Dunhuang · Day Trip
The desert gates of the oasis - the Yumen Pass, the Han Great Wall and the wind-carved 'Devil City' of the Gobi at golden hour.
Morning drive 90 km northwest to the Jade Gate of the frontier - the Han dynasty customs post and the beacon wall.
The crumbling rammed-earth wall of the Silk Road - the oldest surviving section of the Great Wall, alone in the desert.
Late afternoon in the wind-carved Devil City - the towers and ships of rock in the low light, then the drive home after dark.
