1. Jiayuguan stand little, if you plan Dunhuang, or take bus bar, the train first, the time to master good time longer, to Liu Yuan station there is 130km.
2. Jiayuguan in general go to three places, the first pier (in a canyon near, do not vote) the wind a big, vigorous feeling a kind of desolate, should go to look after before Yuanwang Wenshu Mountain and Qilian Mountains; Jiayuguan City, a relatively big ticket seems to be 40 yuan, 20 yuan of students, mainly in the walls from top to bottom stroll, there is a little temple features, while commendable is that a larger number of public toilets here, but clean, I want to criticize in the scenic area there were already several a small hotel, and had no people live, are still under construction; and third places are "cantilevered Great Wall", according to Montenegro, built about 750 long, known as "Western Badaling", from about 1 hour, do not feel that Lossy physical place in Montenegro, on the top, surrounded by stones put patterns everywhere. Visit all three places about 3 hours.
3. The intention to sit off to the Dunhuang Flying fast, but can not afford taxi drivers persuasion, coupled with baggage are more on the last of his car, two men chartered (Santana) said that a good 450 million (Tour End post-paid), 8 points: Jiayuguan above-mentioned three points, 312 national highway bridge Bay City, Yardang Landform, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Crescent Moon Sand Hill, the White Horse Pagoda (lack of time did not go). Later, he again closed the city to find a person, but also did not give us lower prices, so talk about a good price in advance is very important, and certainly higher than the 3-4 who chartered their own ride to be more cost-effective. And they can always stop to take photos.
4. The driver said that they could help to find accommodation for free in Dunhuang (hit right off, in fact, we have a place to live, but in order to take care of another living with the cars of visitors to the Sha Chau Hotel, 120 standard rooms to live three people, then know they talk about can also have the price of accommodation choice is still very large), to buy the ticket (an extension of 30 yuan per person fee +30 yuan agency fees, but now they could not be verified), ticket offers (to the Mogao Caves also said relations between people are not at contacts, this is not empty do), sent to the Liu Yuan stand on the train (120 yuan, in fact, only 100 or less, but they are too lazy to transfer a). On the road is often the hot sun, the cabin is also very hot, but few are willing to open air-conditioning, very consciously, always said fear blowing. Perhaps we are not good enough luck of running into a self-proclaimed "forthright" in the Northwest too readily the driver bar. This much, simply to remind you that the road should be considered. Seeing with one eye should not be.
5. From Jiayuguan to Dunhuang take 312 National Road, traffic well, about 300 kilometers, approximately three and a half hours, and sometimes cars able to open to 140 yards, half-way to the Gobi Desert-based, did not see any animals. When more than half walk to the city of Anxi Bridge Bay (there is a big dry in front of stumps), there are 18 yuan exhibition because it is the private contractors, there is no concession, but there is a rebate to the driver, do not look at the exhibition site of the ruins of the city look for 5 yuan. The exhibition in two parts one is in a room in someone Pigu (with corrupt officials, the head of occipital bone of the two sons together, with the back of the skin to make drum heads, looked at a kind of sad feel pretty uncomfortable, but also do not want to photograph, Emperor Kangxi's dream may be doing them a bar), was killed traced mummified (can imagine the pain of death), some stuffed animals, a few cultural relics. Some of it is fine Yulin cave murals of several copies of a work, such as "Moon Water Goddess of Mercy", "Maitreya through change" and so on, a little up for himself, could not go to Yulin Cave regret. The exhibition is not far behind the ruins, only a few mounds of earth, back river, there are strong winds. Continue to could not walk far, to the Yardang Landform, leaving a few shadow.
6. Sha Sha Chau, the night market from the state guesthouse close to twice, does not seem to health, so are the food of Sichuan, the beginning I drank one, two or three bar apricot skin water (a bit like a sour plum drink), stomach a bit does not comfortable, and Gan He is not the next day, so in moderation.
7. The next day, we would first go to "Mingsha Mountain, Crescent Moon", 6 o'clock on the departure, and is not yet full light, some people have gone, tickets 50, students 25. Generally camel (60 yuan / one-person, 80 yuan / double), round-trip is estimated that more than 2km. First go to Sand Hill, sand-boarding 10 yuan / time, does not require a lot of skill. Sand relatively cool early morning, just the wind is not strong, the mask is useless. Had intended to wear slippers up, but inconvenient, or they leave their shoes to pull the camel's custody, his bare feet up, most people end up barefoot, and sand has a delicate, tread comfortable, as well as the role of athlete's foot rule. But it is recommended you for at the beginning and then take off their shoes when climbing, because Sand Mountain is full of camel droppings wrapped in the sand, or care of infectious diseases. As the camel longer, playing down about 2-3 hours, and the camels can be any time to play more.
8. Crescent Moon Spring water is very clear, but were separated by the fence, and the water is not, I wonder if a few years will be.
9. Battery car cheaper than a lot of camels, but only to the Crescent Moon Spring, but after the sand hills, Crescent Moon Spring can also be slippery, and some steep, people are less.
10. Dunhuang great reputation in Japan, so Japanese people here, many of the signs on the scene also made many Japanese instructions. In the sand hill to see a lot of the Japanese, they basically double camel, but also adults, so how does not love animals.
11. Out of the sand hills, the doors, down the street are the crafts, in order to Magic Cup and camel toys like the most, but few people patronize. Near the door there is a "Folk Museum" can be a look at that, with sand mountains tickets can be entered free of charge, as well as instructors, the majority of people do not know, but local people Yue Fei's reverence reflected in here. Magic Cup final to take you to visit the production, I always feel that Magic Cup good-looking, rough, and they have also lost for the self-styled authentic cup how and parallel imports of "stamping Cup" identification. Zaiqu Mogao Caves on the way, the driver is also strongly recommended him familiar with a plant that can preferential treatment to us, we declined.
12. And finally to the Mogao Grottoes, tickets 80 yuan, 40 yuan of students (old-age card, the military, the disabled and others have discount).
13. Mogao Grottoes has been my desire for a place, but often have a great imagination and reality gap.
14. Had heard of the number of restrictions, in fact not. Basically, the number of tourists come into the number, so in sealed cave to protect the former is no need to worry about. As the visitors more, it is generally 20-30 assigned a guide number of tourists to visit 10 caves, each cave has a representative of the period, including the two largest seated Buddha, a Wofo (very good), as well as such as Jiuse Lu, Cao family, such as caves, but as Cang Jingdong No. 16-17 is not open to playing the guitar only copying paintings (in the seated Buddha inside the cave). Take Our guides do not know what is urgent, within an hour to take us to switch over, including two second-class in front of a Japanese regiment out on the road of time, tour guides and other tourist time. Sometimes, too simple to explain with some of the missing paintings or sculptures, but also to remind visitors to talk about it; most cases, the structure of the cave, layout, color speaks pretty good, but the content relates to the Buddhist culture, when clearly laboring, or doped with some personal understanding, or avoided, it is rather disappointing, hoping to increase literacy. After visiting, tour guides walked a car running, take a look at the time had 12 points, and had gone to catch a meal. Would like to follow other groups to see if the result is basically the same cave, it seems Mogao Cave 10 requirements are strictly enforced.
15. There are a few suggestions: First, is the best view of the morning or afternoon, time than abundant, it is best not to rush to eat before the tour. Secondly, in order to avoid long distance to and can not be beautiful, you can buy the books and VCD (first Look at the sample, some 10 to block Henlan the picture worse, I do not know what year the film), the two books is still good . Third, the hosting of the things except the camera outside, do not multi-band, anyway, must be maintained; flashlight matter whether lack of, lack of electricity (a guide to the more light) to see is unclear, a lot of people can not spend, say towards the cave are in one direction, as long as not too late for the afternoon, the light inside the cave, the light hole is almost summer, no more problems. Fourth, the Mogao Caves Tour has three parts, only one cave, and one Cangjing Dong exhibition hall, on the side of 16-17 holes, with air conditioning, take a closer to 1 hour, but most people do not know , what a pity, when we went inside there is not even a tourist to ask tour guide (no visible signs), visiting the cave without having to go directly to the ticket gate to avoid but also save packets. The other is that it is near the door of the study hall, mainly some copies, of course, can not be genuine than that, but lets you know they probably do not open cave.
16. Finally the manager to take this opportunity to appeal to the Mogao Caves to improve management standards and enhance the sense of responsibility and cultural quality of instructors; although their daily work they are tedious and boring, but the face of the many tourists do not eat hard, admiring, from all over the country, it is to see the grotto art style呀
