正如水火不相容一样，沙漠和泉水也不可能共存。但是，对于被鸣沙山包围的月牙泉来说，情况并非如此。金色的沙丘和蓝色的湖泊和谐共存，这种反差形成了独特的美景。
月牙湖又名月牙泉。它是戈壁沙漠中的一个自然奇迹。顾名思义，它看起来像一轮新月，清澈的湖水就像镶嵌在茫茫沙漠中的一颗珍珠。有人说这让他们想起了一个美丽姑娘的眼睛——清澈、美丽、多情。
游客可以欣赏从日出到日落的湖面变化的场景——比如日出时的波光粼粼光和黄昏时刻如镜子一样的湖面。在黄昏这段时间，湖面映出了天上的彩霞和周围金色的沙丘。晚上，蓝色的霓虹灯环绕着湖面，就像地面上的一轮弯月。
研究表明，这一神秘的新月形地貌是自然界的风形成的。从周围山上落下的沙子会被风吹到附近鸣沙山的另一边。因此，沙子不会把月牙湖埋起来。这种自然现象使得沙丘和泉水保持着一种和谐，却又矛盾地存在着。
