An excellent day out. Highly enjoyable. The guide spoke good English and was friendly and welcoming. The Mogao Caves are well worth seeing - went round with a guide who worked on the site. Lots of information about the style of art and statues inside the caves. The afternoon was great - completely different. Had a camel ride up the dunes and a walk around the lake. A well planned day which allowed for some flexibility. Lunch was provided and was tasty and plentiful. Definitely recommend.

Lieu magnifique et chargé d’histoire , mais devenu un véritable parc d’attractions, avec balades en chameau, ascension des dunes et descente en luges de plastique et bien sûr envahi par des milliers de touristes chinois qui ne semblent pas être très intéressés par la Route de la soie !
