Where desert light meets ancient art.
At the edge of the desert, Dunhuang carries the memory of the Silk Road. Plan ahead for a guided visit to the Mogao Caves, then step into the immense space of the dunes and oasis landscape. Time here is best divided between art, history and the changing colours of the desert at the end of the day.
