Self-help tour from Urumqi to Dunhuang

After getting off the train, you can take a taxi or take a bus to the city, but the taxi driver will recommend you to the hotel (they have a commission). I don't know how the accommodation is.

It was 2008, and my girlfriend and I went to the city to find our own hotel. It seems to be called Dunhuang Craft Factory Guest House, which is cheap (40). The environment is not bad, but it's a little troublesome to take a shower, and there is a kTV next to it.

As for the scenic spots, it is Mingsha Mountain and Mogao Grottoes.

You can go to Mingsha Mountain by bus. You can ask the locals how to take a taxi. It's a little far. It is suggested to leave around 10 and arrive at noon. You must bring more water and food. At that time, a bottle of mineral water was 5 yuan.

If you are afraid of the sun, you can buy a hat at the booth outside. You must bargain.

The ticket for Mingsha Mountain seems to be 120, I forgot.

We rented baseboards inside to prevent sand from entering the shoes. We didn't rent barefoot at that time.

Besides, the camel rider didn't ride it at that time and didn't know the price.

Mogao grottoes think that cultural accomplishment is not long enough.

In the evening, you can go to a place called Shazhou Market, where there are barbecues and handicrafts (the place where you lived at that time went straight to the right after leaving the door for about 10 minutes).

Sorry about the poor language organization, I hope I can help you.

But I don't recommend going now, because you know the temperature in the northwest now.
