Preparations for going to Dunhuang

If you plan to travel to Dunhuang! (must see)! ! ! Accommodation has been updated. Source: Diary of Lexiu Miso I grew up in Dunhuang. It is recommended to come to 10 in August, because the weather is not very hot. The famous Li Guangxing has also matured. The best time for Dunhuang tourism is from the beginning of May to the end of June. The temperature in Dunhuang is not very high at this time, but it is relatively cool. Notice is to pay attention to the sentence "the temperature difference between morning and evening is large". Dunhuang is a typical dry climate, so drink plenty of water. The second phase is from mid-September to the end of 10, avoiding the highest temperature season in Dunhuang, with crisp autumn and pleasant scenery. Choose this period to travel to Dunhuang, and you can also taste some local agricultural and sideline products, all of which are green food. If you have money, fly. All flights in and out of Dunhuang are full price all year round. The trains are K9667 Lanzhou-Dunhuang, K59 1 Xi 'an-Dunhuang. The price is relatively cheap You can have a good rest. You can take a taxi after you get off the bus. It takes 20-30 yuan to get downtown. There are all kinds of accommodation in the city, mainly concentrated in Yangguan Road and its extension. Among them, five-star hotels include Shazhou Hotel and Dunhuang Hotel. At both ends of that road, the cost of three or four stars ranges from 100-800. The environment is not bad, because the local tourism system in Dunhuang is not very developed, and the tourism company is not very perfect. I suggest you take action yourself! The traffic in Dunhuang is very small and convenient. There are buses and taxis in the city, which are relatively cheap. Bus 1 RMB/person, the starting price of taxi is in 5 yuan, usually in Dunhuang city, and you can go wherever you want. Dunhuang tourist attractions are usually two days away. On the first day, the Mogao Grottoes and the Crescent Spring in Mingsha Mountain were arranged. On the second day of Shazhou Night Market, Yumenguan, Ya Dan ghost town, Yangguan. Two-star hotels with economical accommodation are all within 100 yuan. Dunhuang is a tourist city, and there are many hotels in the city. June -65438+ 10 is the best tourist season ticket, and student ID cards are all half price. Mogao grottoes: commonly known as the Thousand Buddha Cave, it is known as the most valuable cultural discovery in the 20th century. Founded in the pre-Qin period of the Sixteen Countries, it has been built in the Sixteen Countries, Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Xixia and Yuan Dynasties, forming a huge scale, with 735 existing grottoes, 45,000 square meters of murals and 24 15 clay sculptures. It is the largest and richest Buddhist art shrine in the world. 1987, Mogao grottoes was listed as a world cultural heritage. One of the four largest grottoes in China. Mogao Grottoes is an art hall integrating ancient buildings, sculptures and murals, especially colorful murals. The cave is full of Buddha statues, flying clouds, geisha music and painted fairies. Opening numbers: 16,17,328,329,323,320,419,420,427,428,55,6123,259. Special caves: 465,285,220,272,275,45,57, 158, 156,159,254,217,32/kloc-. It is said that the murals in Cave 285 are the best, and the stone carvings in Cave 45 are the best. After having a rest in the morning, eat out and eat less rice and pasta everywhere! Then take a taxi, 10-30 yuan to the Mogao Grottoes. Admission 180, half price for students. There is a free tour guide after you enter. 1-2 hours can take you around. The rest can take photos and buy some things by themselves. You can go to Dunhuang History Museum at noon, or on the road of Yangguan Road. Tickets are also cheap. You can get a general understanding of Dunhuang and buy a luminous cup. Turn left when you go out. There are many luminous cups. The authenticity of the luminous cup can be known through the magnet, and the real luminous cup can be sucked. It is estimated that it will be done in 3-4 hours! Mingshashan raiders. Located at the northern foot of Mingsha Mountain, seven kilometers south of Dunhuang, it covers an area of about 200 square kilometers. Also known as "Shajiao Mountain". Located on the edge of Tengger Desert, together with Shapotou in Zhongwei County of Ningxia, Xiangshawan in Dalat Banner of Inner Mongolia and Bakun Town in Bakun Kazak Autonomous County of Xinjiang, it is one of the four famous mountains in China. The mountain is tens of meters high, more than 40 kilometers from east to west, 20 kilometers from north to south, and 1650 meters above sea level, just like two sand arms stretching around the crescent spring at the foot of Mingsha Mountain. It's best to go in the afternoon, because it's hot during the day, and Sha Shuo absorbs the light and heat of the sun, and it will become very hot. In the afternoon, the temperature will drop slightly in Shashuo, the sand in the afternoon can promote blood circulation, burying legs can treat arthritis, and places where dermatitis is buried can also be treated. Very good! ) Tickets 160, students are half-price, and take a taxi to Mingsha Mountain in the city 10-20 yuan. There is no guide to go in. It is recommended to ride a camel first. Sand is also very distinctive. It is composed of seven kinds of sand grains, without dust and very pure. Crescent spring is surrounded by high sand mountains, with a small lake shaped like a crescent moon in the middle. Due to the terrain, when the wind blows, the sand does not go down the mountain, but flows from the mountain to the mountain, so the crescent spring will never be buried by sand, which is called the desert wonder. You can watch the sunset at night, and then you can go back to the city by bus or taxi. Dinner can be served at Shazhou Market, where local snacks are everywhere. Very good! The price is also cheap, but they are all pasta, and the handicraft street next to the market is very prosperous. Most of them are handicrafts that can't be bought in other places, and the price is not expensive! But before you bought it, you said that you were from the Petroleum Bureau and would not be slaughtered a lot. Or go to Jian 'an Market in Qizhen, the first mutton restaurant (similar to a bungalow). The roast mutton here is not well-known because of insufficient supply, unlike the mutton raised artificially in Xinjiang, which is found all over the country. The mutton in Dunhuang is naturally grazing in Qinghai, drinking snow-capped mountains and eating Chinese herbal medicines. The next day, Yumenguan, Ya Dan ghost town, Yangguan. From Dunhuang downtown (leaving the hotel for breakfast at 08: 50) → West Thousand Buddha Cave (09: 45-11:15) → Yumen Gate (12: 05-12: 30). (Suggestions are for reference only) West Thousand Buddha Cave: 20 yuan/person (original price) Yumenguan/Han Great Wall: 20 yuan/person (off-season ticket price, original price 40 yuan) Ghost Town: 25 yuan/person (ticket price/off-season ticket price, original price 50 yuan) +20 yuan/person (ticket price in the scenic spot, social vehicles are not allowed to enter the scenic spot) Yangguan: 25 yuan/person (ticket price/person) Eight scenic spots in Dunhuang: Guanliang Site, Thousand-Buddha Rock, East Branch of Dangerous Peak, Dangshui Beiliu, Che Xiao, Yue Quan, night view of ancient city, embroidered earth, spring ploughing and sand ridge. Dunhuang Night Market: Shazhou Market: Located in Dunhuang East Street, it is the best time to visit the night market after 10 pm, and the time can last until 4 or 5 in the middle of the night. Set entertainment, eating and shopping in one. It is divided into several large pieces: luminous cups, carpets, colored sculptures, craft camels, luminous cups, Qilian jade, flying gold paintings in Mogao Grottoes and other exquisite handicrafts are dazzling; Snacks in various colors such as noodles with minced meat, syrup, stuffing cakes and mutton skewers in the flavor snack area make people salivate; Li Guangxing, Mingshan Jujube, Purple Peach, Fragrant Pear, White Grape and Yellow River Melon, the "Chaohai Guo Jia" in the agricultural special products area, are even more mouth-watering. Dunhuang Cuisine: Special snacks (the price and location may be out of date, for reference only): yellow noodles of donkey meat-a plate of yellow noodles in 7 yuan, and donkey meat is sold by the catty. At the entrance of Xiqiao Farmers' Market in Dunhuang City (No.84, Miao Wen Lane, Dunhuang City), there is a donkey meat noodle restaurant, and the west entrance of the market records the donkey meat noodle restaurant. Dunhuang stuffed skin-a plate of 3 yuan money, Dunhuang minced meat noodles-a bowl of 4 yuan money, are sold in streets and lanes, and snack bars in night markets. Cannon oil cake-a rare one on the street at 80 cents, which is sold in Shazhou market. Paste noodles-4 yuan a bowl, night market and snack bar. Apricot skin water-both on the street and in tourist attractions, the price of large and small cups ranges from 50 cents to several pieces. I personally recommend this. Cheap and good. It's a bit like sour plum soup when it's hot, but it's sweeter and more refreshing. As long as I see it along the way, I always want to buy a cup. User introduction: The barbecue in Shazhou market is recommended by many people. There are many people in Dunhuang and Sichuan, and the diet is mainly Sichuan style. At night, there are mala Tang stalls all over the street. In addition, I recommend the snack street in the city, where you can find all kinds of unfamiliar pasta and a kind of gray bean soup, which is worth a try. There are some good restaurants near Tian Fei Hotel on Mingshan Road: the chicken in Muslim Friendship Hotel is very good, and the quantity is particularly sufficient. Others, such as John Information Cafe and Shirley Cafe, provide good western food. Dunhuang specialties mainly include handmade carpets, colored sculptures, craft camels, luminous cups, crystal glasses, craft calligraphy and painting, Dunhuang batiks, antiques and so on. Among them, sweet fruit and luminous cup are the most famous. Dunhuang, known as "Guazhou", is rich in all kinds of sweet and delicious fruits and grapes. There are mainly Li Guangxing, Ziyang Peach, Mingshan Jujube, Yangguan Grape, Shaguo Watermelon, White Melon, Yellow River Melon and Dongguo Pear. Li Guangxing is one of the most famous. In recent years, Dunhuang has developed a series of preserved fruit products, and people are always willing to bring some dried fruit products as gifts to relatives and friends. Dunhuang wine, Dunhuang mineral water and Dunhuang fruit drink are also very popular. The luminous cup is carved from jade collected by Qilian Mountain. It gives off a faint light in the dark. "A glass of sparkling wine", this poem by Wang Han hits the nail on the head. Of course, wine should be tasted in a luminous glass! The taboo in Dunhuang is 1. The temperature in Dunhuang in summer is generally around 34℃ ~ 14℃. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the temperature is slightly lower than that in the mainland. In addition, many areas have high altitude and strong ultraviolet radiation. 2. The tourist attractions in Dunhuang are long, scattered and monotonous, and it takes a long time by car and train. Please prepare food, poker, etc. In addition, a pair of shoes that are comfortable, fit and easy to walk is particularly important. 3. Drug prevention: The Silk Road is far away, and the climate difference is too great, which makes it difficult for tourists to adapt for a while, and there may be symptoms of acclimatization. Tourists need to bring related drugs: band-aid, cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, etc. But there are also many local pharmacies in Dunhuang, so it is generally difficult to bring more. There are ethnic minorities in Dunhuang, and there are many ethnic snacks in Shazhou Night Market. Muslims and Hui people don't eat pork, which is the biggest taboo in their lives. You must not offend, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding. Friendly reminder: 1. If you want to slide sand, please close your eyes when you are near the bottom of the valley, and you'd better wear a mask, because the small bamboo raft will raise dust. 2. Mountain climbing: If you climb the sand mountain by yourself, it will take about 1.5 hours. In addition, you can choose to ride camels, motorcycles, mountain bikes, off-road vehicles and so on. To climb to the high point of the desert, you can also take a bird's eye view of the desert by human glider. Price: camel from 40 yuan/person (probably), with a fixed route, long-distance money increase, about 40 minutes. Motorcycle mountain bike, 150/ car, remote money, self-driving and staff driving, about 30 minutes. Self-driving off-road vehicle (2020), about 200-300 yuan/vehicle, can be driven by staff, the time is relatively free, negotiable. The humanoid glider seems to be 160 yuan/person, hovering over the crescent spring in Mingsha Mountain, and it is estimated that it will take about 10 minutes. The basic route is to cross the sand mountain. 3. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk from Yueya Spring in Mingshashan Island at the entrance. You can choose 10 yuan/Renren's electric car, and it takes 5 minutes to arrive. You can also go by camel. 4. Be prepared for sun protection and wear light-colored sun protection clothes. 10 yuan/Set You can rent a shoe cover at the entrance (you can lift your knees) to prevent sand from entering the shoes and also prevent sand from scalding your feet. 5. The best place to shoot Crescent Moon Spring and enjoy the sunset in the desert is the mountainside of Shashan next to Crescent Moon Spring, but the disadvantage is that there will be some backlight in the afternoon. In addition, the appearance of sunset must be registered with the scenic spot police station, and 20 yuan management fee must be paid, otherwise it will be expelled from the mountain patrol defense at night (actually, there was no such thing, and there were still many people at that time. It's just that there is such a saying on the internet, which is probably aimed at sleeping friends. ) 6. When you reach the top of Mingsha Mountain, you can bring back bottled sand. It is said that the sand here is the finest, softest and cleanest, and it also bears witness to strength and courage. 7. The temperature difference between day and night is large, so get ready for the sunset. In addition, back water, scenic water is expensive. 8. The desert is vast, don't run around, be careful to get lost. (Actually, it's not big, but I didn't have a concept before I went, for fear of straying into the Sahara. ) 9. There will be a two-hour time difference with the mainland. You may have to prepare for the time difference when you first arrive in Dunhuang. (Fortunately, I took the train for one day and two nights before, and I had enough rest, but it will be reflected in the mobile phone conversation. 2 1: 00, my family called to ask if I had slept, and replied: it is not dark yet. Finally, I wish you a comfortable, cozy and safe silk trip. - .！ ! Yuequan Mountain Villa (this recommendation! To apply for "International Youth Hostel", it is suggested that one or more people live in a five-room bed in 30 yuan at the foot of Mingsha Mountain (you can enter Mingsha Mountain without a ticket). . If two people want to stay in a standard room, go to the reception center. There is a hotel next to it. I forgot the name of the standard room with bathroom for 60 yuan. The reception center is a standard room in 68 yuan. I have checked into the reception center and found a cheaper one next to me. . ) If there are three people, you can stay in the Party School Hotel, 100 yuan, a standard room with a bathroom. . The boss of Yuequan Mountain Villa is very nice. Although Yuequan is not a real international youth tour, the mode is basically the same. The atmosphere inside is very good, and you will meet many donkey friends. Other hotels may not have that atmosphere.
