▲ Touching the Pulse of Han and Tang Dynasties: Ascend the ruins of Yumen Pass, where rammed earth walls stand silently under the blazing Gobi sun. Fingertips trace the weathered surfaces, as if hearing the distant chime of camel bells and the neighing of warhorses. The banners of Ban Chao, the retreating figure of Xuanzang, and the sighs of poets—all once lingered here.
▲ Stepping into Dunhuang Yardang National Geopark feels like time has been fast-forwarded. The masterful craftsmanship of millennia of wind erosion has sculpted grand formations resembling a fleet setting sail, a jade peacock standing gracefully, and sphinx-like figures... Towering peaks in countless fantastical shapes create a landscape so surreal it resembles an alien fleet descending upon Earth.
