Dunhuang Tour is so attractive because of the Silk Road passing through it, and as one of China's most important ancient trading posts. History has endowed the city with abundant historical sites and cultural heritage. For centuries Buddhist monks at Dunhuang collected scriptures from the west, and many pilgrims passed through the area, painting murals inside the Mogao Caves or "Caves of a Thousand Buddhas". The magnificent Mogao Grottos will amaze you, as will the beautiful Echoing-sand Dune and the Crescent Lake. As well as the fine views a camel ride will give you a first hand experience of what it was like when caravans plied the Silk Road. This is a truly extraordinary tour that is steeped in historic traditions.
