Travel Tips from people who've been to Dunhuang
  04983I came here to see the Buddhist grottoes, which certainly didn't disappoint (some of them are as impressive as the valley of the Kings in Luxor). But don't miss out on the fantastic sand dunes on the edge of the town either. They are immense, hundreds of metres high, and you can hire cammels to go trekking into the dunes very easily (its set up for Chinese toursits, but is not as chessy as that sounds). A great place to visit. Good tip? (+1)  001When going to the desert, remind yourself that Dunhuang is an oasis, and is surrounded by it. So don't pay the 60 yuan they're asking at the 'official' entrance to the sand dunes! Just walk along the fence until it stops and go into the desert from there. There will be no motor cycles, no people hawking their goods; just you, the desert, and mountains of sand in your shoes! Good tip? (+1) 0314The caves there are extremly nice, definately worth a visit! Good tip? (0) Recent Updates for Dunhuang
