Also, the Ancient City of Dunhuang 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. To the north there is Yumen Pass on the Great Wall. The ruins of the Yanguan Pass lie south of the city.

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.
