10/10 Excellent
"Place was beautiful and absolutely amazing the main point of contact Lu Jinyuan was beyond helpful he got us where we wanted to go, arranged the mogao cave tickets got us to there had a driver waiting to pick us up and take us back to the room. So super helpful and extremely patient with English only speakers. Amenities were great he took me for an atv ride through the desert everything was complimentary overall had a great time. Would recommend for travelers from outside china to get a Chinese phone number not just an eSIM and also have WeChat connected with the hotel beforehand."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Mingsha Mountain And Crescent Spring?
