In which months are the off-season months for traveling to Dunhuang?

The best time to travel to Dunhuang is from May to October every year. Dunhuang is deep inland, blocked by high mountains and far away from humid ocean air currents. It has an extremely dry continental climate, with an average annual temperature of 9.3°C, an average temperature of 24.7°C in July and 9.3°C in January. It is dry and rainless all year round, with a huge temperature difference between day and night. There are two natural disasters here every spring: hot dry winds and black sandstorms. If you go there at this time, you should take precautions in advance. The best time to visit Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is early autumn, that is, September or October. In this season, the sky is clear, the temperature is comfortable, the wind and sand are light, it is not that dry, and the vegetation is rich, making everything comfortable. However, this is the peak season, so tickets, accommodation, transportation, and food will be relatively expensive. However, it is crowded at this time. If time permits, it is best to go in the off-season. The biggest advantage of visiting Dunhuang in the off-season is to save money. At this time, the ticket prices for all Dunhuang attractions (except Yangguan Museum) are halved (such as Mogao Grottoes: 160 yuan for domestic guests in peak season and 180 yuan for foreign guests, of which 20 yuan is the explanation fee; 80 yuan for domestic guests and 100 yuan for foreign guests in off-season). You can also bargain for entertainment items in the attractions, which is absolutely impossible during the peak season. However, shopping in Dunhuang during the off-season is difficult. Not only are street stalls almost extinct, but even some larger stores are closed to customers. In addition, some dedicated lines for scenic spots (such as the green bus to Mogao Grottoes) will be out of service, so you can only choose to charter a bus. If you are traveling alone, it will be more difficult to find someone to share a ride with. Remember not to take photos secretly, because the light and flash of your mobile phone will affect the murals. Protecting cultural relics starts with me! Tickets must be booked online in advance. .
