Firstly, drive around 30mins to visit the Mogao Grottoes, among the numerous tourist attractions along the Silk Roads, Mogao Caves Scenic Area is classical and should not be missed. The Mogao Grottoes (also known as Thousand Buddha Cave) is one of three noted grottoes in China and also the largest, best preserved and richest treasure house of Buddhist art in the world. Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is a largest quantity of Buddhist sutras and relics kept in the caves have provided valuable material for a study of ancient China's politics, economy, and culture and arts, as well as its science and technology, military affairs, and religion, documenting national history as well as cultural exchanges between China and the world.

After lunch, our guide will escort you to the Mingsha Mountain (Crescent Lake), Mingsha mountain makes a sound when it is sunny or someone is sliding down from the mountain, so it is called Mingsha mountain. There is also a strange phenomenon here. Because of the terrain, when the wind blows, the sand does not go down the mountain, but flows from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, so Crescent Lake will never be buried by the sand, which is called a desert wonder. If time is permit, you also have an option to experience the camel-riding from Mingsha Mountain to Crescent Lake.
