5 Day Private Silk Road Tour Zhangye Jiayuguan and Dunhuang

Travel the Hexi Corridor, the Silk Road route between the snow-capped Qilian Mountains and the Gobi Desert, on a private 5-day journey from Zhangye to Dunhuang with your own English-speaking guide. See the striped hills of Zhangye Danxia at sunset and the red-sandstone gorges of Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon, a quieter spot most tours skip. Walk the walls of Jiayuguan Pass at the western end of the Ming Great Wall, then follow the old caravan road across the desert to Dunhuang. Visit the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with over 1,000 years of Buddhist murals, climb the dunes of Mingsha Shan above Crescent Moon Spring, and finish at the Han-dynasty Yumen Pass and the wind-carved Yadan Geopark. The tour is private for your group only. Entrance tickets, scenic area shuttles and 4 nights in 4- and 5-star standard hotels are included, with pickup timed to your train or flight in Zhangye and drop-off at Dunhuang Airport.
