Explore Dunhuang | A Silk Road Legend

| A Silk Road Legend The vast land of the northwest is rugged and magnificent, and Dunhuang is like a shining pearl, carrying countless historical and cultural treasures. As a key gateway to the Silk Road, Dunhuang has always been a city of unique charm, from the bustling trade of the past to the ancient charm of today. It is a national historical and cultural city, with a rich heritage. Who doesn't know about the Dunhuang Grottoes and murals? Entering the grottoes is like traveling through time, with the flying goddesses on the murals telling stories of the past and present with their graceful dance; the solemn and compassionate gaze of the Buddha statues inspires awe. Every stroke and color is the work of craftsmen from a thousand years ago, blending religion, art, and history. Walking through the streets of Dunhuang, the ancient atmosphere is overwhelming. The Yangguan and Yumenguan Passes have weathered the storms, but still stand tall, witnessing the prosperity of the Silk Road. The streets are filled with traditional handicrafts, with poplar wood carvings showing the resilience of the desert and exquisite silk flowing with the brilliance of the Silk Road. Come to Dunhuang! Step on this magical land, touch the pulse of history, and feel the cultural influence. Listen to the sound of sand at Mingsha Mountain, admire the moonlit spring at Crescent Lake, and explore the artistic treasures in the grottoes. Let your soul be nourished and elevated in this ancient land of the rugged northwest. Yumenguan Pass
