When is the best time to go to Dunhuang Great Ring Road and take the road trip route?

Dunhuang Great Ring Road is a route that many young people in China like and yearn for, and it has a strong sense of conquest in the face of the long desert.

So how to choose the most suitable route for this ring road? When is the best climate for road trip?

The Dunhuang Ring Road generally refers to the Qinggan Great Ring Road. It's actually a good idea to start from Dunhuang. Generally speaking, the peak period of Qinggan Ring Road is summer vacation, but the scenery in summer is also colorful.

Run on the spot according to the recommended route:

The route of Dunhuang-Jiayuguan-Zhangye-Qilian-East Coast of Qinghai Lake/Heimahe-Chaka/Delingha-Ya Dan on the Water/Delingha-Dunhuang avoids Xining, because it is inconvenient to get in and out during rush hours, such as traffic jams before Daban enters the city, and there is no reason for Xining to play unless there is enough time. It highlights the Gobi and some special scenic spots, leaving enough time to enjoy the desert with Delingha as its point.

Disadvantages of this method:

Dunhuang airport has few direct flights, expensive peak season and few railway stations. In the past, the mainland still needed Lanzhou or Xining for transit (Lanzhou has greater advantages, more routes and lower fares).

When you say Dunhuang Great Ring Road, you should mean the Northwest Great Ring Road of Qinghai-Tibet, which starts from Lanzhou or Xining and returns to Dunhuang to the west. This route is a classic route of northwest tourism. It has been very popular in recent years, and many people come here to travel. Every year from June to September, many people come here to travel, especially during the summer vacation, when students have a holiday, many families will choose this route to drive by car.

I have taken this route twice, once from your residence to Lanzhou by charter flight or high-speed train (why choose Lanzhou instead of Xining? Please guess the main reason first, the answer will be told to you later), contact the local travel rental company and charter a tour. Second, I drive to road trip. Knowing the route, I drove with some friends for a few days.

I think the Great Ring Road in the northwest is very suitable for road trip, all the way to the national and provincial roads. The road conditions are particularly good and the altitude is not high. Except where the Heima River is 3800 meters above sea level, the rest are below 3500 meters, so don't worry about the high altitude.

If it is the first time to go to the northwest and want to take the Great Northwest Link, I suggest you charter a car to travel freely, which will be very worry-free, and you don't have to consider the driving route, where to eat, where to live and where to play.

This is the first time we have done this. Three companies have chartered a 14-seat CMB, which is responsible for the driver's meals, but not for accommodation. We agreed on the fare in advance, so we don't have to worry about the rest. The driver's master is a driver, a tour guide or a half-nanny. He knows how far he runs every day and where there are good-looking attractions, especially local native products and all kinds of delicious food. You can play easily.
