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!

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!

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 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!

What to know before visiting Jiuquan

What to expect in Jiuquan

Jiuquan draws most bookings for Tours, followed by Attraction passes and Cultural experiences, so the city suits travellers who want organised sightseeing and hands-on cultural activities. Klook booking data shows demand spikes in May and falls away by December, so the year swings between a lively late-spring peak and a very quiet winter low. For deciding when to go, think about whether you want the energetic atmosphere of May or the calmer months later in the year — choose between peak-season buzz and quieter off-peak travel. All observations above are based on Klook booking data.

When to visit and how prices move

May is Jiuquan’s busiest month according to Klook booking data, while December is the quietest, so plan around those moods when you want atmosphere or solitude. Prices across the year vary: July shows the highest typical paid on Klook, and June the lowest, so there are months where crowds and prices move together and months where they diverge. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in June or December; for the peak-season atmosphere aim for May.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Busier than usual PHP 5,709
February Very quiet PHP 3,568
March Quieter than usual PHP 3,687
April About average PHP 4,341
May Peak demand PHP 4,817
June Very quiet PHP 2,438
July About average PHP 19,564
August About average PHP 6,541
September About average PHP 4,757
October About average PHP 6,601
November About average PHP 4,757
December Very quiet PHP 4,638

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 the Philippines

Most travellers book ahead: on Klook people typically lock things in about 19 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking roughly 39 days out. That means you have to plan a bit in advance to secure popular Tours in May, when demand peaks. If you prefer flexibility, last-minute options still exist within about 5 days of travel, but availability is tighter in peak months. Use Klook to compare typical prices and book activities you want early; Klook booking data suggests doing so will help you get the experiences and dates you prefer.
