Resplan
Klockan 08.00 kommer din guide att hämta dig från lobbyn på ditt hotell i Dunhuang och överföra dig till Besökscentret i Mogao Grottoes, ett UNESCO: s världsarvslista, där du tittar på två dokumentärer om grottorna och Silk Road. Sedan kommer en professionell grottguide att leda dig att utforska omkring 7 till 9 grottor noggrant. Du kommer att bli förvånad över välbevarade fresker och statyer i grottorna från 400-talet. Grottorna byggdes av munkar med donerade medel och målade noggrant för att tjäna som helgedomar och för meditation och upplysning. Dessa målningar är också ett lärande verktyg för att informera de analfabeter om buddhistiska övertygelser och berättelser. De primära grottorna sponsrades av beskyddare av viktiga prästerskap, lokala styrande eliter, utländska värdighetsmän och kinesiska kejsare. Vissa av grottorna kan ha finansierats av köpmän, militärbefäl och lokala invånare. * Obs! Ditt besök i Mogao-grottorna kan ändras till eftermiddagen på grund av att attraktionen dagligen är tillgänglig. I det här fallet besöker du Singing Sand Dunes och Crescent Moon Spring på morgonen.
I eftermiddag kommer du att överföras för att se Singing Sand Dunes och Crescent Moon Spring. Det kallas också visslande sand eller barkande sand som producerar ljud som kanske orsakas av vind som passerar över sanddyner eller genom att gå på sanden.
Denna magiska vår ligger i mitten av sanddyner men den har aldrig täckts av sanden genom historien. Crescent Moon Spring är en halvmåneformad sjöoas i Gobiöknen som minskar krympningen på grund av klimatförändringar.

This tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Orlando, was very accommodating and went above and beyond to help us make the best of our short stay in Dunhuang. We only had one day, so her help was vital in making sure we could see everything we could in that time. We had already had a pretty good guide in Beijing, but Orlando blew us away with her hospitality and knowledge. First, we went to the Mogao caves. Orlando was very knowledgeable and helped us learn about the caves before going in. They were beautiful and definitely can’t-miss sight in China and especially Dunhuang. She brought us to a really nice lunch where we had the softest, most delicious noodles we’ve ever had (I’m not exaggerating). She even shared with us her own personal hand made noodle recipe, since we loved the noodles so much. She talked with us about Dunhuang as a city, and we were very excited to learn. Initially, we had come for just the Mogao caves (I had taken a class on the Silk Road and specifically those caves while in university), but she showed us that there is so much more to the city’s culture and history. After lunch, we went to the dunes and were able to ride a jeep around them, which was super fun. We hiked around with Orlando, and saw a temple and the lake, which were absolutely beautiful. While that’s all the tour shows, Orlando helped us so much more than that. She helped us arrange to see a live Dunhuang inspired show in the evening which was so much fun and not what we expected - you follow the actors through a theater and get a full, surround experience - something we’ve never seen before and loved. Even after that, she picked us up and guided us to the night market well into the evening. She gave us food recommendations for particularly special Dunhuang cuisine, as well as specific restaurants to eat them at, and even showed us some silk scarf stores which we bought souvenirs at. I highly recommend this tour, and especially Orlando as a guide!
Thank you so much for your incredibly detailed and heartfelt review! We are absolutely excited to hear that your Dunhuang day tour with our guide was such a memorable and enriching experience. We're delighted that you enjoyed the Mogao Caves, a true treasure of Dunhuang and the Silk Road, and that Orlando’s insights helped bring their history and beauty to life for you. It’s also fantastic to hear that you loved the local cuisine—especially those delicious noodles. It is fantastic to know that you loved the diverse cultural and historical highlights of Dunhuang, from the stunning dunes and Crescent Lake to the vibrant night market. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we're so happy that you left Dunhuang with such wonderful memories. If your travels ever bring you back to China, we’d love to welcome you on another adventure!
We really enjoyed our guided tour in Dunhuang. This tour was the perfect balance between history and fun. In the morning we visited the Mogao Grottoes. We visited a few spectacular caves, it was a great experience. In the afternoon we went to the crescent moon Spring. There are a lot of fun activities and we took a helicopter and ride the camel. The guide helped to pass all the lines and was very patient and supportive during all activities. We can highly recommend this tour to anyone who want to see the cultural and fun side of Dunhuang.
That is great to read your review about the fabulous day tour in Dunhuang, an oasis town along the ancient Silk Road. Thank you for your recommendation to other travelers, we always do our best to make the tour joyful.
The Mogao Grottoes with 2 movies and a great tour guide at the grottoes made the trip very worthwhile. The history and seeing all 8 Grottoes with an English guide was amazing. The singing dunes are great for a hike in the sand and the history of the area was very informative.
We are happy to know you like Dunhuang.
The Mogao Grottoes are amazing. The dunes for a hike is also great. So much history. The tour can be done by yourself as long as you get tickets ahead of time. For English speakers I had to wait for an hour to gather other ex pats, but the tour was great with only a few people. The guide for the caves was very knowledgeable. I chose the 8 caves option.
The refurbishment made the caves look very modern and well touched-up. Crowd control is an issue. Book ticket well in advance online, and you see no more than 5-6 caves.
Dear Alfred, thanks for traveling with us. Dunhuang is very busy for July and August, I suggest you to visit Mogao Caves during the rest of the year to get better experience next time. Mogao Caves are original that were built 1500 years ago with wonderful frescos and paintings to display the history and religions on the Silk Road, and tourists can visit 4-7 regular caves depending on the arrangements of the Cave.
<p>The Mogao Grottoes make the entire trip worthwhile. I went twice!</p>
