Traveling in Gansu: Dunhuang Bookstore, a Favorite among Teenagers

After visiting Dunhuang and touring the Mogao Grottoes, Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake, and the western attractions of Dunhuang, if you still have time, we recommend that you check in at the Dunhuang Bookstore. ✅Dunhuang Bookstore In the ancient city of Dunhuang, there is actually a large-scale Dunhuang-themed bookstore - Dunhuang Bookstore. It is located on the bank of Dang River. It is a two-story building and requires shoe covers to enter, which is full of a sense of ritual. 😁There are fewer tourists in the off-season, so there is no need to make an appointment in advance. The bookstore has a collection of nearly 17,000 professional books on Dunhuang published over the years across the country, covering all aspects of Dunhuang. Most of the books in the bookstore cannot be unsealed, but there are also many books that are specially unsealed for customers to read, with pictures and text. I found a book introducing Mogao Grottoes, and combined with my experiences from the visit a few days ago, I read it with great interest. There is also a Sutra Library on the second floor, which is dedicated to displaying a variety of Dunhuang manuscripts, including the collector's edition of "Dunhuang Manuscripts: The First Division of the Vinaya", which is known as the bookstore's "treasure". The design of the bookstore is unique, and the design of the arch incorporates grotto elements. The glass floor on the second floor is covered with Dunhuang-themed reading materials, which is a real eye-opener. 📝Dunhuang cultural and creative products are also scattered throughout the bookstore, ranging from refrigerator magnets, bookmarks, quicksand bottles to scarves, accessories, and blind boxes. Although the prices are slightly higher, the workmanship is exquisite. 🍵You can also taste the limited edition "Dunhuang 1900 Coffee" here. The Mogao Grottoes Library Cave was discovered in 1900, and since then, a corner of the mystery of Dunhuang has been officially unveiled. The special latte art includes the Nine-Colored Deer, Grottoes, etc., which are unique. This unique aesthetic space condenses the legends and beauty of the Silk Road and brings a perfect end to the trip to Dunhuang. It is recommended that you come to the bookstore after visiting other attractions, or you can even take an hour to sit here before leaving Dunhuang. By comparing it with the description in the book, you will better appreciate the beauty of Dunhuang. 📖The bookstore has many seats and a comfortable reading space. The bookstore is especially suitable for literary young people to check in and take photos. The store environment is clean and the staff are friendly. They will not be unhappy even if you just take pictures and don't buy books. Even if you do nothing and just put down your luggage and take a rest in the bookstore, no one will interfere.
