Dunhuang is a great place for healing, playing in the sand, and riding camels

【Introduction】: When traveling to the northwest, Dunhuang is a must-visit destination. Today, I recommend a hidden gem for playing in the sand and riding camels, just 10 minutes from the city center—the Mingsha Mountain. ⛺【Things to Know】: At the end of Mingshan Road, which runs north-south, is the Mingsha Mountain Scenic Area. The ticket price is 100 yuan per person. As soon as you enter, you will see continuous sand dunes, and there are shuttle buses in the scenic area. Walk straight for 5 minutes, and you will see a group of camels. Riding a camel requires an additional fee of 100 yuan per person. Groups of about five or six people are led by a camel guide for a 40-50 minute ride around the desert. The ride on the camel is quite bumpy, offering a novel experience. 🛬【Itinerary】: The earliest entry time to Mingsha Mountain is 7:30 AM. At this time, there are very few people, and the weather is cool. There is no need to queue for camel rides. After the ride, climbing up the dunes to rest is particularly pleasant. 🧡【Tips】: It is currently the peak summer season, so there may be queues for camel rides on-site. It is recommended to go early or contact the guide in advance to save time.
