Visit Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes

Live in snow mountain yurts

Walk into Ruyi Gansu together

Dunhuang is located at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor and is a famous city on the ancient Silk Road. Historically, it was the only passage from the Central Plains to the Western Regions and even Europe. It was the confluence of the four ancient civilizations of China, India, Greece, and Islam.

Created the "art gallery in the desert" - Mogao Grottoes. It is the reason for most travelers to visit Dunhuang. Mogao Grottoes is the most abundant Buddhist art site in the world, because it contains profound history, brilliant culture, high artistic achievements, and devout beliefs. It is known as a place that "must come once in a lifetime".

In addition, the oasis Crescent Lake surrounded by Mingsha Mountain, and the desolate Gobi desert in the west. Here, the sand hills and springs coexist, and the sand moves with sound, and you can feel the desolation and vastness of the northwest desert. Describing this vast desert, which was once full of various styles, is still full of brilliance.


Subei County, 100 kilometers away from Dunhuang, can be reached in 1.5 hours by car. And the mysterious Yanchi Bay, which few people come to, is here.

Yanchi Bay is located in the Qilian Mountains in the southeastern part of Subei County, on the upper reaches of the Dang River, Shule River, and Yulin River. It is 130 kilometers away and takes 2 hours to reach by car.

The scenery along the way is gradually opening to you

Come to Yanchi Bay

Stepping on the accelerator, splashing on the grassland

Capture these moments with video:

In the morning, thin clouds and mist, the snow-capped mountains are embedded in the Gobi

Rugged and revealing its heroism

...

The destination of this trip is Yanchi Bay. The further the car goes, the larger the coverage of the grassland, the vast horizon can't be seen, and there are scattered sheep grazing leisurely along the way, a few dozen of them, Thousands more.

"The sky is dark, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep." This is the most realistic portrayal here.

On the grassland, sheep cannot graze in one place all the time, in order to allow the sheep to absorb better nutrition and protect the pasture. Herdsmen need ten days and a half months to change places, and natural fertilizers such as sheep dung and cow dung are absorbed by the land after degradation, and then grow better grass. This is the wisdom of survival.

DJI desert, Gobi stretches

Run and advance together with the flock of scattered herds

The swaying body of the car yelled

stronger than sheep

we are young

Who said no!


The Gobi is the system with the lowest biomass, and all the drought-tolerant plants grow. Although the ground is very dry, you can find natural lakes at a glance for camels and birds to drink. This is its charm.

Gobi and mountain roads surround the entire Yanchi Bay

Say "I love freedom"!

Wrestling (wrestling), archery, and horse racing are the three essential skills of the Mongols. Horses are the best playmates of grassland Mongolians. Children on the prairie will be given a pony from birth, and this pony will grow up with the child as a playmate. When the child is 6 or 7 years old, he can learn to ride a horse.

The annual Naadam Festival is a traditional festival with a long history of the Mongolian people. It starts on the fourth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar every year and lasts for five days. There will be competitive games and programs such as poker, archery, horse racing, Mongolian chess, singing and dancing. All of them show the pride, bravery and freedom of the Mongolian people.

Let go of distractions and distractions and stay here

Let go of the pressure and ride in this complicated road environment

The heart is also swinging to fly!

Embedded with blue sky, green grass, cattle, sheep, and horses

There is no picture scroll like nature at this moment

I forgot how many miles I walked

The welcome ceremony was grand. The mutton on the grassland was killed by the herdsmen himself. The mutton was cooked with white water and had no smell at all. Each person will be equipped with a small knife, and use the blade to remove the meat from the bones. If you go outward, you will accidentally hurt the other party. This is also the details and etiquette of hospitality in the grassland Mongolians.

The Mongolian milk tea brewed by herdsmen is full of mellow fragrance. Accompanied by the Mongolian tunes played by the Matouqin, the distant and tranquility connects our hearts.

The wetland of Yanchi Bay is an alpine desert wetland composed of rivers, herbs and marsh wetlands. It is not only a rare wetland resource in the alpine desert, but also an important food supply and resting place on the north-south migration channel of birds in my country. Migratory birds mainly include black-necked cranes, bar-headed geese, ruddy shelducks, and white-crowned chickens.
