On July 25 (local time), a huge sand storm struck Dunhuang, located near the Gobi Desert, the world’s fourth-largest desert in northwestern China. The appearance of Dunhuang swallowed by a sandstorm reminds us of a scene in a horror movie that depicts mankind being attacked by a natural disaster.
A giant sandstorm photographed by a Twitter user reveals sand dust over the roof of a building. If you change the camera angle, you can see that it’s not a sandstorm, it’s a huge sandstorm. Comparing it to a seventh or tenth floor apartment, you can imagine just how huge the sandstorm is. The whole field of view is covered by a sandstorm.
According to local reports in Dunhuang, the sandstorm appeared suddenly and engulfed the street for about 5-6 minutes. Sandstorms occur every spring in the area, but rarely in summer. Related information can be found here.
