Dunhuang Weather in August

Dunhuang weather in August is characterized by high temperature, and plenty of sunshine. Temperature varies from 17°C(63°F) to 33°C(91°F) or more at mid-day. The sun shines for around ten hours, from around 06:45 to 20:30. Tourists are thus advised to stay under shade to avoid the scorching heat at noon.

Due to the summer school holiday in China, August is thus a high travel season. This results in crowded scenic spots. Moreover, the price of flight tickets and hotels may rise a little. There may be difficulty in booking for hotels, flights and tickets to popular destinations.
