Dūnhuáng Getting there & around

Getting around

You can hire bikes from the travellers cafés for Y1 per hour. Getting to some of the outlying sights by bike is possible, but hard work at the height of summer.

To charter a ride for the sights around town, the minibuses across from the Jiàrì Dàjiǔdiàn on Mingshan Lu is one place to start negotiations.

Dūnhuáng’s airport is 13km east of town. A taxi costs Y20.
