Three Cities 5A Joint Winter and Spring Travel Promotion

From December 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, the three national 5A-level tourist attractions—Dunhuang, Jiayuguan, and Zhangye—break regional barriers to launch the "Three Cities 5A Joint Mutual Benefit" policy, creating a millennium-spanning winter and spring cultural tourism feast. Visitors who purchase a ticket to any one of the Dunhuang Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring, Jiayuguan Cultural Relics Scenic Area, or Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park can enjoy a 20% discount on tickets at the other two attractions, making it the "most cost-effective Silk Road tour in history." In winter, Dunhuang’s Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring are draped in a silvery veil over the dunes, with the crisp sound of camel bells and the Crescent Spring embedded like jade, creating a picturesque scene of sand and spring; Jiayuguan Cultural Relics Scenic Area features snow-covered city towers and biting north winds, echoing the sounds of clashing swords and horses, evoking an era of iron and passion; Zhangye Danxia’s colorful hills are lightly dusted with snow, interweaving red, yellow, orange, and white hues, where visitors can walk along wooden boardwalks to appreciate nature’s craftsmanship while waiting for sunrise and sunset. History enthusiasts, photography lovers, and family travelers will all find poetry and distant dreams here. Set off now and let the winds of the Hexi Corridor blow away the city’s noise, leaving your soul shaken and touched. The northwest’s winter and spring temperatures are low, so remember to bring plenty of windproof and warm clothing!
