Hexi Corridor Dunhuang|5 days and 4 nights to retrace the Silk Road

Hexi Corridor Dunhuang|5 days and 4 nights to retrace the Silk Road

|5 days and 4 nights to retrace the Silk Road. 🎈National Geographic once said: The Hexi Corridor is a transportation hub and a scenic corridor. Under the care of nature, this Silk Road has been endowed with a unique scenic corridor where snow mountains and deserts converge. In March and April, the Hexi Corridor is in the off-season, with cheaper tickets, air tickets, and hotels, and fewer tourists. More importantly, the Mogao Caves open 12 caves, which is super cost-effective. If you want to quietly appreciate the desert scenery of the cave art, it's the best time to come. 🚶5 days and 4 nights treasure itinerary DAY1⃣Arrive in Dunhuang DAY2⃣Dunhuang-Mogao Caves Scenic Area-Dunhuang Mud Painting-Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring-Stay in Dunhuang DAY3⃣Dunhuang-Yumen Pass-Yadan Devil City-Stay in Dunhuang DAY4⃣Dunhuang-Jiayuguan City-Zhangye Rainbow Danxia Sunset-Stay in Zhangye DAY5⃣Zhangye/Lanzhou Return 💓tips: The northwest scenic spots are far apart, and transportation is not so convenient. If it is the first time for friends to come to the Hexi Corridor and they don't want to make a strategy for fear of trouble, they can find a reliable local group, which is worry-free and cost-effective, and the accommodation is also good~ ✅Must check in attractions 📍Zhangye Rainbow Danxia The Danxia landform here is beautiful all year round, but the Danxia under the sunset is more beautiful, like a palette overturned by God. 📍Mogao Caves It takes at least half a day to play here, quietly appreciate the beautiful caves and murals, and then create your own Mogao Caves mud painting. 📍Mingsha Mountain. Crescent Spring There are groups of camels here, you can race camels, run horses, and sand sliding is also a good choice. 📍Yadan Devil City Countless fossils of various shapes fall on the vast wilderness, adding a bit of mystery and agility 📍The 'First Strong Pass in the World' is worthy of its name. When you climb the pass tower, this feeling of being majestic is particularly strong. 🔥Travel advice ✔️Hydrating mask: The climate is dry, which is very important for girls ✔️Sunscreen: Sunscreen, sun protection, sunburn prevention ✔️Sunglasses: Prevent sand from blowing into your eyes ✔️Hat scarf: Windproof to avoid colds, headaches caused by wind

The Famous Mogao Grottoes 🇨🇳

#2023travelwish Welcome to Gansu! 🇨🇳 📍Location: 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang Attractions: The Mogao Grottoes (known alternately as the Caves of the Thousand Buddhas) are hand-cut rock caves carved into cliffs. Interesting facts shared by my tour guide: There are 735 caves in total and only 60 are open to the public. When you visit this site, you will get to only see 8 caves. The caves open to the public change everyday. I’m 2023, I’d love to go back to one of my favorite cities in the world; Berlin 🇩🇪 #mogaogrottoes #gansu #dunhuang #historicculture #tripblazers

Your next 1-Day Dunhuang Road Trip

Mingsha Mountain, Crescent Lake, and the Mogao Caves are must see sights in Dunhuang. But if you have some extra time, why not go against the grain and visits some sights in the west of Dunhuang too? Here’s the spots I visited on my one day west Dunhuang tour: Yangguan Pass, Yumen Pass, Yardang National Geopark, and the west part of the Han Dynasty Great Wall! The trip took the entire day (about 9 hours), but it was totally worth it! Every sight felt fresh and more incredible than the last. To visit all these sights it’s definitely recommended to drive. You could rent a car and drive yourself for more freedom, or join a tour group for a more structured trip. You’ll find plenty of tours online, and the one I joined was only 100 yuan (not including entry tickets)! #roadtrips #motortravel #100waysoftravel

Dunhuang, Gobi Desert, China

These pictures were taken in Dunhuang, China where the silkroad lies. These are themed photos inspired by a fanmous Chinese Drama "Goodbye My Princess" . We also camped out on the desert and it was an incredible experience. Camping Accomodation: Dunhuang Vivian Desert Camping Transportation : Didi or taxi from the airport to the hotel (take note you wont go to the camping site right away because it will only start at 530 pm. ) You will be asked to go to a hotel first and leave your stuff, then just do anything you want. If you arrive early then definitely go to the Mogao Caves or a temple nearby. We are very satisfied with the arrangment. The camp expenses was only around 350 for two people with sand dunes activities, hotpot buffet for dinner with an entertainment and a bonfire fun.. JUST message me if youre interested and I can connect you with the staff. 😊 #happylaborday #dunhuang #china #chinatravel #gobidesert

Mogao Caves, Grotto Culture.

Mogao Caves, Grotto Culture.

Check in at Mogao Caves ​I visited all the caves ​But no photos are allowed inside Dunhuang Mogao Caves is the world's longest-lasting, largest, and best-preserved Buddhist grotto. It is one of the four most famous grottoes in China, along with Yungang Grottoes in Datong, Shanxi, Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, Henan, and Maijishan Grottoes in Tianshui. In March 1961, the State Council listed it as one of the first national key cultural relics protection units due to its precious historical, scientific, and artistic value. Dunhuang Grottoes include Mogao Caves, Western Thousand Buddha Caves, Yulin Caves in Guazhou, Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves, Shuixiakou Lower Cave Grottoes, Five Temple Grottoes in Subei, One Temple Grottoes, and Changma Grottoes in Yumen. As the artistic styles of the grottoes are similar, and the main Mogao Caves are located in ancient Dunhuang County, which was the political, economic, and cultural center of the region, they are collectively known as Dunhuang Grottoes. Mogao Caves is the most famous of these grottoes. The entire group of caves is carved into the cliffs on the eastern slope of Mingsha Mountain, 25 km southeast of present-day Dunhuang City. The caves face east and stretch about 1,680 meters from north to south. Since August 1, 2014, to "utilize and protect" the world cultural heritage, Mogao Caves has adopted a new visiting model. All visitors must make a reservation in advance to visit Mogao Caves. Visitors first go to the Mogao Caves Digital Exhibition Center to watch two high-definition digital films combining advanced digital technology and ancient grotto art for about 60 minutes. The films include the theme film "Millennium Mogao," which introduces the historical and cultural background of Mogao Caves, and the dome film "Dream Buddha Palace," which features a virtual tour of the essence caves of Mogao Caves from different eras. Visitors can experience the murals of Mogao Caves through the multimedia digital dome theater before visiting the caves in person. This visiting model helps reduce the time visitors spend in the caves, reduces the pressure on cultural relic protection, increases the visitor capacity of Mogao Caves, and helps visitors better appreciate Dunhuang art.

Dunhuang Super Project|Photovoltaic Power Station

|Photovoltaic Power Station. Starting from Cold Lake Town, passing through Black Mountain, Oil Town, Nine-Layer Demon Tower, on the way to Dunhuang, you can see a huge luminous body from afar. Never been to the Northwest, you can often see this huge power station in the video. I searched it specially before I came, and when I was really there, I felt its grandeur. It takes + minutes to get there from Dunhuang. It's best to shoot with a drone, if not, you can also go and see this great feat! Photovoltaic Power Plant

See Dunhuang Again

See Dunhuang Again - What an incredible experience! As expected, the show was entirely in Chinese, but it was still a lot of fun. Although my Chinese is not great, I was still able to somewhat understand the story and I was mesmerized by how cool it was. The actors were very good and the special effects were great. During the show, you walk from one room to another and no matter where you stand, you’ll have a great view. 💰 Cost : 318¥/人 ⏰ Time: The show lasted about 90 minutes or so Language: Chinese only #dunhuang #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #theater #chinatravel #chineseculture

The Historical site of Yumen Pass 🇨🇳

#2023travelwish Welcome to the famous Yumen Pass Historical Site! “Built in Western Han Dynasty, Yumen pass is the one of the two passes to the western regions in ancient China and the only gateway for the North Silk Road Route.” 📍Location: 90 kilometers away from Dunhuang. How to get there: This site was part of a Silk Road organized trip, so I had a private driver. Have a good trip! For 2023, one of my dream destinations is Greece. #summervacation #awesomepic #historicculture #gansu #china

Beautiful Sand Dunes 🏜 in Dunhuang 🇨🇳

#timetotravel The sand dunes are magnificent! It makes you realize how small you are and how insignificant your size is compared to this massive sand dune. They are a total treat to my eyes. we really enjoyed climbing up and walking on the sand dunes. There people whoare doing different types of activites but we did try sledding for some extra cost. we didn't try the camel riding as this isn't our first time in a desert so we just enjoyed the scenery and totally appreciate the wonder of nature. For us , this was such a fun experience. For 2 days in Dunhuang we experience the different sounds of the sand dunes then we understood why it is call the singing/echoing sand dunes. Enjoy the experience!
