One dream enters Dunhuang, a glance spans a thousand years

One dream enters Dunhuang, a glance spans a thousand years. 🌈 🏜Deserts, Gobi, scorching sun, and the desolate scenery devoid of human presence The poetry and songs of the past All endow Dunhuang with a desolate beauty🏜 🌵After visiting Dunhuang, I can't stop thinking about it The sunrise at Mingsha Mountain, the howling of the Devil's City, the history of Yumen Pass, and the murals of the Mogao Caves Shining with brilliance through the millennia, incredibly stunning!! Dunhuang's must-visit Mogao Caves Extremely impressive! It's like stepping into the 'Hexi Corridor' documentary. Tickets are hard to come by during the peak season, it is recommended to buy tickets one month in advance, and photography is not allowed in the Mogao Caves~ ☘️Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring It's best to go during sunrise or sunset, so you won't be in the sun for too long!! Riding camels in the desert, there are also sand sliding and desert motorbike activities. ☘️Yadan Devil City This place is at a wind vent, as if devils are howling, hence the name Devil City. Buy a sunset ticket so you can walk to the end just in time for the sunset, which is particularly spectacular. ☘️Yumen Pass The strategic throat of the Silk Road, 'The spring breeze never passes Yumen Pass' refers to this place, and it's more interesting to follow a guide here. ☸️West Thousand Buddha Caves Here you can find the charm of a post station, traces of life. Just as amazing as the Mogao Caves, but with weaker protection, it's uncertain when it might disappear. Dunhuang's 3 major performances ☸️'Encounter Dunhuang' again Encounter Dunhuang Theatre, 9 kilometers from the city center, another new highlight of Dunhuang's cultural tourism, I can only say you must see it! It's very worthwhile! ☸️'Dunhuang Grand Ceremony' Near Mingsha Mountain, themed on the Silk Road, it celebrates love in a bold way, the only large-scale desert live performance in the northwest ☸️'Silk Road Flower Rain' The Dunhuang Grand Theatre, dancers on stage with exquisite costumes and graceful dance moves present the living Mogao Caves murals, recommended for those who love dance or seek artistic inspiration in Dunhuang 🍜Dunhuang Cuisine ✔️Shazhou Night Market: Gravy sheep's head, donkey meat noodles, firecracker noodles, apricot peel water, Jiayuguan barbecue, sand onion beef pancakes, roasted whole lamb, grilled fish, and various barbecues ✔️Silu Apricot Peel Tea: Ice egg milk sweet ferment, sweet rice wine are all Northwest specialties ✔️Guohui Hu Yang Braised Pancakes: Hu Yang braised pancakes are a Dunhuang specialty, and sand onion scrambled eggs are very unique! 🚘Transportation 1️⃣From all over the country - Plane/High-speed train to Lanzhou - Dunhuang 2️⃣Dunhuang city is not big, the starting price for a taxi ride is 5 yuan 🏩Accommodation It is recommended to stay in Dunhuang city, if you want to see the sunrise and sunset, book a hotel next to Crescent Spring, especially remind that the accommodation conditions in the northwest are somewhat different from the coastal areas~ 🌐Dunhuang, a place that unsettles the heart if not visited in this lifetime
