Others floated on the far horizon.“You mean the singing sands?” I asked. On my map, an asterisk marked this strange feature of the Kumtag Desert, three miles from Dunhuang. If you throw yourself down the dunes in that place, the air resonates — sometimes like the lowest note on a cello; sometimes like a crack of thunder. en Translations desert Chinese: Mandarin: cmn 庫姆塔格沙漠, cmn 庫木塔格沙漠 Finnish: fi Kumtagin autiomaa Japanese: ja Korean: ko
