The resonant sand mountain stands 110 meters high and 200 meters wide with a 45-degree slope, covered with clean, uniformly sized sand grains. As you glide down on a sand sled, the sand produces ever-changing resonant sounds — deep as giant bronze bells, soft as tiny insects whispering. The noise rises when you move and fades the moment you stop. Churning sand waves paired with the magical sand hum deliver boundless joy and thrills.

A poetic line describes it: "Half golden sand, half blue sky; a ladder in the clouds hangs atop the peak." Board the world’s exclusive desert cable car for an unparalleled desert experience.
