When we came in, we rode a camel on a snow-capped mountain, and it was the first time to feel such a view, which is not available in Hangzhou and Guangdong.

The first time I came to the desert, I just arrived at the first snow on the side of the crescent moon, which was quite shocking.

【Commentary】The white snow adorns the ancient county of Dunhuang, and the graceful snowflakes reflect the sunlight more dazzling. In the park in the urban area of Dunhuang, the willow branches seem to be covered with white coats, the green pine trees are covered with snowflakes, and many Dunhuang citizens have gone out of their homes to enjoy the snow outdoors, take pictures of the snow, and pick up their mobile phones to record the beautiful scenery.

This is the first snow in Dunhuang (this year's winter), today's scenery is particularly good, the trees are white, the wall is white, the mood of people is also very good, the air is relatively fresh when people come out, and the mood is very comfortable.

Dunhuang in winter and spring, blue sky and white clouds, warm winter sun, no noisy crowds, boundless queues, more suitable for slowly studying the history and culture of Dunhuang. In order to allow tourists to have a richer travel experience in winter and spring, the local government has launched a number of preferential policies for winter and spring tourism, carried out Dunhuang cultural research season activities, and the large-scale cave-style immersive experience drama "Music Dunhuang" has been performed regularly throughout the year, which has also filled the gap of Dunhuang's winter non-resident tourism and performing arts projects, and at the same time, the Mogao Grottoes Scenic Area has launched a "Feitian" special experience tour route, so that tourists can feel the charm of Dunhuang in the integration of "science and technology and culture".
