Interstellar Cloud Tour · Dunhuang
Interstellar Cloud Tour meets you at the airport and gives you three private days: Yangguan, Yumen Pass and the Han wall, then Mogao and the dunes, then the Yulin Caves and the ruined city of Suoyang. Pick it if you want the far sites too, Yulin above all, and would rather not book each day apart.
Day 1 covers the two Han passes: Yangguan with its museum, about 70 km from town, and Yumen Pass with the Great Wall of the Han dynasty. Day 2 is Mogao and Mingsha Shan. Day 3 goes east to the Yulin Caves, about 170 km and 2.5 hours away by road (China Discovery), a smaller cave site with its own murals, and to the earth walls of Suoyang city.
The listing includes a local guide, transport by air-conditioned minivan or coach, hotel pickup and drop-off, bottled water and lunch on each of the three days. Hotels are not included, and the inclusion list does not mention entry tickets. Budget for them unless the operator confirms otherwise in writing: Mogao is CNY 238 in peak season, Yulin about CNY 55, Mingsha Shan CNY 110 and Yumen Pass CNY 40.
