    Highlights

    • Mogao Caves: After numerous cycles, the lamp of the heart shines a thousand lights, benefiting all beings. Yu Qiuyu once wrote about the Mogao Caves: "It is a gathering, a call. It deifies humanity, giving form to it, becoming a colorful dream deep in the national heart, a sacred sediment, a perpetual longing. Can you hear this invisible call in your heart?"
    • Crescent Lake: Crescent Lake is reputed as "one of the most beautiful scenes outside the Great Wall" and one of the "Three Wonders of Dunhuang." You will never know the shock it brings unless you see it with your own eyes.
    • Qinghai Lake: Once rated by "China National Geography" as "the most beautiful lake in China," it is the largest inland saltwater lake in China, resembling a clear blue gem embedded in the embrace of the plateau.
    • Ta'er Monastery: Located on the Qinghai Plateau, it is a solemn Tibetan Buddhist monastery. The monastery is magnificent, like a brilliantly decorated palace. The entire temple is built against the mountain; standing at a height, it gives a sense of layers of peaks and a magnificent grand view. Upon entering the temple, towering ancient trees, standing pagodas, and the echoing sound of bells and drums create a tranquil ambiance.
    • The Hoh Xil: The largest wilderness still existing in China, an unbroken pure land untouched by human activity, is a testimony to life and faith.
