Before the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday in China, the cultural tourism market in Dunhuang city, Gansu province is heating up every day as the number of visitors flocking to visit increases dramatically.
Tourists from all over come to Don Hoang ancient citadel to immerse themselves in the majestic desert scenery, admire the ancient beauty of Mac Cao cave, explore Minh Sa Son sand dunes and visit the ancient gateway relic Ngoc Mon Quan. Here, visitors can fully experience the space imbued with history and the cultural attraction of thousands of years left on the Silk Road.
One of the stops attracting special attention this fall is the Huyen Tuyen Dich site located in the vast Gobi desert. At the Huyen Tuyen Dich Site Museum, many tourists came to visit and learn about the largest ancient epidemic station in the Han Dynasty, which once played a vital role connecting the Central Plains and the Western Region.
Established by the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago and operating continuously until the Wei - Jin Dynasties, Xuanquan Yi is the most intact post office relic of the Han Dynasty in China and the only ancient post office on the Silk Road systematically excavated. In 2014, UNESCO honored this place as part of the World Heritage Site belonging to the Chang'an - Tianshan corridor network.
The harmonious combination of archaeological heritage conservation and modern display space at Dunhuang continues to create irresistible attraction, making the golden sand region a bright spot on the Chinese heritage tourism map this fall.
