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 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.

Great 4.0
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!

The entire journey exploring the Hexi Corridor along the Silk Road went smoothly and was very well organized. Traveling through this unique side of China offered a completely different perspective rich in history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. I highly recommend following the itinerary step by step, as each destination is carefully planned and adds meaningful context to the overall experience. It truly feels like walking through history. The driver also as our guide, was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the trip. Their support made the journey even more enjoyable and comfortable. Overall, this tour is highly recommended for anyone interested in discovering a lesser-known yet historically significant region of China.

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!

Very interesting. At Yang Guang, we experienced archery, and it was a lot of fun! We also rode in the donkey cart!

What to know before visiting Jiuquan

Overview of Jiuquan and what travellers book

Jiuquan draws most Klook bookings for tours, attraction passes and cultural experiences, with demand rising and falling through the year. May is the busiest month for bookings while December sees the lightest demand, so the city’s visitor rhythm swings between a clear high season and a very quiet winter.

When to visit and how prices behave

Klook booking data show May as the peak month and December as the trough. Prices move differently from demand: the priciest month on record is July while the cheapest month is typically June, so crowds and costs do not always peak together. If you want lower prices and fewer people, aim for June or December; for peak-season atmosphere pick May or the mid-summer months when activity and some prices trend higher.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers tend to book around three weeks ahead on Klook, with some last-minute options available about five days out, so you can be flexible but planning pays off for popular dates. For Malaysia departures, consider booking tours a few weeks in advance if you’re travelling in May or July, and use Klook to lock in tickets and passes early to secure your preferred dates.
