"Travel Notes" The most beautiful Dunhuang - One-day tour on the Western Route

2017-07-29

Mogao Grottoes: commonly known as "Thousand Buddha Cave"

Off-season ticket price: 100 yuan/person

Peak season price: 200 yuan/person

Summer vacation is the peak tourist season

Tickets are tight

There are physical tickets and online ticket purchases

There are fewer caves that can be visited with a physical ticket

To protect the grotto

Limited number of visitors per day

Want to visit the Mogao Grottoes more completely?

You can make a reservation in advance on the official website

I booked online more than a month in advance

There were only a few tickets left at that time.

Visited Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang before

The memory is really not very good

"Hot" and "confused"

The open-air grotto still requires climbing up and down

Even though there is an audio explanation, I still have a vague understanding of it.

I struggled for a long time last night

I canceled the tickets to Mogao Grottoes that I had booked long ago.

I chose to sign up for a group tour with my friends.

Dunhuang West Line One Day Tour

The innkeeper told me

You can make a small profit by taking it and reselling it on site today.

I feel like I’ve lost a hundred million

Hiking for a few hours yesterday

I went to the night market late again.

But I didn’t sleep well all night

Maybe I'm used to eating and sleeping in the open air.

Suddenly, my body is still not used to sleeping in an air-conditioned room.

The humidity in the room is too low

I woke up and drank water several times

Departs at 7:33

Have breakfast in the car
Arrive at Dunhuang Ancient City at 8:12

Dunhuang West Line:

Dunhuang Ancient City – Yumen Pass – Great Wall of Han Dynasty – Devil City (Yadan Landform)

Yumen Pass

After about an hour's drive

11:23Buy the ticket for Yumen Pass

Ticket: 40 yuan, a combined ticket for Yumen Pass, Han Great Wall, and Hecang City

(Equivalent to a toll. If you take the Dunhuang West Line to Yadan Devil City, you must pass through here. You need to pay a ticket when crossing the road)

I didn’t see Yumen Pass

I visited the Yumenguan Museum

Depart at 11:48
It’s an hour’s drive

12:40 Arrive at Yadan National Geological Park

I remember rushing to buy a bottle of rice pudding

Expensive

12:57 Board the sightseeing bus

Yadan: Uyghur, the original meaning refers to a hill with steep walls.

In geology,

The Yadan landform specifically refers to the landforms that have experienced long-term wind erosion.

A landscape composed of a series of parallel ridges and furrows.

In this Yadan landform in Dunhuang,

The area is about 400 square kilometers.

Its formation took about 700,000 to 300,000 years.

Whenever the wind blows,

It makes all kinds of weird noises,

Therefore, it is also called "Dunhuang Yadan Devil City" by the locals.

The last stop: the West Sea Fleet

Good morning

good afternoon

Good night
