About this guide

DunhuangTours.com is an independent guide to Dunhuang in Gansu, China: the Mogao Caves, Mingsha Shan and the Crescent Lake, Yumen Pass and the Yadan geopark. We are not a tour operator, the Dunhuang Academy, a ticket office or Viator, and we do not run tours of our own. For official visitor information on the caves, see the Dunhuang Academy.

Facts here are checked against the Dunhuang Academy, the official Mogao reservation system, UNESCO, the operators' own listings on Viator (including recent guest reviews) and other published sources. Prices, ticket rules and schedules change; when a listing and this page disagree, the listing at checkout wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a Viator link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we recommend, including telling you when you can book a Mogao ticket yourself. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
