What is the Dunhuang travel guide?

Today, I will give you a detailed introduction to Dunhuang tourism strategy! Pay attention to your favorite friends!

Dunhuang is a famous town on the ancient Silk Road. In the long history of cultural exchanges between China and the West, it was once a gathering place for Chinese and Western cultural celebrities. Mogao Grottoes, Crescent Moon Spring in Mingsha Mountain, Ghost Town, Yumenguan, Yangguan and Han Great Wall. Magnificent natural landscape, colorful cultural landscape and rich cultural and historical heritage all attract us to visit this northwest pearl. So today, I will give you a Dunhuang Raiders!

1. History: The word Dunhuang has never been seen in textbooks. Dunhuang is located at the westernmost end of Hexi Corridor, Dun and Daye; Brilliant, prosperous and magnificent Dunhuang has a long history of more than 2,000 years and was once the throat of the famous Silk Road at home and abroad.

2. Culture: Dunhuang is the meeting point of various cultures, and China, Indian, Greek and Islamic cultures meet here. Dunhuang Mogao grottoes is a world cultural heritage and is known as the art museum of the eastern world.

3. Wonders: There is the 5A scenic spot of Ya Dan Ghost Town (Ya Dan Geopark), where you can feel the wonders of nature-the natural landscape of Ya Dan landform and the geological relics of Dunhuang. There are Mingsha Mountain, Crescent Moon Spring and Sand Spring, which are wonderful and natural. It is famous for its desert wonders.

4. Gourmet: Dunhuang cuisine, with its elegant taste, novel techniques, typical dishes and self-contained theory, stands out among the cuisines of 34 cities in China, ranking first among the eight new cuisines in China. The three major banquets in Dunhuang, namely, Dunhuang Banquet, Dream Dunhuang Banquet, and Dunhuang Music and Dance Banquet, are world-renowned, blending the essence of Dunhuang culture and local characteristics. Dunhuang locals like to eat sheep, chicken and beef, and pay special attention to the production of pasta. Dunhuang Dunhuang specialties, such as Dunhuang stuffed skin, Dunhuang minced meat noodles, donkey meat yellow noodles, mutton powder soup, etc., are the most common foods in Dunhuang streets and lanes. As a foodie, how can you not taste it?

The tour routes in Dunhuang are divided into east-west routes. Generally speaking, Yumenguan-Han Great Wall-Ya Dan is called the western line, and Mogao Grottoes-Mingshashan Crescent Spring is called the eastern line.

The western route is far away, so you can take a taxi/chartered car or take a day trip to the local area. After getting up early, I go to Ya Dan Geopark, which takes about two and a half hours by car. On the way, we will pass the Yumenguan ruins. Tickets for Yumenguan, Han Great Wall and Great Wall are sold in bundles, and the fare is 40 yuan.

yumenguan site

As we all know, Yumenguan originated from a poem "Liangzhou Ci" recited by Wang Zhihuan when he was a child: The Yellow River is far above Baiyun, Gucheng and Wan Ren. Why use the elegy of willow to complain about the delay of spring, old Yumenguan, not a spring breeze is blowing! It used to be the gateway to the western regions in the Western Han Dynasty, but now it has become an empty square mound, and the prosperity of the past can be imagined.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after defeating the Huns, he began to move Han residents to Hexi and then carry out agricultural development. Then station troops here and build the Great Wall to prevent the Huns from invading again. This was once an important part of the complete military defense system in Hexi in Han Dynasty. After more than 2000 years of wind and rain, the Great Wall of Han Dynasty is now deserted.

Admission: full price 120 yuan/person (50 yuan, 70 yuan).

Ya Dan landform, also known as wind erosion landform, has been seen in geography books before, but when you really come here, especially when you see the golden lion, the Sphinx, the standing peacock and the West Sea Fleet, you will still admire the ingenuity of nature!

Vehicles are not allowed to enter Ya Dan Ghost Town Scenic Area. You have to change at the scenic spot. If the budget permits, you can also go in by off-road vehicle. You can go further and have more free time. Generally, tourists take the northernmost route, and the southern line needs to rent an off-road vehicle in the scenic spot.

Matters needing attention

No matter how you get to the geological area of Ya Dan, don't try to leave the scenic bus and go hiking under the guidance of local people who are not familiar with the road. In June this year, a donkey friend got lost and called the police for help. His position is uncertain. He was killed. Don ignored the arrangement of the park and made the same mistake again! On the desolate Gobi desert, the terrain is almost the same. Without the sun, you can. I can't even tell the east from the west! There is no water, no living things, and sometimes there are small tornadoes in some areas. If the temperature is too high, the desert Gobi may even form a mirage. People will have hallucinations, and there is no signal in some areas. Once they get lost, the consequences are unimaginable!

Shazhou night market

After a day's play, I went back to Dunhuang to have a rest. Go to Shazhou Night Market in the evening and have a good time. Apricot water, minced meat noodles, syrup, stuffed cakes, mutton kebabs, Li Guangxing, famous jujube, purple peach, fragrant pear, white grapes, yellow river honeydew melon, crystal glass, crystal jewelry, jade white camel, Dunhuang silk carpet, statue, mural replica, luminous cup. I can wait.

Special products of the night market or some special souvenirs can be bargained. Generally, local people 10 began to close the stalls slowly. Clock, so you can go to see it first, don't buy it, buy it when you are ready to close the stall, and then bargain. You can save a lot of money by buying more things ~

Today, we mainly play a cultural shrine and a natural wonder. It's not far by car. Get up early and go to Mogao Grottoes. Take the green bus opposite the Mogao Hotel. Ticket price, 8 yuan. In the peak season, there is a bus about half an hour every day. In the off-season, there are few buses. The last bus is around 4pm, and you can take a taxi, probably around 60 yuan. In the peak season, the driver may just ask the price and not hit the meter.

Admission: advance ticket: 200 yuan/person, emergency ticket: 100 yuan/person.

The current quota of grottoes is 6,000 people/day, and online reservation is required in advance. If you don't have an appointment, you can only queue up at the ticket window with the original ID card one day in advance to buy an emergency ticket.

Before going to the physical grottoes, you can watch the theme digital movie "Millennium Mogao Grottoes" and the dome movie "Dream Buddha Hall" in the digital exhibition center to show the past lives of Mogao Grottoes in an all-round way, and then you can visit eight physical grottoes.

Emergency tickets can visit the four classic caves of Mogao Grottoes, the History Museum of Dunhuang Research Institute, and the Dunhuang Grottoes Cultural Relics Protection Research and Exhibition Center.

Taking pictures in caves is not allowed. It should know that every photo is harmful to murals, especially when there is flash, so pay special attention when you go in.

Admission: peak season 120 yuan/person (April1-June 3 1) and off season/80 yuan/person (June165438+1October1-March 3/kloc). Tickets for Mingsha Mountain can be fingerprinted, and you can enter the park with the ticket and fingerprint within three days. Camel 100 yuan/horse (about one hour), shoe cover rental 15 yuan/pair, sand skiing 15 yuan/person, beach motorcycle 200/ person.

Transportation: There is no direct bus to Mingsha Mountain in Mogao Grottoes. You need to take the green bus to the entrance of Jinshan Hotel in the city, and then change to the No.3 bus at the south gate of New World Shopping Mall. You can spend money to go to Crescent Spring or take a taxi. The cost is about 40-60, and there is no meter.

Since ancient times, fire and water are incompatible, and the desert spring is difficult to survive. But in Mingsha Mountain, you can see the strange sight of desert and spring water adjacent.

Matters needing attention

Mingshashan suggested going around four or five o; The afternoon clock. It won. Not too hot. Sunset time is about nine o'clock in the evening. It will be more beautiful to shoot the sunset at the top of the mountain.

Sand skiing, beach cycling and other projects must pay attention to safety and do what you can. When riding a camel, obey the arrangement of camel workers. When we get on and off the camel, when the camel gets up from its stomach, its front legs move first. You must grasp the handrail, or it will fall off or turn over from the bulge. When the camel leaves, don't take pictures and ignore safety.

Scarf: It's windy sometimes in Mingsha Mountain. If you don't mind, you and I will be blinded by the wind. Besides, some sunscreens or moisturizers are sticky. If y

The above is a simple two-day tour of Dunhuang, which is suitable for some people with short holidays, but some people have a long journey to the northwest. Since I have been here once, I have to choose a time to have enough time to have similar feelings in the northwest, except Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Crescent Spring in Mingsha Mountain, Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake, Colorful Danxia in Zhangye and Jiayuguan. It would be a pity if these places could not be experienced together. Recommend the following routes to those who have plenty of holidays, and take a 9-day tour around the Qinggan Ring Road:

D 1. Arrive in Xining

D2. Xining-Ta 'er Temple-Sun Moon Mountain-Qinghai Lake

D3. Qinghai Lake-Chaka Salt Lake-Delingha Watch Sunrise

D4. Qaidam Basin-Crook Lake-Dunhuang

D5. Yumenguan-Ya Dan Ghost Town-Mingshashan Crescent Spring

D6. Mogao Grottoes-Jiayuguan

D7. Jiayuguan Tower-Colorful Danxia in Zhangye

D8. Zhangye-Chelan Qilian Mountain Prairie-Gangshika Snow Mountain-Biandukou-Menyuan Hui Folk Village

D9. Menyuan-Xining

Traveling around the northwest, semi-free taxis/chartered cars are the first choice for most people. Due to the vast territory of northwest China, scattered destination attractions and inconvenient transportation, it is not only economical and worry-free, but also more fun to make full use of the time and energy spent on the road where it should be used.

Dunhuang is located at the intersection of Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang. Compared with most cities, this is a very remote place. There are four main ways to come to Dunhuang:

First, direct flights.

Dunhuang has an airport, but only some cities have flights to Dunhuang (Beijing, Shanghai, Han, Ning, An, Cheng and Hangzhou). There are not many direct flights, and some cities in the middle need to transfer to Xi 'an, and the price is relatively high. Basically, it's about 2500 one way. If funds are sufficient or urban conditions permit, you can consider visiting Dunhuang in this way.

Second, go to Lanzhou by train.

This is the most cost-effective way. There are 4 trains from Lanzhou to Dunhuang, with hard sleeper 26 1.5 yuan and soft sleeper 398.5 yuan. They set out at night and arrived in Dunhuang the next morning. Recommend Y667 times. It's still early to arrive in Dunhuang. Not only can you put your luggage back in the hotel before going out to play, but it is also more suitable for you to find a local carpool.

Y669 and Y673 are recommended for return flights. Arrive in Lanzhou earlier and have a wider range of return flights.

Lanzhou is a transportation hub in the northwest of China, with many cheap flights. Most cities in China are basically covered, and more importantly, the price is generally about half cheaper than flying to Dunhuang. So I personally suggest that if you want to come to Dunhuang, you can fly to Lanzhou first, and then buy a hard sleeper or soft sleeper train to sleep for one night before you can get to Dunhuang! And at dawn, you can also see the Silk Road along the way.

Transportation from Lanzhou Airport to Lanzhou Railway Station;

A taxi is about 200.

Airport bus/taxi: The airport bus goes to Dongfang Hotel (near Lanzhou University), and Lanzhou University transfers to bus11bus 13 1 or taxi 10 yuan, which is less than 2km from Lanzhou Railway Station. Shuttle interval: adjusted with flight time, fare: 30 yuan.

Bus: Take bus No.4 in the new area at the airport's Family Courtyard Station, go to Shi Lan Group, get off at Qilukou Station, transfer to bus No.5 in the new area, get off at Shengren New District Branch Station, then transfer to bus No.601,and get off at Lan Station, which is within walking distance.

PS. Recently, some sections of Lanzhou are under construction. It is suggested that the big traffic to Lanzhou land three and a half hours before the departure time of the train. If there are many bags or some are old and small, it is recommended to land half an hour in advance.

3. Take a bus from Xining to Dunhuang.

There is a shuttle bus every day at Xining Passenger Transport Center Station. The departure time is 1 1 am, and the fare is 229 yuan. The mileage is about1048km. The model is a large middle berth, which lasts about 13 hours at most.

Fourth, charter a car.

If there are many people, you can also choose to charter a car from Xining or Lanzhou to Dunhuang. You can also visit more cities on the way, but you must be careful when renting a car. Don't choose that kind of car, private car or black car. Be sure to choose a car with formal operating qualifications. I suggest you think about it when there are many people.

Generally speaking, people come to Dunhuang from April to October. During this period, there were many large-scale activities (such as the Eighth Temple Fair, Sand-sliding Festival, Silk Road Festival, etc.). ).), and you can enjoy many local ethnic customs. 165438+ Dunhuang1The temperature is relatively low from October to March, and there are many sandstorms in spring and summer, which is not particularly suitable for traveling to Dunhuang. The biggest advantage of going to Dunhuang in the off-season is to save money, which is basically the fare and entertainment.

1. Sunscreen equipment: Dunhuang has strong ultraviolet rays and dry climate. Sunscreen, umbrellas, sunscreens and sunglasses should be ready.

There are many ethnic minority restaurants in the local area, so be prepared to do as the Romans do.

If you want to buy souvenirs, you can go to Shazhou Market on Yangguan East Road, where there are not only local snacks with unique flavor, but also many Dunhuang specialties. The best thing to take home is dried meat (I think you can buy some of this. The meat quality of free-range cattle and sheep is much better than that of mass production in factories, and it does not contain antibiotics and hormones.

4. Dunhuang has a large temperature difference between day and night, so you should bring relevant clothes and prepare short-sleeved and long-sleeved coats.

I hope I can help friends who travel, and friends who like it remember to forward the collection and share it with more friends in need!

First, you must bring sunscreen products, because the ultraviolet rays of the Dunhuang sun are particularly strong, and it is easy to tan without sunscreen products. Such as sunglasses, hats, umbrellas, etc. Second, you can visit some scenic spots all over the country during the day. If you don't want to go on holiday, many scenic spots will be open for free. But be sure to take care of your belongings. Third, you can go to the snack street at night. The snack street in Dunhuang is famous, crowded and lively.

When you travel to Dunhuang, you must visit the Mogao Grottoes, Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring, which are the classic attractions of Dunhuang. I suggest that you can also go to go on road trip and visit neighboring cities, such as Lanzhou and Qinghai Lake.

Ten must-see attractions, Mogao Grottoes, Crescent Moon Spring in Mingsha Mountain, Ghost Town, Yumenguan, Yangguan and Han Great Wall. Magnificent natural landscape, colorful cultural landscape and rich cultural and historical heritage all attract us to visit this bright northwest pearl.

Generally don't go in winter, the weather is very cold, and there are few tourists and they are not busy. S best to go from May to September and have a good time.
