Many people may wonder: Is winter a good time to visit Dunhuang? Here, we’d especially like to tell you — winter in Dunhuang is simply stunning!
Dunhuang and Beijing are at the same latitude, so winter temperatures are roughly similar. Plus, there’s a big advantage — large day-night temperature variations. Aside from being relatively cold in the early morning and late evening, the rest of the day is quite warm. That’s why there’s a saying: “Wear cotton-padded clothes in the morning, gauze in the afternoon, and eat watermelon by the stove.” Pictures speak louder than words.
Faced with such a scene, one can’t help but borrow the name of that classic movie by Jean Reno — “This Dunhuang is not that cold”!
