Ten popular attractions that Dunhuang must visit.

Dunhuang belongs to Jiuquan city. When Bian Xiao was looking for the geographical location of Jiuquan, he only knew Jiuquan. The address of Dunhuang is also extremely wonderful, at the junction of Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang provinces. Travel to Dunhuang is generally divided into two tourist routes: east and west. The scenic spots in the east are mainly Mogao Grottoes and Mingsha Mountain. There are few choices and it is close to the city. So most people will choose the scenic spots in the west, which are more than 300 kilometers long. Let's have a look!

Mogao Grottoes

Bian Xiao reminds everyone here that the tickets for the Mogao Grottoes should be booked in advance and sold 30 days in advance. You must buy tickets in advance before going. The Mogao Grottoes are the intangible heritage of China. People who have been there say that it is the most reasonable scenic spot in China, with perfect protection and detailed explanation. 5-star praise, it must be a pity to go to Dunhuang instead of Mogao Grottoes.

You can take a taxi directly in the city, or you can take the bus 12 in front of the Silk Road Yiyuan Hotel to the Mogao Grottoes Digital Exhibition Center.

Ya Dan National Geopark

Ya Dan National Geopark, also known as ghost town, has a special geographical position. After entering, the cell phone has no signal at all, and the compass can't be used. It feels like a ghost blowing a lamp in a novel. Remember not to go sightseeing alone. All the people who have been there are deeply impressed by nature. It's even scarier at night. So it's called a ghost town.

It can be seen that there were many people coming and going at Yumenguan at that time. Thousands of years have passed, and Yumenguan seems to be a pile of rammed earth. It is inevitable that it is a bit sad to think of the prosperous times.
