Dunhuang Must-Visit Hidden Gem Hotel

Just got back from Dunhuang, and staying at Xingzi Hotel was full of pleasant surprises! Especially its excellent location—only a 5-minute walk to Shazhou Night Market, making it super convenient for eating and shopping. It’s also just a 15-minute drive to Mogao Caves and Crescent Lake, perfectly covering all the must-visit spots in Dunhuang 🌟 🏨 Hotel Highlights: • Prime Location: Right in the city center, within walking distance to the night market, with plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. For those driving, no worries about parking—the hotel has its own parking lot. • Heartwarming Service: The front desk staff are incredibly friendly, not only helping plan your itinerary but also proactively assisting with parking and luggage in the evening. They even consider small details like care during menstruation, which truly touched my heart ❤️ 📸 Check-in Tips: 1. The hotel has a laundry room, super convenient for washing off sand after playing at Mingsha Mountain. 2. Must-try at Shazhou Night Market: donkey meat yellow noodles and apricot peel water, just a 3-minute walk from the hotel. 3. When photographing the stairs, remember to use a wide-angle lens to capture a sense of depth. Nearby Attractions Recommendations: Morning: Take advantage of the cool weather to visit Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake (15-minute drive) Afternoon: In-depth tour of Mogao Caves (advance ticket booking recommended) Evening: Explore Shazhou Night Market and enjoy late-night snacks (3-minute walk back to the hotel is super convenient) ⚠️ Notes: • Dunhuang has strong UV rays, so be sure to bring sun protection. • It’s recommended to prepare disposable bed sheets in advance (a must for cleanliness enthusiasts). • Parking can be tight during peak season, so it’s best to return early. • If you want a quiet room, request one away from the elevator. • Don’t forget to bring moisturizing skincare products; the northwest is really dry!
