The suitable travel season in Dunhuang is not only summer, but why is summer the peak travel season for Mogao Grottoes every year?

I went to Mogao Grottoes twice, once in autumn and once in summer. The reason why I chose to go during the peak travel season in summer is because I wanted to see what the characteristics of Mogao Grottoes are like in summer, which attract so many people every year. However, after going there, I felt a lot of regret.

In the hot summer, tourists are crowded, sweating and irritating. It is impossible to patiently appreciate the beautiful scenery of Mogao Grottoes. It is not as leisurely and peaceful as when I traveled in autumn. comfortable. So why is summer, when the experience is so poor, the peak season for traveling to Mogao Grottoes? Every place has a so-called off-peak travel season, which is created because people gather in groups at a certain time.

I observed the tourist group and found that most of them were adults with children. It suddenly dawned on me that one of the reasons for the peak travel rush was the large student population. Summer is the time for students to have summer vacation, and it is also the summer vacation for three important transition stages: primary school to junior high school, junior high school to high school, and college entrance examination. Such a good period is naturally the best time for parents to travel with their students. Moreover, the core connotation of Dunhuang tourism is cultural experience, which can not only relax their children, but also allow them to accept the influence of different cultures. Parents are naturally happy to have a win-win situation.

Another big reason is official publicity. In order to attract limited tourist flows, Dunhuang has been claiming that summer is the best time for local traditional tourism for many years. Due to long-term publicity and people's herd mentality, more and more people go to Dunhuang in summer, forming the so-called peak travel period.

Finally, it is recommended that you avoid the summer peak season. The crowds of people are overwhelming, and the beautiful scenery is compromised. In addition, in autumn, the weather is crisp and the melons and fruits are fragrant. In winter, it is wonderful to experience the colors of Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Spring.
