Dunhuang West Line | 360 km, the books you read become the road beneath your feet Life is all about overcoming challenges The Yangguan Pass with no friends The Yumen Pass that the spring breeze never crosses . 8:40 Depart from hotel Silk Road Heritage City - Western Thousand Buddha Caves - Yangguan Pass - Yumen Pass - Yadan Devil City - Milky Way - 21:00 Return to downtown . 1️⃣ Silk Road Heritage City 🎫Ticket: CNY 60 (didn't go in) A man-made check-in point. If you don't want to take photos, you can skip it. There are many other places to take photos later. 2️⃣ Western Thousand Buddha Caves 🎫Ticket: CNY 30, see 4 caves, catch the 9:40 explanation, very worthwhile. 3️⃣ Yangguan Pass 🎫Ticket: CNY 50 🚗Shuttle bus: CNY 10 I personally think it's better for taking photos than Yumen Pass, and it's higher up, so you can see the Qilian Mountains in the distance. 4️⃣ Yumen Pass 🎫Ticket: CNY 0 (free in low season) 🚗Shuttle bus: CNY 50 Take the shuttle bus to visit: Dafangpan City Ruins - Han Great Wall - Xiaofangpan Ruins. Even though it's now just ruins, you can still feel the grandeur of the past. . There are few people at Yangguan Pass and Yumen Pass in the low season, so it's great for taking photos. Plus, the poems from your textbooks have become the road beneath your feet. When you come to the Northwest, you realize that so many of the place names in the ancient poems you memorized in school are here. Although people today cannot see the moon of the past, the moon today once shone on people of the past. The desolation and romance of the Northwest are within reach. 5️⃣ Yadan Devil City to see the sunset over the Gobi Desert🌅 🎫Ticket: CNY 0 (free in low season from December) 🚗Shuttle bus: CNY 70 👩🏻‍💼Explanation: Free, explained by the bus guide ✨Scenic spot highlights: Arrive at the scenic spot entrance at 16:10, catch the 16:30 "sunset bus", the whole journey takes about 2 hours with 6 photo spots, each spot takes about 10-15 minutes, the last spot arrives at about 18:00, sunset at 18:16🌅 First time seeing a desert sunset over the Gobi Desert, deeply moved. . 6️⃣ On the way back to the city, went to the uninhabited area to see the starry sky and Milky Way🌌 Seeing the sunset over the Gobi Desert and the vast starry sky and Milky Way on the same day was so cool and moving. . We are quick at taking photos, arrived in the city at 21:00 and started eating! ⚠️ It's recommended to buy snacks and dry food in advance, as there is nothing to eat along the way except at the scenic spots, and it can replenish your energy and save time. ⚠️ Keep warm, it's much colder than in the city, and windy.
