September is the fruits harvesting season, including grapes and pears. So seize the chance to have a fruit feast.

Wanyaodun Nature Reserve, about 80 minutes’ drive from downtown Dunhuang, is home to several species of wild animals, including wild horses, camels, Mongolian gazelle, and golden eagles. This nature reserve aims to protect precious trees, like euphrates poplar and haloxylon.
