This stand-alone four-star resort is tastefully designed with Central Asian rugs, a cool stone floor and Chinese antiques. The hotel’s rooftop restaurant has without doubt the best outdoor perch in Dunhuang with amazing views of Singing Sands Dune. It's located south of town on the road to the dunes; a taxi costs ¥10, or take minibus 3 (¥2). Discounts of 20% to 40% often available.
The most expensive suites are the courtyard suites with a rack rate of ¥15,000. A very decent and traditionally styled Chinese restaurant (Feng Guo Ci) is also at hand for northwest fare and dishes from across the land.
