I grew up in Dunhuang. Dunhuang. It is recommended to come to 10 in August, because the weather is not very hot. The famous Li Guangxing has also matured.

The best time for Dunhuang tourism is from the beginning of May to the end of June. The temperature in Dunhuang is not very high at this time, but it is relatively cool. Is it necessary to pay attention to the notice? Big temperature difference between morning and evening? This sentence, as well as the typical dry climate in Dunhuang, should drink more water.

The second phase is from mid-September to the end of 10, avoiding the highest temperature season in Dunhuang, with crisp autumn and pleasant scenery. Choose this period to travel to Dunhuang, and you can also taste some local agricultural and sideline products, all of which are green food.

Dunhuang taboo

1. In summer, the temperature in Dunhuang is about 34℃ ~ 14℃. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the temperature is slightly lower than that in the mainland. In addition, many areas have high altitude and strong ultraviolet radiation.

2. The tourist attractions in Dunhuang are long, scattered and monotonous, and it takes a long time by car and train. Please prepare food, poker, etc. In addition, a pair of shoes that are comfortable, fit and easy to walk is particularly important.

3. Drug prevention: The Silk Road is far away, and the climate difference is too great, which makes it difficult for tourists to adapt for a while, and there may be symptoms of acclimatization. Tourists need to bring related drugs: band-aid, cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, etc. But there are also many local pharmacies in Dunhuang, so it is generally difficult to bring more.

There are ethnic minorities in Dunhuang, and there are many ethnic snacks in Shazhou Night Market. Muslims and Hui people don't eat pork, which is the biggest taboo in their lives. You must not offend, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding.

Friendly reminder:

1. If you want to slide sand, please close your eyes when you are near the bottom of the valley, and you'd better wear a mask, because the small bamboo raft will raise dust.

2. Mountain climbing: If you climb the sand mountain by yourself, it will take about 1.5 hours. In addition, you can choose to ride camels, motorcycles, mountain bikes, off-road vehicles and so on. To climb to the high point of the desert, you can also take a bird's eye view of the desert by human glider. Price: camel from 40 yuan/person (probably), with a fixed route, long-distance money increase, about 40 minutes. Motorcycle mountain bike, 150/ car, remote money, self-driving and staff driving, about 30 minutes. Self-driving off-road vehicle (2020), about 200-300 yuan/vehicle, can be driven by staff, the time is relatively free, negotiable. The humanoid glider seems to be 160 yuan/person, hovering over the crescent spring in Mingsha Mountain, and it is estimated that it will take about 10 minutes. The basic route is to cross the sand mountain.

3. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk from Yueya Spring in Mingshashan Island at the entrance. You can choose 10 yuan/Renren's electric car, and it takes 5 minutes to arrive. You can also go by camel.

4. Be prepared for sun protection and wear light-colored sun protection clothes. 10 yuan/Set You can rent a shoe cover at the entrance (you can lift your knees) to prevent sand from entering the shoes and also prevent sand from scalding your feet.

5. The best place to shoot Crescent Moon Spring and enjoy the sunset in the desert is the mountainside of Shashan next to Crescent Moon Spring, but the disadvantage is that there will be some backlight in the afternoon.

6. When you reach the top of Mingsha Mountain, you can bring back bottled sand. It is said that the sand here is the finest, softest and cleanest, and it also bears witness to strength and courage.

7. The temperature difference between day and night is large, so get ready for the sunset. In addition, back water, scenic water is expensive.

8. The desert is vast, don't run around, be careful to get lost. It's not really big. I just didn't have a concept before going. I'm afraid I'll get into trouble? Sahara? )

9. There will be a two-hour time difference with the mainland. You may have to prepare for the time difference when you first arrive in Dunhuang. (Fortunately, I took the train for one day and two nights before, and I had enough rest, but it will be reflected in the mobile phone conversation. 2 1: 00, my family called to ask if I had slept, and replied: it is not dark yet. )

Finally, I wish you a comfortable, cozy and safe silk trip.
