杨老七羊肉粉汤

There are several medals hanging on the wall. The mutton noodle soup is very famous and tastes good.

My solo trip to Northwest China has come to a perfect end! The Symphony Silk Road, the enchanting Gansu, and finally, Dunhuang, the last stop, gave me so many surprises! 💫 ▪️ Classic Photo Spots: The "Reverse Pipa" statue in the city center is a must-see, a classic promise to Dunhuang! 📸 ▪️ Local Food Treasure Map 🥣 Yang Laoqi Lamb Soup: Highly recommended! It's a restaurant frequented by locals, around 20+ RMB per person. The lamb portions are incredibly generous, the soup is flavorful and the meat is tender—it warms you right to the core! You can keep getting refills of the soup (actually, I was full before I finished, the flatbread was delicious). 🍢 Mysterious Night Market BBQ: Thanks to a local friend I met on the way! Hidden deep in the night market, it took me a while to find it, but the taste was amazing! You'd never discover this place without someone familiar with it! ▪️ A Limited-Time Romance: My friend even drove me to see the exterior of the Mogao Caves at dusk. Feeling the ancient sands blowing in the vast twilight was breathtaking—words can't describe the awe. On the way back, I experienced the roar of a Golf GTI. The speed and passion, combined with the expansive night sky of Northwest China, made me think: Life's moments are just like this! 😭 ▪️ Sending My Thoughts from Dunhuang: I sent postcards to my friends from Dunhuang, sharing this romance of the Western Regions! 💌 Next stop unknown! If any of you would like to receive travel postcards, see you at our next travel destination! Leave a comment wishing for your city!
