?"

"Let me see how to make a sand bottle." Chen Yuan glanced at the instruction manual the staff had given him and said, "Just mix colored sand with white sand, that's roughly it."

"Oh!" Lin Wanxing's eyes lit up, and she immediately took action, opening the glass bottle and scooping up a handful of fine white sand to put into the bottle.

Chen Yuan looked at her braids that almost reached the ground and was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected a girl's hair to be so long.

Lin Wanxing hummed a little tune, her face full of smiles, thoroughly enjoying herself.

This task is not difficult.

Although it took some time, the two eventually filled their respective sand bottles.

Several colors of sand overlapped, shimmering with colorful light under the sun.

Lin Wanxing looked at her work with great satisfaction.

After making the sand bottles, the two of them grabbed a bite to eat under the jujube tree.

The desert was very quiet at this time of year; apart from the sound of camel bells, there were no other sounds.

They had a lot to do today. After eating, the two continued their journey, heading to the campsite at Mingsha Mountain according to the directions in the manual.

This location is some distance from the town.

At first, the two were intrigued, but gradually fell silent. They walked until almost dusk, when the setting sun dyed the entire desert red, and Chen Yuan finally saw the campsite.

"We're here, we're finally here," Chen Yuan said weakly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanxing looked up and saw a canyon in the desert. At that moment, many people and camels had arrived from other directions.

"There are quite a few people?" Lin Wanxing asked in surprise.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and said, "This is a campsite in Mingsha Mountain. Many people camp here to enjoy the starry sky, so tourists often come here in groups."

"Won't tonight be quite lively?" Lin Wanxing couldn't help but look forward to it.

Soon, when the two of them entered the canyon, other tourists exclaimed in surprise upon seeing them.

"Chen Yuan and Lin Wanxing?"

"Oh my god, so this is their itinerary for today!"

"Wow, so handsome! It's great to see him up close."

"Lin Wanxing is so beautiful."

"....."

The tourists were thrilled to see the celebrities and rushed forward to greet them.

Fortunately, there weren't many people. Chen Yuan and Lin Wanxing got off the camel and responded to the tourists' enthusiasm. With everyone's help, they chose a spot for their tent to be with the others.

Chen Yuan took off the canvas bag, took out the tent inside, and then, with the guidance of an experienced tourist, set up their tent together with Lin Wanxing.
