First stop: Shazhou Night Market in Dunhuang
Want to feel the rich folk customs of Dunhuang? Want to buy exquisite handicrafts as gifts? Want to try the special Dunhuang cuisine? Shazhou night market satisfies three wishes at a time.
There are many kinds of handicrafts here. Artists put the exquisite murals and colorful plastic art exhibitions of Mogao Grottoes on canvas, scarf, gourd, wood and slate, which reminds you of the beauty of Dunhuang when you look at this memory.
Tip:
The most distinctive thing in the street is that these paintings are specially given to friends.
② About food: minced meat noodles, yellow noodles of donkey meat, apricot skin water, old yogurt, elm, stuffed skin and big leaf coriander.
Second stop: Mingsha Mountain 1, Mingsha Mountain sunrise.
Dawn in Dunhuang is just right. Around 7: 20 is the best time to watch the sunrise and greet the dawn. We set foot on the star-studded Dai Yue, just to pursue the rising sun of Ran Ran at the top of Mingsha Mountain. I walked slowly, listening to the melodious camel sound, watching the sky fade away from darkness, the stars gradually disappear, the sun and the moon shine together, the east turns white, and Mingsha Mountain begins to show her beautiful face.
When you see with your own eyes that the original gray-blue sky is dyed with the color of the morning glow, and the sun climbs up from the back of the undulating mountain like life, you will feel that your breath is almost still; When I saw that the sun finally jumped out of the barrier of the mountains, it shone brightly.
Climb Mingsha Mountain with your own feet, touch this soft gravel at close range, and leave your graceful figure in the beautiful desert wind and light.
2. Crescent Spring
The crescent spring bends like a crescent moon, hence its name, because "the spring reflects the moon without dust" and "the ancient sand does not fill the spring, and the spring does not dry up" and becomes a spectacle.
Tip:
① When climbing Mingsha Mountain, remember to bring enough drinking water, apply sunscreen, wear sunglasses, hats and umbrellas, and take sand prevention measures for the camera with plastic bags (the sand in Mingsha Mountain is incredibly soft, and my small card machine lens is almost stuck).
(2) As for the sand-proof shoe covers, I think they are ok.
③ About tickets: Moon Spring in Mingsha Mountain 120 yuan/person; 200 yuan/man riding a camel
4 For off-road vehicles and gliders, interested partners should not be missed.
Third stop: Mogao Grottoes Mogao Grottoes were built in the pre-Qin period of sixteen countries. Up to now, there are 735 caves, 45,000 square meters of murals and 24 15 clay sculptures, from which the famous "flying" murals in Dunhuang come. This stop is my favorite place after my whole trip to Song Dynasty, and I will be deeply shocked by the sights and objects here. I haven't felt this way for a long time.
In fact, what really shocked the Mogao Grottoes was the murals inside. Each painting is connected with a story background, and the story is very touching. This is a memory from watching the exhibition before.
It ends with a picture of Nirvana _ Buddha.
Tip:
① About tickets: 200 yuan/person in peak season; Off-season 100 yuan/person
In order to protect cultural relics, it is forbidden to take pictures in the cave.
Fourth stop: West Thousand Buddha Cave in Dunhuang Ancient Film and Television City.
Compared with the magnificence of the Mogao Grottoes, the West Thousand-Buddha Cave is more quiet and dignified, even as simple as it looks a bit "crude". The steep cliffs and deep valleys here are covered with shade, and the beaches under the cliffs are covered with red willows, towering ancient trees and trickling streams.
Tip:
① There are 16 caves in the West Thousand Buddha Cave, of which 9 caves are open for viewing, and others can only look up from the cliff because they can't climb it.
② About tickets: 30 yuan/person in West Thousand Buddha Cave.
The fifth stop: 1, Yangguan, a scenic spot on the western line.
Here, the place that makes me feel most is this sunshine pass. On the dilapidated rostrum, two plaques, "Looking East at Chang 'an" and "Looking West at Loulan", are still intact. Looking up at the stairs, I only feel a kind of desolation. There are sparse shrubs, low-rise houses and yellow sand everywhere, and I feel that I am going to marry the daughter of Chang' an in the western regions.
Tip:
Photographing is not allowed in Yangguan Museum.
It's interesting that you need to clear customs when you enter the city.
③ Qiangdi, a Yangguan handicraft, was deliberately tried to blow.
④ About tickets: 50 yuan in Yangguan/person (including battery car ￥ 10).
2. Yumenguan
Today's Yumenguan, only an isolated city stands on the Gobi desert, but behind it are rows of light green shrubs, spreading golden grass, and above it is a blue sky, which is also a vast and magnificent picture.
Tip:
When you are lucky, you can see a rainbow hanging on the horizon. Standing on Jeremy goldkorn seems within reach.
② About tickets: Yumenguan+Han Great Wall 40 yuan/person.
3. Han Great Wall
Along the ancient Great Wall, a beacon tower was built every ten miles, which is the beacon tower of "ten miles big pier and five miles small pier" written in ancient books. Nowadays, the beacon tower has disappeared, and the Great Wall of Wan Li has lost its former glory after thousands of years of wind and rain erosion. However, it is this broken appearance, with heavy historical traces, which is quite distinctive.
4. Ya Dan ghost town
Ya Dan National Park is also called "ghost town". It is said that when there is a sandstorm in winter, the whole castle will hear the sound of wolves crying and ghosts howling, which is creepy. It's easy to get lost when you go deep into the castle alone.
Watching the sunset here is also a great style, and watching the sunset paint the horizon in different colors is also quite spectacular.
Tip:
① The scenic bus stops at Golden Lion Yingbin, Peacock King and West Sea Fleet for tourists to take photos and watch, and then slowly wait for the sunset.
② About tickets: Ya Dan Ghost Town 120 yuan/person (including scenic bus 70 yuan).
