amazing views and itinerary. hotels planned were good too. guide (曹师傅）was caring and ensured that we were taken cared of, he had to drive very far between places because this itinerary covers a lot in 5 days. would recommend this tour for those who want to cover the silk road with a personal guide!

Hello, Master Lu! Our 5-day Dunhuang trip has come to an end. Thank you for your enthusiastic companionship, dedicated service, and thoughtful care over the past few days. Although our journey was tiring, you brought us peace of mind, comfort, and joy every step of the way! Thank you again, and I wish you a lifetime of peace and happiness! If we have the chance to visit Dunhuang again, I hope we can meet and travel together once more. Remember our agreement, and I wish you good luck!

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.

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!

Quick facts about Jiuquan
General info
What to know before visiting Jiuquan
What to do in Jiuquan
Jiuquan’s strongest draw is its Tours, followed by Attraction passes and Cultural experiences, so most visitors plan a mix of guided trips and hands-on cultural time. Klook booking data shows demand peaks in May when organised excursions and outdoor activities are in full swing, while December is much quieter. If you’re deciding when to visit, weigh whether you want the liveliest festival and touring atmosphere or a calmer pace: choose peak-season atmosphere in May or quieter, off-peak months for more space and lower crowds. All observations are based on Klook booking data.
Best months to visit and price trends
Demand on Klook hits its high point in May and drops to a low in December; price behaviour across the year is mixed. The most expensive month seen in the price window was July, while the lowest median price came in June. That means the busiest month (May) is not the priciest, so you can enjoy lively local energy without the peak prices of July. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider June or December; for the atmosphere of peak demand choose May. These patterns come from Klook booking data.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Busier than usual | AUD 143 |
| February | Very quiet | AUD 90 |
| March | Quieter than usual | AUD 93 |
| April | About average | AUD 109 |
| May | Peak demand | AUD 121 |
| June | About average | AUD 61 |
| July | About average | AUD 491 |
| August | About average | AUD 164 |
| September | About average | AUD 119 |
| October | About average | AUD 166 |
| November | About average | AUD 119 |
| December | Very quiet | AUD 116 |
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.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Australian travellers typically book further ahead here — most experiences are locked in about 19 days ahead, and the earliest planners book roughly 39 days out, based on Klook booking data. That means you should plan and reserve popular Tours in May and the pricier July period earlier rather than leaving everything to the last minute. There’s still room for flexibility: some last-minute options appear within about 5 days, but peak months reward earlier booking. Use Klook to compare typical prices and secure your preferred tour times and cultural experiences in advance.
