Items and matters needing attention in visiting the northwest region:
One: Traveling will take a long time to stay outdoors. Please prepare a sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and the best mineral water to drink.
Most visitors to Gansu will feel thirsty. Drinking more water and eating more fruits are the best ways to adapt.
Two: It is recommended to bring a coat in the northwest due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening, a sunrise in the morning and evening, and a general coat at noon. Ladies suggest bringing colorful underwear or skirts. The brighter the better, the better the photo effect.
Three: Dunhuang suggests buying old yogurt to supplement nutrition. Recommended snacks: raisins, dried wax gourd and preserved plum.
Four: digital movies are played in a loop, please take your belongings with you.
Five: It is recommended to take a small flashlight with you in the Mogao Grottoes. There is no light in the physical cave, and the light is very dim. The commentator has only one flashlight, and the light source is limited. Bring your own flashlight to see a wider range. (In order to prevent the cave from oxidation, a cold light source from a flashlight is used inside the cave. ) It is forbidden to take pictures in caves. You can take photos at the stupa. You can stand alone outside the guardrail, and others can take some photos of the caves without fences inside the guardrail.
Six: After visiting the physical caves, continue to visit the Mogao Grottoes Exhibition Center and visit some restored murals and sculptures, which are precious caves that are not open to the public.
Seven: Mingsha Mountain can relax and play. Sand is pure, pollution-free, contains a variety of minerals, and can be in close contact with skin. It won't stain clothes, but the sand is fine. Be sure to protect the camera/mobile phone when playing to prevent sand from entering the camera/mobile phone. It is recommended to prepare the dust cover of the camera as soon as possible, and carry the dust plug of the mobile phone with you when riding a camel.
I hope I can help you!
