Crescent Moon Spring Zichenju Homestay (Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Spring Scenic Area)

A hidden gem of a guesthouse in the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake scenic area of ​​Dunhuang! **Location:** The guesthouse is located right inside the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake scenic area, super close to the entrance, and within walking distance of the lake. Free parking is available for those driving, which is rare around scenic areas! The owner also provides a shuttle service – incredibly thoughtful! **Environment Features:** • The entire guesthouse is beautifully designed, with an elegant style throughout. The sand dune landscaping and desert plants in the courtyard are particularly stunning; every snapshot is a masterpiece. • The rooms are simple and elegant. I especially loved the huge, warm bed – after a long day of exploring the desert, lying on it was so comfortable I didn't want to get up! • Some rooms also have small balconies where you can sit and stargaze, experiencing the romance of the Northwest night sky. Nearby attractions: • Crescent Lake is just a 5-minute walk away, offering stunning sunrise views. • Camel riding, sandboarding, and other activities are readily available within the scenic area. • Enjoy authentic Northwest cuisine at the nearby night market in the evening. • Excellent value for money: • Prices on Ctrip are very affordable, much cheaper than surrounding hotels that often cost thousands. • Free parking and shuttle service within the scenic area saves you a significant amount on transportation costs.

The room was nice, and the corridor had a local charm. Besides the usual amenities, there was drinking water, air conditioning, heating, and electric blankets – all the facilities were complete. The owner was very kind; seeing I arrived early, he came out to meet me and even thoughtfully provided a small electric scooter. The next day, I was able to see the sunrise over the sandbar, which was fantastic.

The owner was very nice. The stay was very comfortable, clean, and tidy. It's also close to tourist attractions, and the owner shared a lot of travel tips. The small courtyard is spacious, and you can truly experience "freedom" here. Parking is also convenient, and you can even do laundry.

This B&B is my favorite place to stay in Dunhuang. It has a small courtyard and an outside room. It has all the necessary appliances and disposable items. The location is a bit out of the way, but the owner always drops you off at the entrance to Crescent Lake. You can even borrow an electric scooter if you need anything. It's a great value for money. The cats at the B&B are super cute, you have to pet them!
