Mogao Grottoes
AAnonymous UserThe great cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, but it is also a pity that the cultural relics were robbed by modern powers. The explanations of the 10 random caves are great (free), and if you are still not satisfied, you can continue to the special caves (200 yuan per cave/15 minutes)
Shazhou Night Market
乐乐逍遥@2007Dunhuang Night Market
It is very lively. Because of the sunshine, it gets dark very late. The night market here starts at 8:30. There are many choices of food, with distinctive characteristics and a strong Western atmosphere.
There are also many small accessories, which are dazzling and dazzling. It is still a bit crowded to walk from one end to the other, so please take care of your personal belongings.
It is recommended not to drive, I am afraid that there will be no place to stop after driving for a long time.
Dunhuang Museum
MMATAKUTeacher Lv Xiaoyuan's explanation is easy to understand and has updated a lot of historical knowledge. The Dunhuang Museum uses classic chronological history narratives to strengthen the knowledge of the Western Regions, which is very interesting! I recommend everyone to come and see it! !

Dunhuang Yardang National Geopark
小小迷糊讷Traveling with China Geography is a good idea! I saw the sunset! I also saw the starry sky on the way back! It's not that we can't afford to go abroad, but China's geographical culture is enough to satisfy our own cognition! The tour guide is not very good, as if someone owes you something. The last shift is when you can go off work. Since we went there and you didn't go off work, we can understand that you are tired, but we are more than 60 kilometers from the city to there. Do you think you have nothing to do?

MM54***82Travel photography is popular this year, especially Feitian travel photography. I was very attracted by the videos on Douyin and finally made up my mind to go and take some photos. The most recommended destination is Dunhuang. I searched on Ctrip and found that the travel photography base in Yuequan Town is very famous, so I chose one. When I arrived at the destination, I found that there are really many places to choose from freely, and the cost-effectiveness is very high.
Yangguan Pass Relic tourism District
MM30***57It is a very good historical and cultural attraction. There are not many people in the scenic area. The overall construction is excellent and the service in the scenic area is also very good. It is a scenic spot that is highly recommended to everyone. As an important node on my country's Silk Road, it is very worth recommending to friends.
Dunhuang Ancient City
Aaloha11The scenic area is not as big as the Dunhuang Silk Road Heritage City, but you can visit it along the way. I feel that this should be a photography base. It shows many behind-the-scenes photos of movies, TV series and variety shows. If you like to wear ancient costumes to take pictures, it should be very good.
Tangata Whenua
Aawu45🏔Introduction to the attraction:
"Son of the Earth" is located on the Gobi Desert 400 meters northeast of Hongshanpo, County Road 270, Guazhou County, Jiuquan City, Gansu Province. It is a large outdoor theme sculpture made of red sandstone as the main material, and 3D sculptured using 3D scanning to obtain model data. From a distance, it looks like a real baby quietly crawling on the ground, with a cute expression, eyes closed, and a peaceful sleeping posture. The creative concept originates from the expression of the tenderness and authenticity of the existence of babies, as well as the respect for life itself. It embodies the traditional aesthetic view of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and also hopes to awaken people's awareness of protecting the environment and the earth. From the perspective of artistic attainments and concepts, it is really a work worth 👍, but the reality is that it is difficult to find a perfect shooting point. Let's put it this way, the tourists surrounding the Son of the Earth are like a group of ants surrounding a large piece of meat...
📝Check-in strategy:
Wait in line for group photos or drone photography (the "little ants" around will be removed in the later stage.
🚗Traffic information:
Here you can either take a tourist bus or drive yourself. If you encounter traffic jams during the peak season, you will doubt your life. So I advise you that if you have limited time, you don't have to come here to suffer this (please ignore it if you are an artist who doesn't want to experience it).
📌Recommended check-in points in the surrounding area (all of them are heavyweight giant works of artists, scattered on the Gobi Desert. If you like them, you can find them one by one):
• Unbounded: It is made entirely of white scaffolding. The main body consists of a "main hall" and four "que towers". The shape is like a castle in the sky. It is like a dream in the Gobi Desert, like a mirage, showing the organic combination of art and natural landscape; it can be seen from afar in the Son of the Earth.
• Han Wu's Glory: With the Silk Road civilization as the background and red sandstone as the material, 3D scanning and digital technology are used to create data and 3D sculpture and installation in blocks to show the ambition and wisdom of Emperor Han Wu, and reflect the history and culture of Guazhou. It is not far from the Son of the Earth and it is easy to miss it by car.
• Gobi Ark: The whole body is made of weathering steel, and the shape is like an "ark". It floats on the vast Gobi Desert, and it carries people's expectations in the wind and waves. It is an organic combination of art and natural landscape.
• Wind Whisperer: The elements of wind in nature are used to create auditory enjoyment by blowing steel pipes against each other.
