Why is Dunhuang tourism not popular?

Why is Dunhuang tourism not popular? Let me give you my opinion.

Dunhuang's tourism resources have two gold-lettered signboards. One is the Mogao Grottoes, a treasure house of ancient world art; The other is the desert wonder crescent spring. As a world cultural heritage, Mogao Grottoes have long been famous at home and abroad, and Crescent Spring is also a famous scenic spot. Dunhuang, as an important town on the ancient Silk Road, has an irreplaceable position. There is also a famous tourist city Jiayuguan near Dunhuang, which is the main road leading to Xinjiang in Hexi Corridor. There is also an airport with convenient transportation, which is also the only place for tourism in Qinghai, Gansu and Inner Mongolia. It can be said that the weather, geographical location and people are all occupied, but the tourism in Dunhuang is tepid and always hot.

It is one-sided to say that Dunhuang tourism is completely unpopular. Dunhuang tourism is greatly influenced by seasons and holidays. Because it is located in the west, many tourists will suddenly increase only when the school is on summer vacation and the May 1 ST and 11 th long holidays. However, in winter, due to the sandstorm and cold climate, there are a lot fewer tourists. In addition, in order to protect the Mogao Grottoes, the number of visitors every day is limited all year round, so you must book tickets online in advance, otherwise you can't get in even at the entrance of the Mogao Grottoes. Of course, there will be a certain number of temporary tickets every day, but those are intercepted tickets, and the number of caves that can be visited is discounted. Similarly, Jiayuguan scenic spot near Dunhuang is also affected by the same seasonality and holidays, as are the great tourist links in Qinghai, Gansu and Inner Mongolia, as well as the tourism to Xinjiang via Dunhuang.

However, with the development and progress of society and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, many people began to travel at the wrong peak, avoiding crowded holidays and visiting Dunhuang. Because there are fewer people, the experience of traveling will be better. I believe that Dunhuang, the pearl on the ancient Silk Road, will never be buried in the desert, and its charm will attract more and more people from all over the world to visit Wan Li.

I heard that there is no water to bathe, so I dare not go!

I was lucky enough to have been to Dunhuang twice on 20 16 and 10, and enjoyed the unique scenery of Dunhuang. But when I went there, it was not the peak tourist season, but there were many tourists. I didn't expect Dunhuang not to be hot.

The northwest of Dunhuang is still far from the Central Plains, but the traffic in Dunhuang is very convenient, and it can be reached by plane, train and car. Moreover, Dunhuang is rich in tourism resources, including Mogao Grottoes, Crescent Moon Spring in Mingsha Mountain, West Thousand Buddha Cave, Yangguan, Yumenguan, Han Great Wall Site and Ghost Town, among which Mogao Grottoes and Crescent Moon Spring in Mingsha Mountain are the most famous attractions that must be punched in.

Mogao Grottoes

When we went to the Mogao Grottoes, we made an appointment at 9 am. We arrived early and could buy tickets. There are already many people waiting in line. I believe everyone wants to appreciate the charm of world cultural heritage.

Mingshashan Yueya Spring

In addition, in the crescent spring of Mingsha Mountain, we rode a camel at the foot of Mingsha Mountain when we went. This is a good experience. Sitting on the camel's back, we slowly came to the desert, and it was really an eye-opener to see the yellow sand. What is even more surprising is that the crescent moon spring, a clear spring in the vast desert, has never withered for thousands of years and has never been submerged by yellow sand.

Xiqian Buddha Caves

The West Thousand Buddha Cave is still worth a visit. It can be said that it is a small-scale Mogao grottoes, and the murals are also very beautiful and have high artistic value. Moreover, there are few tourists here, and everyone may have gone to the Mogao Grottoes.

Yumenguan and Han Great Wall Ruins

These two places are the only way to the ghost town. As long as you go to the ghost town, you have to buy tickets for both scenic spots, which is a bit robbery. These two sites are generally ornamental, but they are still of great historical significance.

Devil City

The official name of the ghost town is Dunhuang Ya Dan National Geopark, and here is a visit to Ya Dan landform. It is said that in windy weather, the wind will pass through the landform of Ya Dan and howl of ghosts and wolves, hence the name Ghost Town.

It is not recommended to go to Dunhuang! Dunhuang has two famous scenic spots, one is Mogao Grottoes and the other is Mingsha Mountain. Personally, I think the famous Mogao Grottoes are actually nothing to see. Even if you go, you won't see any more caves. It's best to see caves such as Maijishan!

I think it is more appropriate to change the interrogative sentence.

During the peak season, tickets for Dunhuang and Mogao Grottoes are basically unavailable on the same day.

I remember that when I went to Dunhuang in July that year, the car at the entrance of Mingsha Mountain stopped a few blocks away, and Wuyang Wuyang were all people.

If you don't book accommodation in advance, there is no place to live.

So the tourism in Dunhuang is very popular.

As long as it is a tour now, that place is not hot.

Place names you've heard.

Of course, if you have to compare it with Jiuzhaigou in Beijing, Suzhou and Hangzhou, it will be a little worse. After all, Dunhuang is remote, where the ancient spring breeze is not enough, surrounded by desert Gobi, with a vast territory.

It's a long drive from another attraction.

Or you can only go by plane, especially to Dunhuang by plane, just for the crescent moon spring in Mogao grottoes, which is a bit embarrassing.

Therefore, it is normal that Dunhuang will not be as crowded as those scenic spots in the mainland.

Dunhuang tourism can't be directly measured by the heat.

Dunhuang is the traffic artery of the Silk Road, with profound cultural heritage. However, due to the influence of geographical environment, the tourist season in a year is relatively short. Except for the summer vacation and the May 1 ST and 11 th holidays, tourists are concentrated in Dunhuang. At other times, the number of tourists is relatively small, giving people the impression that the Mogao Grottoes, a world cultural heritage, has not made Dunhuang a popular tourist destination.

In fact, on the one hand, it is an illusion, and it is also an unavoidable status quo. If you set foot in Dunhuang Research Institute and learn about Dunhuang culture for a long time, you will find that the history and culture of Dunhuang is not a trip to Mogao Grottoes and Mingsha Mountain, but a trip to Dunhuang.

In the seemingly fiery tourist season, although there are many people traveling to Dunhuang, they naturally have a different taste. In a hurry, travelers can't spread Dunhuang culture accurately and deeply.

It is gratifying that in recent years, Dunhuang's stage plays are creating new tourist cards for Dunhuang in another art form. For example, the performance of "Look at Dunhuang again" is a deep extension of Dunhuang culture. If the tourism management department can reduce the consumption threshold of tourists for Dunhuang cultural products through policy subsidies, or Dunhuang scenic spots can form alliances and cooperation, then tourists who have been to Dunhuang will have a deeper understanding of Dunhuang culture. With the traffic conditions in Dunhuang and the cultural characteristics of Mogao Grottoes, there should be no huge contrast in the flow of people in Dunhuang in the off-season. (After all, Dunhuang is not a tourist city with natural scenery as its core.)

Therefore, friends who travel to Dunhuang must do a good job in raiders and may gain a unique impression of Dunhuang!

Let's quote Mr. Chang Shuhong, one of the founders of Dunhuang studies, and feel the depth of his understanding of Dunhuang culture.

Life is the connection of fighting.

Whenever difficulties are overcome.

Another difficulty will arise.

Life is hard to repeat.

But I will never back down.

My youth will never come again.

No matter how hard it is.

I must fight to the end.

(ps: The picture in the article shows the restoration of the cave model by the museum. In order to protect the cultural relics in the grottoes, the Mogao grottoes can't take pictures. Even the carbon dioxide we breathe will accelerate the oxidation of cave murals, so protecting cultural relics starts from ourselves! )

Dunhuang tourism has highlighted the million-person mark. Is it hot or cold? As a cultural heritage of mankind, the Mogao Grottoes do not want as many tourists as possible. If you come too much, it will be a disaster for the Mogao Grottoes. This is why the Mogao Grottoes restrict tourists. As a scenic spot, the Mogao Grottoes have exceeded the 5A level. Why didn't you declare 5A? Mogao grottoes can't destroy human cultural heritage for money! However, in order to increase the number of tourists by spurt, the Mogao Grottoes also tried every means. When tourists come, they must be allowed to visit, but they must be suppressed in quantity and time, and reasonable arrangements and visits can ensure that the Millennium cultural relics will not be destroyed.

Dunhuang should not be developed into a tourist destination, nor is it suitable for tourism. Dunhuang is said to be famous for murals, but murals belong to cultural relics.

Many visitors are harmful to cultural relics.

The geology and climate there are not suitable for ordinary people to travel. Although the scenery is beautiful, it is not the green beauty of Jiangnan. It is a dry landform with poor environment, no leisure facilities and no tourism value. It attracts many adventurers and some people who like to shoot the scenery in the northwest, but these people can't support the tourism there.

There are often mountains and waters, or beautiful beaches, or green mountains and green waters, or natural lakes, or shocking visual scenery.

It is impracticable and foolish to rely on cultural relics to develop tourism.

Last summer, I took my son to Dunhuang. I can't book the tickets for the Mogao Grottoes more than one month in advance. I got off the train in Dunhuang and bought an emergency ticket for the next day. It was 7 o'clock in the morning. As a result, I arrived at the visitor center at six. The line of snakes is already very long. Why is it hot?

On the train to Jiayuguan, I met several tourists who regretted not buying tickets for the Mogao Grottoes.

During my trip to Dunhuang, I also went to see the crescent spring in Mingsha Mountain and the Ya Dan landform of the Han Great Wall in Yumenguan, Yangguan.

Dunhuang, a magical place, is worth visiting!

How hot do you want Dunhuang to be?
