Dunhuang attractions

Located at the junction of the southern and northern trade routes that curve around the arid Tarim Basin, Dunhuang was one of ancient China’s major trading posts. At present, many of the historical sites disappeared in the shifting sand dune and erosions by sand and wind. But there are still some very impressive places await the visitors to come: Mogao Grottoes, Crescent Moon Lake and Singing Sand Mountains.
