Winter Hexi Corridor, the ancient Silk Road in China

The Hexi Corridor has been a major transportation route connecting the Central Plains of China with the Western Regions since ancient times. It is a core area where various ethnic groups have continuously clashed and integrated, leaving a large number of cultural heritages and cultural tourism resources. Experiencing the rich and colorful multiculturalism of the Chinese nation is a treasure trove for understanding cultural differences between different ethnic groups. At the same time, it is also a living textbook for understanding the formation, integration and development of the Chinese nation, and has become a region for cultivating a sense of cultural identity of the Chinese nation. Highlights of the Hexi Corridor Colorful Danxia In winter, the sun shines on the red sandstone of Danxia, like a brilliant painting. Walking here is like stepping into a real colorful fairy tale world. Jiayuguan In winter, Jiayuguan has a dry climate, and a thin layer of frost forms on the city wall. Climbing the city wall, you can see the magnificent scenery of the grand pass, as if traveling back to ancient times. Son of the Earth Here are deserts, Gobi, and mountains. In winter, the Son of the Earth is covered with a layer of pure white snow, forming a snow scene. Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes The Mogao Grottoes contain many cultural treasures such as murals and colored sculptures. In winter, there are few tourists, and you can quietly appreciate the unique paintings. Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring is one of the four wonders of China. The Crescent Spring is like a bright pearl embedded in the desert. Yumen Pass In winter, the mountains and grasslands around Yumen Pass are covered with snow. Here, you can feel the footsteps of those merchants who once traveled on the Silk Road. In winter, there are fewer people to reduce queuing time, and you can also see different scenery. As long as it is not encountering extreme national weather, the cost performance is very high. After all, the tickets are cheap, and the air tickets are also cheap. The disadvantage is that the transportation connection is not so convenient, and there are few flights, which require transfers.
