- As oil and water don't mix, so do springs and deserts, but the Crescent Lake/Spring is an exception. Surrounded by the Echoing-Sand Mountain, the Crescent Lake gets its name since it resembles a crescent falling down into this desert. Having been attacked by sandstorms frequently, the Crescent Spring still gurgles clearly and remains worthy as the first spring in the desert. Attraction Intro: Crescent Lake
