It is recommended to bring sun protection and warm clothing. - When visiting the Mogao Caves, keep quiet to protect the cultural relics in the caves. Dunhuang has a long history, rich culture, and unique natural landscape. I hope you can have an extraordinary travel experience on this ancient land and leave your own story.
