☀️Weather:
Dunhuang-strong wind, big temperature difference between morning and evening, so I really had a migraine for three days.
Friends who come here should pay attention to the weather and bring enough clothes, hats, and scarves.
🚗Transportation:
I came by plane and chose to rent a car directly at the airport. It was very convenient. The car rental and return were both at the airport. It also facilitated my self-driving in Dunhuang later.
⬇️Route in a running account⬇️
Day 1⃣️:
The plane arrived at 8 o'clock in the morning. The airport was very close to Mogao Grottoes. I threw my luggage in the car and went directly to the scenic spot.
🌟Mogao Grottoes, remember to book a normal ticket in advance❕
The tour time is about 3-4 hours
Return to the hotel for lunch, put on makeup, and go to Crescent Lake to take pictures in the afternoon.
🌟Crescent Lake Mingsha Mountain
After buying the ticket, you can play for three days and enter and exit for three consecutive days.
Ten thousand people concert in the evening
Accommodation: A famous hotel near Crescent Lake. It is good to go back and rest after playing, and go to the hotel to put on makeup at noon.
Day 2⃣️: Dunhuang West Line (self-driving)
Silk Road Heritage City ➡️Yangguan ➡️Yumenguan ➡️Yardang Devil City
The West Thousand Buddha Caves are also on this line. I saw in the guide that if you have seen Mogao Grottoes, you can skip this place, so I eliminated it.
⚠️Note:
🌟There is basically nothing to eat on the west line, and there is no place to refuel, so fill up the gas before setting off!
🌟Bring some food with you, there will be a Dicos in [Yangguan].
🌟Self-driving will pass through an uninhabited area with no signal, so it is recommended to download an offline map.
Accommodation: near Shazhou Night Market, convenient for eating and drinking on the second day.
Day 3⃣️:
Breakfast Xiajiahe Juice➡️Dunhuang Bookstore➡️The most beautiful poplar forest➡️Leiyin Temple➡️Crescent Lake Camel riding (didn’t have time to ride on the first day)➡️Shazhou Night Market
😋Food:
Choose to eat a few according to everyone’s guides, Guizhou stomach doesn’t have too many comments.
Apricot peel tea·Golden Zhangye Xiang, Malatang·Xiajiahe Juice·Donkey meat yellow noodles
Fly home at night✈️
