M39***13The scenery was so beautiful that we kept taking photos and lost track of time. Around 6 pm, we got off at the "Daydream Cinema," but there were no more buses or minibuses, and no staff members were around. No one had reminded us of the last shuttle bus time, so the two of us had to walk to the visitor center, about 4.5 kilometers away. The wind was strong, the temperature was -1.5 degrees Celsius, and it got dark quickly. The further we walked, the more scared we became. We tried calling the scenic area, but no one answered. Finally, we called 110 (the police emergency number) and asked them to contact the scenic area staff. After hanging up, a Li Auto electric scooter passed by, and the driver stopped and readily gave us a ride to the parking lot. We chatted along the way, and the driver said he was from the Space Capsule Hotel. His surname was Wang; he was probably the owner or manager. We were extremely grateful to him and will definitely stay there again next time! The first photo was taken on the way to the visitor center.

猫小妖333The number of visitors was absolutely enormous; you were basically just being pushed around by the crowd. I saw the Flying Horse of Gansu and the Little Girl with the Curtain-like Hairpin. There weren't many exhibits inside; pottery made up a large portion. Overall, it was alright. I hired a guided tour, so at least I didn't just wander around aimlessly.

ty山高人为峰Yangguan was an important pass on the Silk Road. The well-known poem, "I urge you to drink another cup of wine, for once you leave Yangguan, you will find no old friends," describes the ancient Yangguan Road in the Gobi Desert.

U44***11Dunhuang Bookstore is located on the banks of the Dang River. The interior environment is absolutely aesthetically pleasing. The first floor mainly features cultural and creative products, while the second floor has a very rich collection of books, mostly related to Dunhuang. You can sit quietly all day with good books, coffee, and snacks. In the evening, as the sun sets, you can see a different kind of scenery outside the window!

雨霁88Built in the early 1950s for oil exploration and development, Lenghu was the site of a major oil well eruption in 1955, attracting a large number of oil workers and their families. At its peak, the population exceeded 100,000, earning it the nickname "Little Hong Kong in the Gobi Desert." Lenghu oilfield production plummeted in 1980, and excessive radioactivity in drinking water was detected in the early 1990s. Aksai County was relocated in 1995, and the town was abandoned. In 2015, the film "Nine-story Demon Tower" was filmed here, bringing it back into the public eye. Off-holiday, the area is sparsely visited, and it appears rather desolate. If you're not particularly fond of this area, don't go there.

M2e***3sI brought my family to experience the Maijishan Hot Springs. They have a variety of pools with different therapeutic effects. I especially recommend the herbal pool; it's reasonably priced. All the ingredients are high-quality, freshly brewed herbal remedies that you can add to the pool. The water temperature is also very comfortable, making for a fantastic experience.
