The scenery of Yangguan Scenic Area is very distinctive, the traces of history have been weathered, and the only remnants left are the ruins of the broken wall, but from the ruins of the broken wall, we can see the wisdom and efforts of the ancients, the importance of customs in ancient times and the danger of war...

Opposite the hotel is the Dunhuang Museum. I went to the Danghe River in the morning and opened the museum when I came back. I have made an appointment in advance and it is convenient and fast to enter the museum. There are a large number of historical relics displayed here, each exhibit carries the memory of history, lightly talking about the glory and glory of Dunhuang, so that tourists can feel the prosperity and glory of that era.

Dunhuang Bookstore is located on the banks of the Dang River. The interior environment is absolutely aesthetically pleasing. The first floor mainly features cultural and creative products, while the second floor has a very rich collection of books, mostly related to Dunhuang. You can sit quietly all day with good books, coffee, and snacks. In the evening, as the sun sets, you can see a different kind of scenery outside the window!

Built in the early 1950s for oil exploration and development, Lenghu was the site of a major oil well eruption in 1955, attracting a large number of oil workers and their families. At its peak, the population exceeded 100,000, earning it the nickname "Little Hong Kong in the Gobi Desert." Lenghu oilfield production plummeted in 1980, and excessive radioactivity in drinking water was detected in the early 1990s. Aksai County was relocated in 1995, and the town was abandoned. In 2015, the film "Nine-story Demon Tower" was filmed here, bringing it back into the public eye. Off-holiday, the area is sparsely visited, and it appears rather desolate. If you're not particularly fond of this area, don't go there.

It is a shining gem on the Silk Road and a tourist destination that tourists yearn for. The architectural style of Crescent Moon Lake Town is unique, and the legacy of the Han and Tang Dynasties is overwhelming. The simple and elegant pavilions, the corridors with carved beams and painted buildings, every detail shows the charm of the thousand-year-old ancient city.

The boss has a nice voice and is a handsome guy. He is the same in his work and life. He took us to ride a beach off-road motorcycle, which was so exciting. I like this kind of passion. The desert is endless and it feels so good to walk barefoot on the sand.
