李广记杏皮茶

🍭🍭I accidentally saw Li Guangji Apricot Peel Tea at the Shazhou Night Market in Dunhuang. I saw a lot of people queuing up, so I went to join in the fun. The line to pay was quite fast. It took about 5 minutes to get the line, and I waited about 20 minutes to get the tea. 🍭🍭Their apricot peel tea mainly has three flavors: original, white peach oolong, and peach blossom overflow. I feel that white peach oolong and apricot peel tea are also quite a match, but I still tried the original flavor for the first time. 🍭🍭The taste of apricot peel tea is a bit like black plum juice, but it tastes fresher and not as sweet as black plum juice, and you can really taste the taste of apricots. 🍭🍭The packaging of theirs is also very good! The bottle design is convenient to carry and beautiful, and you can see a few apricots at the bottom of the bottle. 🍭🍭The price is 15 yuan per bottle, which is much more expensive than the 2.3 yuan in the market, but it tastes good, and you get what you pay for!

Satisfied, unique flavor, thirst-quenching and sweet, praise

Shaming Mountain & Crescent Lake 🎫Entrance fee: 110 RMB 🐪Camel ride: 130 RMB 🛹Sandboarding: 40 RMB I stayed near the Shazhou Night Market. Taking a taxi to Shaming Mountain was very cheap, less than 10 RMB. I stored my luggage at the visitor center (free), then scanned a QR code to buy tickets. After exchanging the tickets, I entered. The tickets are valid for three days. I went in around 4:30 PM. It was my first time seeing the desert, and I was very excited. After entering the scenic area, I walked straight, following the signs towards Crescent Lake. I saw three ladders leading up the mountain. ⚠️The left ladder is the steepest (most difficult to climb), the middle ladder is slightly gentler, and the right ladder is the easiest (the one next to the sandboarding area). I went up the rightmost ladder, which took about 20 minutes. It was very tiring 🥲 The wind was very strong at the top. When I got to the top, I found there was no sunset; the clouds were too thick that day. I waited until 6:40 PM when the lights came on and then came down. Undeterred by missing the sunset, I decided to try again the day after tomorrow for the sunrise 🌅. On the day of the sunrise, I donned a windproof jacket, a down-filled inner layer, a thick base layer, a quick-drying shirt, and was fully equipped with a scarf, hat, gloves, and face mask. It proved to be the right decision to wear so many layers; it was incredibly cold and windy before sunrise, and without any of these items, I would have frozen to death. The second time I came, I climbed the leftmost ladder, which was extremely difficult and made me regret choosing it for a while. Thankfully, I reached the summit successfully at 8:20 am and saw the sunrise!! (Pictures 1-3) Tips: 1. Sunrise is currently around 8:30 am. The scenic area opens at 7:30 am, so it's best to arrive before 7:50 am to avoid missing it. 2. It's very cold at the summit, so be sure to wear a thick hat and gloves. You can also bring some hot water and snacks. 3. In addition to sand-proof shoe covers, you can wear an extra layer of waterproof shoe covers underneath for warmth and sand protection. 4. Even in winter, sun protection is essential. Apply sunscreen to your entire face and hands, then wear gloves and a face mask, as the UV rays are still very strong. Shazhou Night Market: The night market opens at 5:30 PM, and there's a good variety of food. I recommend the Mobei grilled fish and Hexi tripe; I still crave them! 🥰 Li Guangji apricot tea and Dunhuang yogurt were just okay, nothing particularly amazing. There are also many souvenir vendors at the night market. I bought some camel-shaped bag charms 🐫, averaging 10 yuan each, very cheap! Other food recommendations: The rose-flavored iced milk and egg sweet rice soup at Silu Apricot Tea on the next street is pretty good. Ma Jia Liangpi (cold skin noodles) is also delicious. Zhongle Donkey Meat Noodles and Sichuan-style Stir-fry (Crescent Moon Spring branch) also has good donkey meat noodles; it's the only restaurant near the Mingsha Mountain scenic area that opens in the morning during the off-season. Dunhuang Museum: Optional. Recently, it was packed with students on study tours, all organized by schools, making it crowded and noisy, and the experience was just so-so.

We visited the Shazhou Night Market to check out the million-dollar toilets and sampled various snacks. The night market was quaint and clean. Crucially, the seating areas for tourists had heaters, which was a thoughtful touch. At Shazhou Night Market, we ordered: 1. Scallion and Beef Pancake 2. Grilled Fish 3. Lamb and Beef Skewers 4. Li Guangji Apricot Tea 5. Baked Buns 6. Liangpi (cold skin noodles) 7. Beef and Lamb Pilaf The prices were a bit higher at the night market, but we were so hungry that we thought the scallion and beef pancake was the best.
