The above four scenic spots are the most famous and worth seeing. You must not miss them in Dunhuang. In addition, I think it is more interesting:

5. Yangguan (an ancient city sung by literati in previous dynasties, which advised you to drink more wine, and people who went out of Yangguan in the West for no reason refer to this place)

6. Shazhou Night Market (experience local snacks in Dunhuang, as well as special handicrafts. )

3-D Mountain (the first holy place in Dunhuang)

8. Wowa Pool (composed of many unique springs)

These eight scenic spots are recommended by me. In addition, Changma Grottoes, West Thousand Buddha Cave, Yulin Grottoes and a temple grottoes can also be used.

In fact, in Dunhuang, I have to recommend you to visit Lanzhou and Zhangye, which are not far from Dunhuang.

Zhangye, more than 500 kilometers away from Dunhuang, is a typical Danxia landform. When I got there, my eyes were full of red, which was very shocking. There are also scenic spots such as Sunan, Wanfo Temple and Dahuwan Water Conservancy, all of which are not bad.

Lanzhou is far away, it seems to be more than 0/000 kilometers away from Dunhuang/KLOC. But it is also very interesting places, such as Tianfu Shagong, Xinglong Mountain and Baita Mountain, which are very good.

I also want to remind you that the best time to travel in Dunhuang is summer and autumn.

I hope I can help you. .
