As it was a private tour for one I was treated so nicely and full of caring from hotel to hotel service ... especially all in my control of timing and every detail. Visiting dunhuang in low season is great and there is no line up to visit the caves and English speaking on site guide is more relaxingly to answer all my questions impossible in high season as they told me tourists spendat least one hour more to enter and see only people s heads instead of Budda's head weather is cool but nice .... tour guide and driver are excellent humerous and taking care of me all the way the late lunch they brought me to is Fantastic - local personal hotpot !!
