3.0White Horse Pagoda of Dunhuang(28 reviews) - Great place for a quiet picnic. Thursday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Architectural Buildings • Monuments & Statues
A taxi should only cost 20 Kuai, but it really isn't that far out of town for a walk. The street is marked with an English sign, and you can see some of the rural aspects of life in Dunhuang, like mountains of corncobs drying in the sun. It's 15 Kuai to get in, and it's very peaceful. We enjoyed the sun and ate on one of the many benches around. One tourist arrived while we were there. Nice picnic location.See more..
A nice stop , worth visiting grottoes without the massive crowds of Mogao- you will likely be alone. Not as comprehensive or as impressive as Mogao but still quite amazing. Most of the caves are redone by Ming dynasty but original sculpture bases from Tang and Song can be observed and the paintings are generally in good shape as well, with a fair number from the Western Xia period. Tour will cover about 6-7 caves and last about 1 hr. About a 2.5 hr drive from Dunhuang, so if you are on the way to or from the town it makes sense to visit but would not advise going if you are in Dunhuang already- the Mogao will be more than sufficient and you will likely feel the long drive was not worth it.See more..

4.0De'erlong Temple(4 reviews) - Friendly festival in beautiful temple Thursday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Religious Sites • Monuments & Statues
We happened to past this temple yesterday while travelling from Lanzhou to Xiahe....there was a huge pilgrims gathering in the temple and surrounding fields. After being dropped to Xiahe we headed back to the festival in local taxi we picked on the road (32km /100 rmb return trip and wait for around 3 hrs)...It is beautiful temple and friendly monks invited us to see the ceremonies....later we had walked through the camping site and have an brief insight in nomads lifes....on any other day, this monastery would make a nice stop for few hours. If in area, give it a go!See more..
