Dunhuang Yardang National Geopark

An extremely remote scenic spot. It is more than a hundred kilometers away from Dunhuang city, and continuing forward leads to Lop Nor, where casual crossing is presumably not allowed.

The journey is extremely desolate, passing by the Yumenguan Pass.

There will be military restricted areas en route, which on satellite images should be aerospace or aircraft testing sites. It is said that recoverable rockets were once tested here.

My suggestion is that there is no need to make a special trip to see it. It is truly too far, and it cannot be combined with other routes to form a circuit. This means that driving over two hundred kilometers in one day will only get you to this one place.
