I want to travel to Dunhuang, and my classmates, always two people, not with the group, give some advice.

The golden week reservation system is implemented in Mogao Grottoes, which is not needed at ordinary times. About 30 people will be brought in by an interpreter.

It is absolutely impossible to take pictures in the Mogao grottoes, and the light in the grottoes is not good. It is completely natural lighting, and it is basically impossible to take pictures. You have to use a flash, but the flash will have an effect on the mural.

I'm afraid it's too late to camp in the desert at night, watch the moon in Mingsha Mountain, watch the sunset and sunrise in the desert, and take pictures crazily, but you must register with the scenic spot police station and pay the management fee of 20 yuan, otherwise you will be expelled from the joint defense of patrolling the mountain at night.

(Note: 1. The water in Crescent Moon Spring is not allowed to be washed and drunk. Washing can be carried out in the bathroom of Yuquanlou near Crescent Spring; 2. There is no restaurant in Mingsha Mountain Scenic Area, so you need to bring your own dry food. )

It takes a day to get to Yumen Pass in Yumen, a ghost town in Ya Dan. Because of the long distance, there is no transportation in Yumenguan and other places on this day. You must charter a car or take a ride. The road conditions are acceptable, and the general van can cope with it, but it is bumpy. If you want to be comfortable, you can rent an expensive imported jeep. Usually renting a car to Yumenguan is more expensive, around 200 yuan.

The tourist facilities in Dunhuang are relatively complete, and all kinds of accommodation can be found. But the price difference between peak season and off season may be 30%. One thing must be noted: Dunhuang is in the center of the oasis, and it is still more than ten kilometers away from the Gobi Desert. If you want to enjoy the truly magnificent wonders of the sunrise and sunset in the Gobi Desert, it is recommended to live in seven towns on the edge of the Gobi Desert. Administratively belonging to Qinghai, this town is a new city built on the Gobi Desert. Passing through the shelterbelt is the endless Gobi Desert with beautiful scenery.

Living in Dunhuang Hotel and its vicinity is the most convenient place to live, and Tian Fei Hotel and Art Troupe Guest House are also nearby. The green leather bus to Mogao Grottoes and Dunhuang Railway Station leaves at the entrance of Dunhuang Hotel, and the No.3 bus stop sign to Mingsha Mountain is one intersection south. However, it is a little far from the consumer places such as Shazhou Night Market, and it takes 10 minutes to walk. If you take a taxi, you only need 5 yuan to start.

Eat:

Dongjie Shazhou Night Market: You can taste snacks from Gansu and Xinjiang.

Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou: Noodles are delicate and smooth, with different thickness and specifications. A small bowl 1.8 yuan is equivalent to Guiyang's noodles! :)

Grapes: Dunhuang produces grapes, which is the second largest grape base in China after Turpan, with seedless grapes of 4 cents/kg! :)

Buy:

Craft camels, luminous cups, Qi Yulian and paintings of flying golden pools in Mogao Grottoes are all good souvenirs, but they must be affordable! It is best to buy luminous cups in the salesroom of luminous cup factory in the east of Shazhou market, and the quality is guaranteed.

Matters needing attention

1, the hospital equipment in Dunhuang is extremely poor. In order to avoid acclimatization, please bring more cold, fever and anti-allergic drugs.

It is necessary to bring a pot of water with you.

There is an ethnic minority in Dunhuang, which takes Shazhou Market as the night market, and there are many ethnic snacks. 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.

Have a nice trip!
