BlissfulWanderlust

While everyone went to the northeast, I headed to the northwest and

It's really wonderful! I must take the kids to Dunhuang during the winter vacation! Say goodbye to the noisy crowds and the endless queuing. You'll find that there are very few tourists at each attraction, and the prices for hotel accommodations are particularly stable!!! ✨ In 5 days, travel through ancient and modern times across ten countries, and embrace the great Northwest. Visit 12 caves that are only open to the public during the off-season. Observe the millennium-old grottoes: Dunhuang caves, Yulin caves, and the Western Thousand Buddha Caves. Immerse yourself in the history of Dunhuang, planting a seed of culture for the children🌱 ✨ Watch the sunset in the endless desert, set off fireworks... Whether it's cultural experiences or scenic beauty, it's all top-notch. The photos shared on social media have blown up with questions! Why is it worth going to Dunhuang in winter (December-March)? 1️⃣ Great value for money, discounts on attraction tickets, and much cheaper flights compared to the peak season. 2️⃣ Fewer tourists, double the experience, and often the joy of having the place to yourself. 3️⃣ The number of caves open to visitors has increased to 12, which is really worth it! 4️⃣ There's a chance to see the desert set against the snow, a sight with a profound sense of history. ✈️ How to get there Dunhuang is located at the western end of the great Northwest, with most flights transferring through Lanzhou or Xi'an. You can choose to arrive in a nearby city the night before for a visit, then head to Dunhuang. 🌟 Dunhuang 5-Day In-Depth Winter Tour Itinerary DAY1-DAY2 Dunhuang - Western Thousand Buddha Caves - Yumen Pass - Devil City - Dunhuang DAY3-DAY5 Yulin Caves - Mogao Caves - Clay Painting - Dunhuang 🌈 Attractions worth visiting 📍 'World Cultural Heritage' Mogao Caves ✔️ Watch films at the digital center 'Millennium Mogao' and 'Fantasy Buddha Palace' ✔️ Accompanied by a guide for an in-depth visit, explore the murals and colored sculptures' secret history ✔️ Listen to historical stories, converse with the glory of the Tang Dynasty 📍 'Sister Caves of Mogao' Yulin Caves Besides visiting the caves, take a leisurely walk along the Yulin River Feel the vitality of the oasis on the desert Gobi 📍 'Eye of the Gobi' Western Thousand Buddha Caves Listen to the Jataka tales not found in the Northern Wei caves of Mogao, filling the gap with unique value 📍 Devil City China's stunningly beautiful No.2 Yardang, we take an off-road vehicle deep into the area, for a more in-depth exploration and to take various blockbuster shots 📍 Yumen Pass An important pass on the 'Silk Road', driving on the Gobi highway, the scattered oases bring life to the sandy world.
