Dunhuang Core Scenic Area Tickets Half Price

From December 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, Dunhuang is launching a major travel discount policy: all tickets to the four core scenic areas—Mogao Caves, Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake, Yangguan and Yumenguan Tourist Area, and Yadan National Geological Park—are half price! The number of open caves at Mogao Caves will increase from 8 in the peak season to 10, allowing more millennium-old murals and sculptures to be fully displayed, letting you experience the Silk Road legend up close. The Hexi Corridor, a civilization corridor nestled between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Mongolian Plateau, is the golden section of the ancient Silk Road, carrying millennia of historical memories. From Emperor Wu of Han establishing the four counties of Hexi, to Zhang Qian’s pioneering journeys, to Xuanzang’s westward pilgrimage, from the camel bells of Sogdian merchants to the convergence and coexistence of Buddhism and other religions, this is a flowing history of cultural integration. When you come to Dunhuang and visit the Mogao Caves, you will see the perfect fusion of Chinese civilization, ancient Indian Buddhist art, and ancient Greek sculptural art. With 735 caves and 45,000 square meters of murals, it is truly breathtaking. Come to Dunhuang, take advantage of fewer crowds and better prices, touch the marks of millennia-old civilization, and embark on a journey of dialogue between East and West across a thousand years. It will definitely be a rewarding trip you won’t regret!
