*** [There are tens of millions of things to note when traveling to the Northwest, please focus on these few]**

1. The climate in most areas of the northwest is dry. In order to enhance resistance, you should increase your intake of vegetables and fruits. Avoid eating mutton without restraint. It is recommended to drink more water and eat less and more meals when eating fruits. To prevent gastrointestinal discomfort, please bring your own commonly used medicines.
2. Many places in the northwest are inhabited by Muslims of all ethnic groups. When dining in any halal restaurant, be careful not to bring in non-beef and mutton food, do not drink alcohol, and try not to waste food.
3. The distance between cities is long and the scenic spots are scattered, so the ride time is long. Please be prepared to endure hardships and prepare motion sickness medicine. Most tourist buses are fully enclosed.
4. The northwest is relatively dry, so please pay attention to replenishing water at any time and drink more water. Ultraviolet rays are strong, so please prepare masks, sunscreen, sunglasses and other items. In summer, you should also be equipped with heat-clearing and heatstroke-preventing drugs or granules. Such as Xia Sangju Granules, Shi Dishui, etc. *5. When traveling in the northwest, some scenic spots require you to get off the car and experience walking. Therefore, it is recommended that you prepare a pair of comfortable, well-fitting and easy-to-walk shoes before departure, preferably flat shoes.
5. If you visit a Muslim home, do not enter the kitchen without permission. Non-Muslims are generally not welcome to visit Muslim kitchens, and do not enter the room of the owner, especially the hostess. Do not touch religious artifacts. *7. The northwest region has a large temperature difference between day and night. When sleeping at night, the air conditioner should be turned on to a moderate level and should not be too cold. Cover yourself with a quilt when sleeping to avoid physical discomfort.
6. When purchasing items, be sure to pay attention. Ethnic minority people in the western region have relatively straightforward personalities. They should bargain before making sure they want to buy. *9. It is strictly prohibited to take pictures of Buddha statues in temples or temple halls. Please pay attention to the precautions in front of the temple.
7. All rubbish generated during the event will be taken away. Forest plants will not be picked to maintain the team image. Valuables and wallets should be carried with you and you will be responsible for any loss.

• Tips for visiting Mogao Grottoes:

1. Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes Scenic Spot has implemented an appointment-based visit model for the digital exhibition center, digital cave display and Mogao Grottoes physical cave experience since June 2015. Only 6,000 people can visit per day. Group visit times are strictly based on Mogao Grottoes reservations. Sessions are conducted. Therefore, the order of visiting the Dunhuang scenic spots will be adjusted according to the time of Mogao Grottoes or guests in the same group may arrange visits at different times. Please cooperate. *2. The period from July to October is the peak tourist season in the northwest. During this period, the Mogao Grottoes will open emergency visit mode every other day (the emergency visit mode arranges visits to 4 physical caves and does not visit the digital center). During this period, the team may arrange emergency mode visits, and the price difference for emergency visits will be refunded at 138 yuan per person. *3. If the tickets for Mogao Grottoes are sold out and the reservation is not successful and the tour cannot be arranged, we will adjust the itinerary to visit the “West Thousand Buddha Caves” and refund the price difference of 170 yuan per person.
