Dunhuang Mogao Caves + Mingsha Mountain Double Experience: Special Cave Reservation and Stargazing Camping

Mogao Caves regular tickets include two digital movies. During peak season, tickets must be booked on the official website one month in advance. Daily limited access to 'Special Caves' (150-200 RMB per cave) is available, with Cave 45's Tang Dynasty sculptures highly recommended. Enter Mingsha Mountain after 6 PM, ride a camel (100 RMB) and take photos before sunset. Late at night, you can join desert camping (200 RMB per person) and see the Milky Way with the naked eye. Pro Tip: Crescent Lake sandboarding can easily get stuck in the sand, running barefoot is a better option!
