Among all of Dunhuang's attractions, the Mogao Grottoes (also known as the Dunhuang Grottoes) are definitely the most worthy of scenery. This site boasts the largest collection of Buddhist grottoes in existence in China. Many of the 492 grottoes here date back as early as one thousand years ago (covering a period of ten dynasties). Perhaps the most famous aspect of Dunhuang's grottoes is the murals that feature Buddhist stories, folk culture, farming and hunting as their main themes. Meanwhile, Dunhuang, the Ancient City, isn't exactly what you might think it is. It is actually a gigantic movie set where you can get a feel for ancient Dunhuang. However, for the real thing, you can explore the Yang guan Pass and Yumen guan Pass great ruins that protect the real Ancient City of Dunhuang from western barbarians and invaders. Dunhuang also prides itself on its charming natural beauty. Crescent Moon Spring and the Singing Sand Mountains are fantastic way to experience the desert landscape of Dunhuang.

一．西北紫外线强，日照较长，需要自备遮阳伞，遮阳帽以及防晒霜眼镜、防晒霜等；
二、一些景区（如鸣沙山等）沙子较多，注意保护好照相机，最好随照 随关镜头盖；滑沙游玩时，手机要放在不易掉出的口袋里。
三、穿一双跟脚、透气性好的鞋，可以为您的旅途省去不必要的麻烦，让您的心思能够全部放在景点上，感觉好极了！

五、来到甘肃，特色之一是清真餐多，（牛，羊肉为主）汉餐少，您要有心理准备，可自带些可口小咸菜，饼干等。
六、到甘肃，忌讳在回族、聚集的地方或清真餐厅谈论关于"猪"的话题，这是民族感情问题哦！
七、甘肃河西地区及青海地区的气温一般在16—28摄氏度左右，温差较大，应当及时增添衣物！（请备厚衣服，线裤）
八、参加自费项目时，（如骑骆驼，滑沙）一定考虑自己身体状况，注意安全！
