Life advice: A summer must-go to Dunhuang to enjoy top-tier Eastern aesthetics

Promise me! You must visit at least once in your life! To see with my own eyes 👀 the Crescent Lake and Mogao Caves from my childhood textbooks, I traveled thousands of miles to Dunhuang!
👍🏻Xiao Ye strongly recommends a private customized tour, riding in a 7/9-seat high-end business vehicle 🚗 with plenty of space and wide views, giving the feeling of traveling on a sofa—it's really so comfortable~ You can also stay at a wild luxury desert hotel 🏨, sleeping in art and playing near the attractions. This is the right way to experience Dunhuang travel!
