Dunhuang in brief
The city of Dunhuang is located in the very North East of the Gansu Province. As a major stop-off city on the Silk Road, Dunhuang is also known as the "City of Sands" or "Shazhou" (sandbank) due to its long expanses of sand dunes and golden shiny houses. The city flourishes with many historical and touristy sites that invite every traveler to escapism and respect, in a place where one can even wonder if we are still in China! Dunhuang is located in a fertile oasis where the left remnants of a crescent moon lake and the "Singing Sand Mountain" (Mingsha Shan) can still be visited.
