Dun I Huang I Ancient I City

Mogao Grottoes: commonly known as "Thousand Buddha Cave"

Off-season ticket price: 100 yuan/person

Peak season price: 200 yuan/person

Summer vacation is the peak tourist season

Tickets are tight

 

There are physical tickets and online ticket purchases

There are fewer caves that can be visited with a physical ticket

 

To protect the grotto

Limited number of visitors per day

Want to visit the Mogao Grottoes more completely?

You can make a reservation in advance on the official website

I booked online more than a month in advance

There were only a few tickets left at that time.

 

Visited Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang before

The memory is really not very good

"Hot" and "confused"

The open-air grotto still requires climbing up and down

Even though there is an audio explanation, I still have a vague understanding of it.

 

I struggled for a long time last night

I canceled the tickets to Mogao Grottoes that I had booked long ago.

I chose to sign up for a group tour with my friends.

Dunhuang West Line One Day Tour

The innkeeper told me

You can make a small profit by taking it and reselling it on site today.

I feel like I’ve lost a hundred million

 

Hiking for a few hours yesterday

I went to the night market late again.

But I didn’t sleep well all night

 

Maybe I'm used to eating and sleeping in the open air.

Suddenly, my body is still not used to sleeping in an air-conditioned room.

The humidity in the room is too low

I woke up and drank water several times

Now it is designed and built to imitate the ancient city of Shazhou, with a construction area of ​​10,000 square meters.

It's said to be an ancient city, but more like a film and television base.

I've contracted this inn

Feel like you are in ancient times

We only visited this place for 1 hour. Time was too tight. I think we could spend a whole day here with a few drama stars.

Inns, oil shops, brothels, etc.

Yadan: Uyghur, the original meaning refers to a hill with steep walls.

In geology,

The Yadan landform specifically refers to the landforms that have experienced long-term wind erosion.

A landscape composed of a series of parallel ridges and furrows.

 

In this Yadan landform in Dunhuang,

The area is about 400 square kilometers.

Its formation took about 700,000 to 300,000 years.

 

Whenever the wind blows,

It makes all kinds of weird noises,

Therefore, it is also called "Dunhuang Yadan Devil City" by the locals.

Not a single plant or tree can be seen here,

Everywhere is a sea of ​​black sand and stones,

yellow clay statue,

Various shapes are lifelike under the blue sky.

 

Second stop: The Sphinx

 

The third stop: Peacock Jade Stand (Pillar-shaped Yadan)

 

Peacock Yuli is well protected

Of course, the protection measures also look a bit scary.

If you go around it for a week, you are done visiting it.

 

The last stop: the West Sea Fleet

 

If the above three scenic spots are lifelike,

Then this scenic spot is majestic

 

The sand on the ground has high metal content;

So it is black, also known as the Black Desert.

 

We don’t have much time to visit each scenic spot.

I didn’t even have time to savor it carefully.

The sky + clouds are also a different style

After the visit, take a short rest

These clouds are so cute

Even though the sun is shining

Everyone still doesn’t want to miss taking photos
