I spent 5 days in Dunhuang during the winter off-season, and let me talk about my feelings. .

Is it worth visiting Dunhuang during the winter off-season (December to March)? I just came back from Dunhuang this month and joined a small group just for fun. I personally think it’s super worth it~ There are very few people in the off-season! You don’t have to look at people like in peak season, just focus on the scenery. It’s fun and easy to take pictures! Dunhuang after the snow! Who can still tell whether it is a desert or a snow-capped mountain? The benefits of going to Dunhuang in winter! √Visit the 12 caves of the Mogao Grottoes without worrying about not being able to buy tickets √Half-price tickets to Mingsha Mountain, and even free events~ √ Hotel price reductions and discounts are completely different from the situation of not being able to book good hotels during peak seasons. √No need to queue for various attractions and restaurants, it’s great to book a reservation~ √Have the opportunity to see Mingsha Mountain and Colorful Danxia covered by heavy snow~ About wearing Temperature: -11 ℃ to 2 ℃, outdoor wear is required [Thick down jacket, jacket + thermal underwear + sweater + long johns + cotton pants + hat, gloves and scarf] If the weather is sunny and the sun is strong, it won’t be too cold to do outdoor activities. Itinerary introduction D1: Dunhuang airport pick-up and hotel check-in D2: Dunhuang Museum-Dunhuang Bookstore-Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring D3: Mogao Grottoes - Son of the Earth - Unbounded - Yulin Grottoes - Dunhuang D4: Dunhuang - Yumen Pass - Yadan Devil City - Shazhou Night Market D5: Yangguan-Dunhuang is dismissed and sent off to the airport About the hotel Dunhuang Luye Hotel The accommodation arranged by the small group is a local 4-diamond hotel in Dunhuang. We stay for 4 consecutive nights and don’t need to carry luggage. It’s super convenient. The hotel environment is very good and the service staff are very friendly. It's also very convenient for eating and shopping around. Dunhuang tips in winter If you want to bring children, it is recommended to take children over 5 years old. If your children are too young, they will not be able to understand the Mogao Grottoes and will find it very boring. In winter, the sunrise time in Dunhuang is about 9 o'clock and the sunset time is 6:30. It will be very cold after the sun sets, so be sure to wear more clothes when watching the stars. Winter in the northwest will be relatively dry, so be sure to prepare lipstick, facial cream, etc.
