Fantastic 5.0
Our guide, Iris, was excellent—the best guide we could have asked for. She is very knowledgeable about the area, incredibly friendly, and dedicated to guiding us and explaining every aspect of the tour. She took us to a delicious place to eat, and the experience with her ensured that Dunhuang holds a special place in our hearts. We hope to see her again someday. I highly recommend this tour, and if you have her as your guide, your trip will be unforgettable!

Our guide, Xiao Guan, was easygoing and cheerful, and very talkative. He shared local customs and traditions throughout the journey, making the long drives full of laughter. What was most impressive was his thoughtfulness: before we got out at each attraction, he would provide detailed touring tips in advance. He also flexibly adjusted our itinerary based on the weather and available time. Along the way, he didn't forget to recommend authentic local dishes, and thanks to him, we discovered several small eateries known only to locals. With him, the entire trip was worry-free and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

What a wonderful tour! My wife and I visited the Grand Loop for the first time, and these are truly unique places: delightful salt lakes, dunes, yaks and other animals, colorful mountains, the opportunity to experience local traditions and art, and to try the national cuisine. Special thanks to the agency for organizing the trip, and to our guide and driver, who were always helpful in every way and took our interests into account. The only thing to keep in mind is the rather long distances between attractions. You should be prepared for this and be patient, because what you see will surely stay in your memory forever. Thank you!

our 6-day luxury tour is really a memorable one. 5-star accomodations, convenient locations, excellent hospitality and wonderful experience. Throughout the 6 days, we had a private driver, also our trip manager Ms. Fei-er, a capable lady who is knowledable, professional and understanding. She planned everthing well that made this route which supposed to be tiring, became more relaxing and enjoyable. Although the package did not cover most of the meals (except for the standard hotel breakfast), she made nice recommendations on food as well. cheap price, local taste, delicious food.

What to know before visiting Jiuquan

What to do in Jiuquan year-round

Jiuquan’s most-booked experiences on Klook are Tours, followed by Attraction passes and Cultural experiences, so visitors should expect a mix of guided outings, multi-attraction options and hands-on local programs. Demand follows a clear annual rhythm: May is the busiest month while December is the quietest, according to Klook booking data. That means if you value lively markets and fuller tour options, visit in May for peak-season atmosphere; if you prefer emptier sites and greater flexibility, aim for the quieter winter month instead.

Best months to visit and prices

Demand on Klook peaks in May and drops to a trough in December, while prices over the last 12 months have their highest median in July and their lowest in June. There are months when crowds and prices move together and months when they diverge: July is pricier even though demand is only around average, so booking then pays less on value; June shows the lowest typical price while demand is moderate to low. For lower prices and smaller crowds choose June or December; for the liveliest atmosphere choose May.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Busier than usual USD 96
February Very quiet USD 60
March Quieter than usual USD 62
April About average USD 73
May Peak demand USD 81
June Quieter than usual USD 41
July About average USD 329
August About average USD 110
September About average USD 80
October About average USD 111
November About average USD 80
December Very quiet USD 78

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Planning tips for travellers

Most travellers who booked through Klook locked experiences in advance — typically around 19 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking about 39 days out. Treat this as a planning market: confirm key tours a few weeks before travel, and consider booking even earlier for travel in May or July when demand or prices climb. Klook’s platform makes it easy to compare options and secure cancellation-friendly bookings, so use the app to reserve experiences you care about ahead of time and keep your itinerary flexible.
