Stay at Xingzi Hotel and Explore the Yardang Landform | Super Comprehensive and Worry-Free Guide

Stay at Xingzi Hotel and Explore the Yardang Landform | Super Comprehensive and Worry-Free Guide✨ I. Transportation Guide (Departing from Xingzi Hotel) • Self-driving/Chartered car: Most recommended! The hotel entrance has free parking. Drive along Liuge Expressway → Yardang National Geological Park Road. The entire journey is about 1.5 hours, road conditions are good, and sedans can pass; you can stop flexibly for photos. • Public transportation: 5-minute walk from the hotel to Dunhuang Bus Station, 2-hour drive. Return trips at 16:00/20:00. Please confirm the time with the driver in advance~ II. Itinerary Planning (2 Classic Ways to Play) 🌟 One-day Essential Tour (Time-saving and hassle-free) 1. 7:30 Have breakfast at the hotel (Recommended: Lamb Noodle Soup + Steamed Buns, filling and warming), depart promptly at 8:00 2. 10:00 Arrive at the scenic area, buy entrance tickets + sightseeing train package 3. 10:30-12:30 Take the small train to visit key attractions: Dinosaur Valley (for prehistoric-style blockbusters) → Sphinx (for low-angle shots) → Broken Bridge Valley (for panoramic views of the Yardang formations) 4. 12:30-14:00 Have a simple meal at the scenic area restaurant (Recommended: Gobi skewers, 50 RMB per person), or bring sandwiches + fruit packed from the hotel 5. 14:30-16:30 Experience off-road vehicle adventure, go deep into the no-man's land for wilderness blockbusters 6. 18:30-20:00 Photograph the sunset at Broken Bridge Valley (Red/white long dress + windbreaker, amazing light and shadow) 7. 20:30 Return to the hotel, ending a perfect day~
