How much is the student ticket for Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes? Is it half price? How many days can I visit all the caves? Do I have to pay 20 yuan's lecture fee?

Full admission 160, 80 in off-season, half price for student tickets, each foreign language visit 180 yuan (including 20 yuan foreign language explanation fee), and the explanation fee is not mandatory!

The average game can be played in three days. The following is the witness's strategy for your reference!

My plan

Day 1: Arrive in Dunhuang in the morning and go to the most famous Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang in the afternoon. Go to Shazhou Night Market in the evening.

The next day: Yumenguan-Han Great Wall-Ya Dan National Geopark (Ghost Town)-West Thousand Buddha Cave-Dunhuang Film and Television Ancient City.

Day 3: Mingsha Mountain-Crescent Spring, leaving Dunhuang in the afternoon.

There are two trains to Dunhuang, one is K9667 (Lanzhou-Dunhuang) and the other is K59 1 (Xi 'an-Dunhuang). Of course, there are flights from Lanzhou and Xi 'an to Dunhuang. It takes about 1 hour to get to Dunhuang, but I have limited funds, so I choose the economical train. Actually, it's a long journey by train. I met a Korean on the train. Children are so cute. Haha ~ ~ If you are a friend outside Gansu, you can go to Lanzhou by train or plane (some places have special air tickets to Lanzhou), play in Lanzhou 1 day and then take the train to Dunhuang.

My personal suggestion is to take K9667, which is very suitable for the time! Because I arrived at 7: 46 the next morning, I can go to the hotel to rest and start playing when I arrive in the morning.

PS: If you have a student ID card or something, be sure to bring it. Tickets can save a lot of money! I am a student ID card, and all tickets are half price.

Day 1 Travel Day 1, Transportation: Lanzhou (train) Dunhuang Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes Mogao Grottoes (bus) Dunhuang Railway Station (taxi) Dunhuang Party School Hotel Accommodation: Dunhuang Party School Hotel Destination: Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes Dunhuang Party School Hotel Attractions: Mogao Grottoes

The first morning, I arrived in Dunhuang by train K9667.

What surprises me most about Dunhuang Railway Station is that. . . It's far from the city, and it takes more than ten minutes by taxi. As soon as we leave the station, we can see many taxis carrying passengers. You can take a taxi from 20 yuan to downtown, or you can carpool with several people. 5- 10 yuan/person, and there is a green bus 3-5 yuan. I told the hotel in advance and asked him to arrange a taxi to pick us up. 13 yuan. Every hotel should have a pick-up service. You can ask them when you book a hotel.

There is a sculpture playing the pipa in the city, which is very good. You can go and have a look.

I live in Dunhuang Party School Hotel, which is cheaper, but there is no hot water all day. Because it is solar energy, it is really inconvenient to turn on the tap for a long time before the hot water comes out. But the hotel service is really good. I recommend Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes Hotel, which is not very expensive, standard room 150 yuan, and it is very close to the city center, with a bus stop nearby, so it is convenient to travel.

In terms of accommodation, there are not only hotels in Dunhuang, but also hotels with various stars. Moreover, there is Dunhuang International Youth Hostel. If the accommodation requirements are not high and you plan to save money, it is recommended to book an international youth hostel.

PS: Dunhuang bus fare 1 yuan, coin-operated. But if there is no change, the only bus lines that drivers can get change are 1, 2, 3 and 3.

Mogao Grottoes

There are two options to get to the Mogao Grottoes: 1 Take a taxi to 40 yuan (you can bargain to 35 yuan). (Multi-person carpooling is cost-effective) 2 Take CMB (next to Mogao Hotel, there is a green bus for almost half an hour every day in peak season, rarely in off-season, and the last bus is around 4 pm), and each person will take 8 yuan.

The ticket price of the Mogao Grottoes is 80 yuan/person in low season and 60 yuan/person in high season. The student ID card can be half price.

The visit to the Mogao Grottoes is guided by a special guide. There is a tour guide for every 10 people at the entrance, and the number of caves visited by each tour guide is different. If you haven't finished, you can secretly find another tour guide to continue listening.

The impression of Mogao Grottoes is shocking! There are many caves, and each cave has its own characteristics. Because I studied art, I was deeply infected and learned a lot.

There is also a museum opposite the ticket office, which is open for free. You can go and see it sometime.

PS: In order to protect cultural relics, it is forbidden to take photos and bring cameras inside the Mogao Grottoes. There is a place at the entrance where cameras can be parked for free. Moreover, according to the tour guide, a "Digital Mogao Grottoes" will be built in the Mogao Grottoes next year. After that, visitors can only watch the Mogao Grottoes through pictures and videos, and can't visit the grottoes in person. So if you don't go, go quickly ~

Go back to the hotel to rest, and at 7 pm, come to the famous "Shazhou Night Market" in the center of Dunhuang. There are all kinds of delicious food in it, including "yellow noodles of donkey meat" with Dunhuang local characteristics (yellow noodles of donkey meat are separated, a catty of donkey meat is 38 yuan, and a bowl of yellow noodles 10 yuan. ) Apricot skin water (5 yuan a can), cold rice noodles, Korean food, casserole and so on. Basically, every night after that, I have dinner here.

There are not only delicious food here, but also some handmade souvenirs for sale, but the price is relatively expensive, so you can consider buying them as appropriate.

The next day's itinerary, transportation: Yumenguan-Han Great Wall in Dunhuang City (by car)-Ya Dan National Geopark-West Thousand Buddha Cave-Dunhuang Ancient City Accommodation: Dunhuang Party School Hotel Destination: Yumenguan-Han Great Wall-Ya Dan National Geopark-West Thousand Buddha Cave-Dunhuang Ancient City Attractions: Yumenguan-Han Great Wall Ya Dan National Geopark (ghost town) West Thousand Buddha Cave Dunhuang Ancient City.

Dunhuang West Line Opera

The West Line of Dunhuang mainly includes scenic spots: Yumenguan-Han Great Wall-Ya Dan National Geopark (Ghost Town)-West Thousand Buddha Cave-Dunhuang Film and Television Ancient City.

There are two options for visiting the western route of Dunhuang: 1 chartered car, and the cost is about 300-500 yuan. The advantage is that there is no time limit, and you can go to places that ordinary individual travelers don't go to (such as Yangguan and Hezang City). 2 FIT team, the cost is about 65-80 yuan. The advantage is relatively cheap. (2, 3 people, the number is relatively small, it is recommended to join the group individually. )

The day before yesterday, I found an individual group, a 78 yuan (excluding tickets, just the round-trip fare), a group of 10 people, and a Jinbei van. You can also make an appointment through your own hotel, which will be cheaper and should be around 65 yuan. It should also be noted that it takes a whole day to go to the western line, and there is no place to sell food and drink. You need to buy water and food with you in advance.

Usually leave at 7: 30 in the morning and return to the city after 5: 00 in the afternoon.

Yumenguan-Han Great Wall

It takes about 20 minutes to drive to Yumenguan, Yumenguan and Han Great Wall, and only one ticket is charged. The ticket price is 40 yuan (half price for student ID card), and one scenic spot is Hezang City. However, individual travelers generally don't go to Hezang City, only chartered cars, and you only go after asking.

Personally, I think Yumenguan site is a bit deceptive. . . . Just this one thing, it is surrounded by Gobi. The tour will take about 15-20 minutes.

Yumenguan was first set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he opened the road to the Western Regions and set up four counties in Hexi, so it was named after the jade introduced from the Western Regions. In the Han Dynasty, it was the gateway to the western regions, so it was located in Xiaofangcheng, northwest of Dunhuang, Gansu. When the Great Wall between Jiuquan and Yumen was built in Ding Yuan or Yuanfeng (BC 1 16-BC 105), Yumen Pass was established. According to the Records of Geography of Hanshu, Yumenguan Pass and another important pass, Yangguan Pass, are both located in Longle County, Dunhuang County, where Dewey ruled and where troops were stationed. At that time, the traffic between the Central Plains and the Western Regions had to pass through two passes, which used to be an important military pass and the main road of the Silk Road traffic in the Han Dynasty.

It can be seen from the remains of the Great Wall of Han Dynasty that it is very old. Sand erosion, some out of sight. The tour will take about 15-20 minutes.

In addition to the main line of the Han Great Wall from Jiandun to Mamutu, there are also branches of the Han Great Wall from Yumenguan to Yangguan, Yangguan to Danghekou and Mamutu to Bend Pier at the northern end of Dunhuang. With the passage of more than two thousand years and the destruction of wind, rain and quicksand, part of the Great Wall was razed to the ground and most of it was preserved. Among them, the Great Wall around the Danggu Tunnel to the west of Yumenguan is well preserved, with a foundation width of 3 meters, a residual height of 3 meters and a top width of 1 meter, which is the most complete section of the Great Wall in Han Dynasty in China.

The farthest scenic spot on the west line of Ya Dan National Geopark is here, more than 80 kilometers away from Yumenguan. Tickets to 50 yuan, a scenic spot in 30 yuan and sightseeing bus (April 1 from 25 yuan to 30 yuan). After waiting for 10 minutes, a sightseeing bus arrived, but it was occupied by a tour group. . . . So, the driver of the car we assembled together drove us around, but the trick is. . . The scenic spot will not be returned to sightseeing bus for you! ! !

It takes about 1 hour to complete the tour.

Ya Dan landform is a typical wind erosion landform. "Ya Dan" means "a mountain with steep walls" in Uighur. Due to wind erosion, the lower part of the hill often suffers from strong erosion and gradually forms an inward concave shape. If the upper part of the mountain is loose, it is easy to collapse under the action of gravity to form a steep wall, forming Ya Dan landform. Some terrains look like ancient castles, entering Ya Dan. When the wind blows, the ghost becomes dense and can't turn out at night. Locals usually call Ya Dan a "ghost town".

When I went to the West Thousand Buddha Cave, only one guide was showing these tourists around. Because time was tight, I didn't visit the West Thousand Buddha Cave. If you have time, you can go and have a look. Very good. Admission is 20 yuan/person, and student ID card is half price. But our driver said that if you have been to the Mogao Grottoes, there is no need to watch this again. . . .

Located on the cliff on the north bank of Danghe River, 35 kilometers southwest of Dunhuang City, it is named after being located on the west side of Mogao Grottoes, and it is only separated from Mogao Grottoes by Mingsha Mountain. There are 0/6 existing caves/kloc-,most of which were dug in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and only 9 can be seen. Others can only look up from the cliff because they can't board the ship. Under the east seat of the pillar in the fifth cave of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there are vows written by Buddhist disciple Tan Zang for the statues of his late grandparents and parents, and there are still more than 70 words to be distinguished. This original calligraphy of the Northern Wei Dynasty is extremely precious and has high historical value.

In fact, there is nothing to visit in Dunhuang ancient city, but a film and television shooting base, where many films are shot. There are Tales of Two Cities, Romance of Gods, Roaring Sword and Crazy Sand, Xinlongmen Inn, Night Talk in Dunhuang, Prince of Shazhou, Mirage, etc.

Dunhuang Ancient City, also known as Shazhou Imitation of Song Dynasty and Dunhuang Film City, is a large-scale historical feature film Dunhuang co-produced by China and China 1987. Based on the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival in Song Dynasty, it is a humanistic landscape and film shooting base designed and built by Japan with reference to the ancient Japanese architectural style. The building area is 1.27 million square meters, which is located in the desert Gobi south of expressway from Dunhuang to Yangguan, 25 kilometers away from the city center.

The gate of Dunhuang ancient city has a feeling of crossing, because it is off-season, so there are basically no people and it is very empty.

After visiting the ancient city of Dunhuang, the driver will take everyone to their hotel, and those who catch the train will be sent directly to the railway station. This is good! It's already 5 pm downtown. Go back to the hotel to have a rest and eat in Shazhou snacks.

PS: It takes a whole day to visit the western line of Dunhuang. All friends who plan to go must set aside time. And if you want to catch the train after 5 o'clock that night, remember to tell the driver in advance and plan the play time so as not to delay the train.

Day 3 Travel Day 3, Transportation: Dunhuang City (Bus) Mingsha Mountain-Crescent Spring Dunhuang City (Taxi) Dunhuang Railway Station Dunhuang (Train) Lanzhou Mingsha Mountain-Crescent Spring (Bus) Dunhuang Accommodation: Destination: Mingsha Mountain-Crescent Spring Dunhuang Railway Station Lanzhou Dunhuang City Attractions: Mingsha Mountain-Crescent Spring

On the third morning, I got up to pack my things and went out to eat at noon. Then go to Mingsha Mountain-Crescent Spring in the afternoon. You can take bus No.3 in the city center, 1 yuan/person, and the terminal is Mingsha Mountain. But there is no parking lot at the gate, about 200 meters away from the gate. You need to get off and walk to the ticket office.

I suggest you try to go in the morning and after 5 pm. First of all, these two periods will not be particularly hot. Secondly, after going at 5 pm, you can watch the sunset at night, and the scenery is very good!

Since the hotel checked out on 12, I left my luggage (valuables with me) at the front desk of the hotel after checking out, and then set off for Mingsha Mountain-Crescent Spring.

Yue Quan in Mingsha Mountain is inside Mingsha Mountain, so only one ticket is charged for the two scenic spots. The price is 120 yuan/person, and the student ID card is half price.

Mingsha Mountain is a national key scenic spot. Located at the northern foot of Mingsha Mountain, seven kilometers south of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province, it covers an area of about 200 square kilometers, starting from the cliff top of Mogao Grottoes in the east and connecting Danghe Reservoir in the west. The whole mountain consists of fine-grained yellow sand. When the wind blows wildly, the sand mountain will make a loud noise, and the breeze will blow like a orchestral bamboo, hence the name Mingsha Mountain. There are two strange places in Mingsha Mountain: if people fall from the top of the mountain, the sand under their feet will whine; The footprints left by people who climbed the sand mountain during the day were gone the next day. Mingsha Mountain and Sha Feng are undulating, and the mountain is "like a dragon winding" and glittering like a golden mountain. Mingsha Mountain was once called "Shajiao Mountain". Located on the edge of Tengger Desert, together with Shapotou in Zhongwei County of Ningxia, Xiangshawan in Dalat Banner of Inner Mongolia and Bakun Town in Bakun Kazak Autonomous County of Xinjiang, it is one of the four famous mountains in China.

Crescent Spring is surrounded by Mingsha Mountain, with a length of about 150m and a width of about 50m. It is named because the water is like a crescent moon. The source of Crescent Moon Spring is Danghe River. With the continuous filling of the river, surrounded by yellow sand, the spring water is clear and beautiful, and it is amazing that it will not dry up for thousands of years. Unfortunately, since the 1990s, Danghe River and Crescent Spring have been cut off, so we can only use artificial methods to maintain the current situation of spring water. Because pavilions have been built next to Crescent Spring, plus undulating sand hills, clear spring water and brilliant sunset, the scenery is not bad. There is a place to rent shoe covers and ride camels on the right after entering the door. It is strongly recommended that you wear shoe covers (20 yuan/pair), otherwise the consequences will be very serious. . . . You can also step on the sand barefoot, because the sand is fine and comfortable to step on.

There are SUVs and motorcycles on the left after entering the door. Friends who like excitement can try it. And gliders. If you want to fly into the sky and have a bird's eye view of Mingsha Mountain, you can take a glider. It's more expensive and the flight time is not very long.

Turn right after entering the door, and you will see Crescent Moon Spring in about 10- 15 minutes. If you want to go sand skiing, you should walk to the left after entering the door. It is a long distance and you need to bring camels (80 animals). A camel can take two people. If it's a couple, it's good to take one.

Dunhuang-Lanzhou

Personally, I think three days is just right, neither too tight nor too loose. It's easier to play and you won't be in a hurry. Dunhuang is also a very good place. If you have time, you can visit Dunhuang. If time permits, you can go to Jiayuguan again. Jiayuguan is also very good. I think many places can go by bus, so there is no need to take a taxi. You can save a lot of money. There will be buses to the west line during the tourist season, and the price is quite expensive. Not only will there be fewer people traveling to Dunhuang in the off-season, but the expenses such as accommodation and tickets will not be particularly expensive, so I suggest that you can travel in the off-season and have different feelings.
