From Lanzhou to Dunhuang, the classic scenic spots along the way are probably as mentioned above. It is still necessary to mention here that the route of Hexi Corridor will involve many historical, cultural and religious things. My university teacher once told us that if we want to go north to Dunhuang, we should study the history books of Dunhuang, at least we should know something about history. Only in this way can we understand some stories behind Dunhuang. Dunhuang is like this, so are other scenic spots.
