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 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!

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 to know before visiting Jiuquan

Quick snapshot of Jiuquan and what draws visitors

Jiuquan’s Klook bookings are led by tours, attraction passes and cultural experiences, so visitors tend to come for guided trips and local culture. Demand peaks in May and falls to a low in December, giving the city a clear high-season rhythm across the year.

When to visit and how prices behave

According to Klook booking data, May is the busiest month while December typically sees the lowest demand. Prices across the year shift differently from demand: the priciest month by Klook bookings is July, while the typically cheapest month for bookings on Klook is June. That means crowds peak in May, but the highest typical prices arrive slightly later in July, and the lowest typical prices are usually in June. If you want smaller crowds and lower typical prices, aim for June or December; if you want the peak-season atmosphere, plan for May when activity is busiest.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines who book Jiuquan experiences on Klook typically confirm plans around three weeks before travel, with many last-minute bookings within about five days and early planners booking farther ahead. If your trip is flexible, you can often book tours a few days out; if you travel in May (the busiest month), consider booking earlier to secure popular tour slots. Use Klook to compare dates and options so you can lock in the experiences that suit your schedule.
