Beautiful Night Market in Dunhuang

Getting There - center of Dunhuang (20min from the airport Attractions - a food street Food & Restaurants and Shopping - Sazhou Market We were staying in the hotel next to the market, so it was really convenient to come here for dinner. You can buy some pilof (fried rice with meat), lamb sticks, local deserts etc. The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. Next to the food street there is a market, where you can buy some souvenirs. It's better to come here after 5pm, so it's not too hot. #travelsnacks #deliciousfood #couplestrip #urbanexplorer

An oasis in the middle of the dessert 🏝. Like a mirage seen on a hot summer’s day, the dunes peek out from behind the high rise buildings, tempting you towards them. We spent the majority of the day exploring the stunning dessert landscape, where you can do anything from riding a camel or helicopter to paragliding and sand surfing. Or you know, just sit peacefully to enjoy the view 🧘🏻 🏝 Dunhuang is a pretty small city compared to many others in China, so to get to this beautiful oasis, you can walk (if you’re staying in a hotel nearby) or take a bus! 🏝 While the dunes are beautiful, and you could easily just spend an afternoon playing in the sand, if you want to take part in any of the on-site activities (helicopter ride, camel ride, ATV, paragliding, etc) you’ll need to pay extra. 🏝 If you’re happy to pay a higher premium for a helicopter ride, I’d thoroughly recommend it! While pricey, you get an incredible birds eye view of the lake itself. 📍Echoing Sand Mountain and Crescent Lake, Dunhuang, Gansu Province, China #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel
