Hexi Corridor Dunhuang|5 days and 4 nights to retrace the Silk Road

|5 days and 4 nights to retrace the Silk Road. 🎈National Geographic once said: The Hexi Corridor is a transportation hub and a scenic corridor. Under the care of nature, this Silk Road has been endowed with a unique scenic corridor where snow mountains and deserts converge. In March and April, the Hexi Corridor is in the off-season, with cheaper tickets, air tickets, and hotels, and fewer tourists. More importantly, the Mogao Caves open 12 caves, which is super cost-effective. If you want to quietly appreciate the desert scenery of the cave art, it's the best time to come. 🚶5 days and 4 nights treasure itinerary DAY1⃣Arrive in Dunhuang DAY2⃣Dunhuang-Mogao Caves Scenic Area-Dunhuang Mud Painting-Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring-Stay in Dunhuang DAY3⃣Dunhuang-Yumen Pass-Yadan Devil City-Stay in Dunhuang DAY4⃣Dunhuang-Jiayuguan City-Zhangye Rainbow Danxia Sunset-Stay in Zhangye DAY5⃣Zhangye/Lanzhou Return 💓tips: The northwest scenic spots are far apart, and transportation is not so convenient. If it is the first time for friends to come to the Hexi Corridor and they don't want to make a strategy for fear of trouble, they can find a reliable local group, which is worry-free and cost-effective, and the accommodation is also good~ ✅Must check in attractions 📍Zhangye Rainbow Danxia The Danxia landform here is beautiful all year round, but the Danxia under the sunset is more beautiful, like a palette overturned by God. 📍Mogao Caves It takes at least half a day to play here, quietly appreciate the beautiful caves and murals, and then create your own Mogao Caves mud painting. 📍Mingsha Mountain. Crescent Spring There are groups of camels here, you can race camels, run horses, and sand sliding is also a good choice. 📍Yadan Devil City Countless fossils of various shapes fall on the vast wilderness, adding a bit of mystery and agility 📍The 'First Strong Pass in the World' is worthy of its name. When you climb the pass tower, this feeling of being majestic is particularly strong. 🔥Travel advice ✔️Hydrating mask: The climate is dry, which is very important for girls ✔️Sunscreen: Sunscreen, sun protection, sunburn prevention ✔️Sunglasses: Prevent sand from blowing into your eyes ✔️Hat scarf: Windproof to avoid colds, headaches caused by wind
