[quote=LEMONCACTUS,389368]Hi Crosis, I did the Yumen Gate, parts of the old wall and Yadan (weird rock formations) in a (very long) day hiring a taxi. The Yumen Gate seemed to be in the middle of nowhere; it's all just desert out there, and very, very few people - I was there in the middle of summer. I'm not sure how you could get to the village, as there's very infrequent public transport, or you'd have to hire a taxi to take you out there, but you'd have to pay a return as there's likely to be no-one out there to take back. Then you'd have the same problem getting back. Few tourists make it out there, and I would doubt that the village is anything other than a jumble of houses - Dunhuang isn't much itself [mood1] I'm usually one for doing this sort of thing, and like your idea, but at best I think it will be extremely difficult to arrange logistically. You might want to think about watching the sun rise and set over the dunes at Mingshashan instead? Someone else may, of course, have better advice. Have a great trip, LC[/quote]
