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!

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

Quick snapshot of Jiuquan and what people book

Jiuquan draws bookings mainly for Tours, with smaller numbers for Attraction passes and Cultural experiences, and demand has a clear annual rhythm. Klook booking data shows a strong peak in May and much lower demand at the end of the year.

Best times to visit and how prices behave

According to Klook booking data, May is the busiest month while December sees the weakest demand. Prices move differently to demand: the priciest month on record is July, while the cheapest month on record is typically June. That means the busiest month (May) is not the absolute most expensive — travelers who want peak-season atmosphere should aim for May, whereas those after lower prices and smaller crowds will find better value in June or in the quieter December period. Overall, prices fall from the summer peak into early summer and stay relatively low through the late-year trough.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most visitors booking from the United States tend to finalise plans a few weeks in advance, with a typical lead time of around 19 days and last-minute bookings possible about five days out. If you need flexibility, many Tours can be arranged within a couple of weeks, but during May’s peak it helps to plan earlier; use Klook to compare dates and lock in activities once your dates are set.
