It is a city surrounded by desert, and it is known for its sand dunes, camel rides and theMogao Caveswhere you can see some ancient artwork and carvings. The camel rides are a particularly fun way to travel around and see the landscape.
The Buddhist caves are a place to go if you are interested in Silk Road history. Half a day is enough to see the caves since most tourists only see about ten of the hundreds of them. Enjoy a guided tour. We have tours ranging in duration from a day to a week along the Silk Road.
