This is a long-awaited trip. I am very lucky to meet the very good driver and tour guide Cai Master. He is very patient. He will not urge us when we play. He will silently wait for us to play before coming out. He will tell us some stories about the scenery along the way. Master Cai is also very humorous, in short, it is a very pleasant journey.

The ghosts of nature are a fight with the devil city of Xinjiang. The photos are also very good. The tickets are also very suitable. There is almost no need to walk throughout the whole process. There are shuttle buses throughout the whole process. When you are tired, you can rest in the car, watch the scenery, and be in a daze.

Super worth going. 2001 2004, 2006 and 2019 have been there separately, the change is really big. Witness pure natural crescents to deformed crescents and then to human intervention crescents. The feeling in the heart is that we really have to love our planet. Finally, I took a wedding photo there, and the memorial was huge.

When I came to Qinghai Crescent Spring, I still had to go to the place. The first time I saw such a large desert, so many camels were really excited. The first time I took my son to ride a camel, I was really excited and scared.

Tibetan Jingdong is the popular name of Mogao Grottoes 17. This cave was originally built in the five years (851) of Tang Xuanzong University, and was a shadow cave of the monks in Hexi at that time. Around the 11th century, Xixia ruled Dunhuang period, before the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty occupied Dunhuang, the monks of Mogao Grottoes, considering the disaster of war, so they sealed the scriptures, documents, archives and Buddha statues preserved in the temples throughout the ages, and then built a wall outside. And painted murals to hide people's ears. After the monks also fled the war difficulties, the cave was decadent, the years were deep, and the cave was silted by the wind and sand, so claustrophobic for nearly 800 years. Qingguangxu 26 years (1900), Mogao Grottoes Daoshi Wang Yuanxu, the rate of people "drain three layers of cave sand with running water", the secret room has been in the world, and it is called "Tibetan Jingdong". The Tibetan Jingdong has unearthed the largest literature in Dunhuang's legacy, especially the icing on the cake of the famous historical and cultural city. It has also become an important data from the East Han Dynasty, the Central Jing two Jin Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Liang Dynasty, the Beizhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the fifth Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Xixia Dynasty, the Xixia Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty, covering the civilizations of each dynasty. Professor Jiang Liangfu, a Dunhuang scientist, believes that "the whole Chinese culture is manifested in the Dunhuang volume". First of all, the important value of Dunhuang's legacy is the gold stone scientist Ye Changyi of China. In "Yushi", he not only recorded the stone of Mogao Grottoes, but also made a quite unique explanation of Dunhuang's legacy. The cave has discovered tens of thousands of ancient Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures and secular instruments, which are valuable documents for the development of academic culture in China for nearly two thousand years. The accumulation of history has finally become the treasure of the future generations, which is a great blessing for Chinese academics and world academics.

The autumn color of Populus euphratica forest is very charming... There are almost all Populus euphratica forests throughout the country, and the Populus euphratica forests in every place are also unique and different in style. When you arrive in Dunhuang, of course, you have to check in the Populus euphratica scenic spot. It is also a worthwhile trip... Populus euphratica forest is still Populus euphratica forest, and the unique visual effect of spring to autumn is still such that people linger...2021/10

It is worth recommending for friends who come to Dunhuang! It is the closest to the city and the largest original ecological Populus euphratica forest!
