Escape, be big, be gorgeous, and win. Dunhuang people are grand and brilliant.

Dunhuang, a bright pearl on the Silk Road, is located at the western end of Hexi Corridor, at the junction of Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang provinces. Its unique geographical location and long history make Dunhuang a cultural shrine in China. Greek culture, Yilan culture, Indian culture and China culture all met here, emitting fascinating brilliance.

Dunhuang, a fascinating place. Known as the Gobi Desert Oasis, the Pearl of Oriental Art, the dawn of human civilization, the treasure house of world art and so on. Won the title of China touching the world brand city, national tourist card city and top ten city in China.

Dunhuang has a long history and culture. Ding Yuan, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, established a county here in six years. In the second year BC, Zhang Qian cut off the Silk Road crossing the Western Regions, and Dunhuang became the center of cultural exchange between China and the West on the Silk Road. The Dunhuang historical sites discovered in Ming and Qing Dynasties include: East of Dangerous Peak, Qianfo Ridge Rock, Che Xiao in Yue Quan, Qingming in Shaling, Dangshui Flowing North, Xiurang Chungeng, Liangguan Ruins, Late Scenery of Ancient City, Eight Scenes, etc. Ya Dan National Geopark, Leiyin Temple, Dunhuang Film and Television City, Danghe Style Line, Sleeping Buddha, West Lake Yangguan National Nature Reserve, Monk Glacier and other tourism products will be added.

Baguan

Among the many places of interest, the Mogao Grottoes, the Crescent Moon Spring in Mingsha Mountain, the relics of Guanliang, Ya Dan National Geopark and the Yangguan Wetland in West Lake are even more magical. Walk into Shazhou Night Market and handle business on foot. The cultural characteristics of Dunhuang are everywhere, and restaurants and famous snacks with their own characteristics gather together. Four series of delicacies, namely, Eight Scenery Banquet, Dunhuang Banquet, Desert Style Banquet and Dunhuang Dance Banquet, were excavated and launched, and won the Jinding Award of the National Food Festival. Among them, Tang Le Wangfu Business Hotel independently developed and created the Dunhuang Eight Scenery Banquet, which is the most famous.

Crescent spring is blue as a mirror. Danghe River is white and clear, just like a jade belt. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, the ancient city tells people about Dunhuang's past glory, with a long-standing reputation for its thousand Buddha caves, murals, Ya Dan Shaling, uncanny workmanship and three dangerous holy places. The whistle of yellow sand and the neigh of war horses recorded a long historical legend. A spring breeze doesn't go through Yumen Pass, so people have no reason to leave the western sunshine pass. Tell the eternal love. . . . . . . . . . Based on these beautiful legends and stories. The background is a beautiful picture. Taking the ancient production methods and Dunhuang murals as raw materials, it absorbs the essence of many cuisines and selects local high-quality raw materials. Through years of research and development, it successfully showed the world the exquisite food of Dunhuang culture-Dunhuang Eight Scenes Banquet. And successfully registered the national trademark with 20 12 10.

It's a pity that non-heroes don't go to the Great Wall and don't eat Dunhuang Eight Scenes Banquet. Dunhuang people under the Buddha's light welcome everyone to Dunhuang.

Yuequan Che Xiao

Crescent Spring was called Shajing, Yaoquan and Yaochi in ancient times, because there are water springs in the sand mountain that are not submerged by sandstorms all the year round, where there are seven-star grass, iron-backed fish and the legendary queen mother bathing.

The crescent moon spring is blue as a mirror, and Yue Quan sets each other off. When you sit in the small hall by the spring at night, listening to the cuckoo, watching the crescent moon reflected in spring, drinking tea and writing poems, and talking about life, you will feel relaxed and happy.

This dish is made of green agar in the shape of crescent moon spring. In spring, clove fish is used as the main ingredient instead of iron back fish, and broccoli is used instead of seven-star grass. It was made into Yue Quan Che Xiao, which is lifelike in shape, beautiful in color and fragrance, and makes people dream back to Yaochi, like a fairy. At the same time, it also reminds people to cherish rare species and protect the ecological environment.

Dangshui flows north.

Danghe-a river from Qilian Mountain

The ice and snow melted into the mother river of Dunhuang-the River of Life. Snow melts and flows like a jade belt. It is also the only infiltration river in China that flows from south to north. She moistens the Gobi Oasis and nurtures the people of Dunhuang. The vast Gobi tells the story of oasis, and the trickle records the desert Cang Sang. The glory of the past is gone forever, and a ray of clear water nurtures future generations.

This dish is based on Dunhuang's characteristic stuffed skin, which represents Danghe River, and the golden bread crumbs represent the vast Gobi. It reflects the generosity and gratitude of the hardworking and kind Dunhuang people for protecting and building the mother river.

The center of the desert

Representative: heavenly heart, geocentric, human heart, three hearts in one.

South cake: an essential baked pasta on the Silk Road. Burning with torches and gravel first, and cooking the mixed bread on the gravel, which can last for several months, is an essential staple food for camel teams.

Leg of lamb: When the camel team celebrates the victory, the camel team will roast the sheep and give the most precious leg of lamb to the most respected person or soldier.

We use Qilian Mountain leg of lamb, homemade south cake and high-quality peanuts to make this dish according to the traditional practice of Dunhuang people.

The combination of these three foods is actually to connect people's hearts, give people confidence and strength, overcome all difficulties on the road of life, and finally win.

The Millennium vicissitudes of the Great Wall of Han Dynasty

Hard-working and peace-loving people in Dunhuang built the Great Wall with existing local rubble and reeds in order to resist the invasion of Xiongnu. Now it has become a precious cultural relic and historical fossil.

We use pork belly and tofu as the main ingredients of the Great Wall, and rectangular lotus leaf cakes are placed in the shape of the wall to make this dish.

Let you taste the historical changes, at the same time, appreciate the Millennium vicissitudes of the Great Wall of Han Dynasty, and have a unique flavor.

Night view of ancient city

Dunhuang ancient city pier site. There is only one pier left, which is magnificent. Poets in the Qing Dynasty wrote that the setting sun reflected clouds, and the west of the city was originally an ancient Dunhuang. The city wall that has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain tells people the glory of Dunhuang in the past.

The hotel uses a special secret recipe to make the sauce-flavored pork belly into a meat tower in the shape of the ancient city pier. While tasting, review the long history and splendid culture of Dunhuang.

Weifeng Dongguan

This scene is named after the monk Lezun standing on this mountain and seeing the Buddha's light in the East. It is famous for the brilliance of the Three Dangers Buddha's Light. There are Laojuntang, Guanyin Scenic Spot and Nantianmen in the mountains. It is a must-see place for many Dunhuang believers.

Isn't it fascinating when people are tasting donkey meat and crispy popcorn, thinking of the Nantianmen where people come and go, and looking at men, women and children drinking holy water? There is also a beautiful vision of shining Buddha's light and wishing you good luck.

Shaling Qingming

Many people will rumble when they come down from Mingsha Mountain. Legend has it that the location of Mingsha Mountain is the treasure house of the Jade Emperor. In order to stop people's greed, Venus Taibai ordered to be buried with yellow sand, which would make a noise when it was empty. There is also a legend-during the Han Dynasty, the Han army was at war with the Huns, and the wind was strong, and the yellow sand all over the sky buried the horses of two soldiers in the sand. The voice was the cries of the two armies and the neighing of horses. It's actually the sound of sand and stones rubbing against each other.

We make Mingsha Mountain with golden bread crumbs, and pour the sauce-made snowy mountain yak meat into a container full of red-hot colorful stones to make this dish.

Here, you can enjoy the unique wonders, feel the beautiful poetic legends, and listen to the roar of yellow sand and the screams of war horses.

Welcome friends on the Silk Road.

Speaking of Yumenguan Gate in Yangguan, it reminds people why Qiangdi resents Liu and the spring breeze doesn't pass Yumenguan Gate. I advise you to drink one more glass of wine, and you will never sing the song "People Leave Xiyangguan for No Reason" again.

Yangguan and Yumenguan are the main military sites and post stations in Dunhuang section of the Silk Road, connecting the Western Regions and Europe and Asia. Famous at home and abroad, love is ancient and modern. After leaving two passes, I entered the vast Gobi.

We use special containers, local five-grain rice and melon, and make them with a unique formula.

When you hear this dish and see it, you will think of the prosperity of the ancient Silk Road. This means that Yangguan is a warm spring, welcome guests, and Taoist Guan Yu has a bright future.

Embroidered soil and spring ploughing

Dunhuang is an important town on the Silk Road, and there are many ethnic groups mainly engaged in agricultural farming. The increase of foreign population and huge mobility have promoted the vigorous development of various agriculture, mainly cotton, wheat, corn and grapes.

This dish is mainly made of local whole grains and vegetarian dishes. It is made of special raw materials and formulas while improving the making method of ancient flour cakes.

The season of the year is in spring. The old Dunhuang people said: "People are wrong for a while, and they are wrong for a year." . This dish represents the expectation and joy of farmers who work hard in the busy spring ploughing season for the future harvest.

Qianfo Lingyan

The Mogao Grottoes, also known as the Thousand Buddha Cave, are said to have been carved by Taoist Le Zun and a westbound monk. Seeing that there are thousands of Buddha's lights, he began to practice in the cave. After thousands of years, the cave has formed a scale, the colorful sculptures are charming and the murals are shocking. Mogao Grottoes is a world cultural heritage and a research base of Dunhuang studies.

This restaurant is based on the nine-story Buddha in the Mogao Grottoes and made of golden cup fish in the South Lake of Dunhuang. It symbolizes the splendid culture and prosperity of Dunhuang under the Buddha's light.

The Great Desert and Double Honor

The double statue of the desert is improved from the camel's paw of the famous Panxue Mountain in Dunhuang. This dish is made of two main ingredients, one is the front paw meat of a desert camel, and the other is a fungus called Pleurotus nebrodensis at the foot of a snowy mountain deep in the desert. These two materials have high nutritional value, and have the effects of strengthening tendons and tonifying kidney, anti-aging, beauty and freckle removal. Originally, Dunhuang people could only enjoy this dish during the wedding, but now they are on the tourist table, which means double happiness.

Ya Dan Shiquan Dabu Decoction

Ya Dan, known as the ghost town of the world, is the most comprehensive treasure house of geological data. On the prosperous ancient Silk Road, it is one of the biggest natural landmarks. This soup is a tonic soup for strengthening the body and resisting fatigue. The raw materials are all over the Silk Road, mainly including: boiled with more than ten kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, such as Cynomorium songaricum, Cistanche deserticola, famous jujube, Lycium barbarum, Nostoc flagelliforme, safflower, Shenshubao, Epimedium, Tortoise, Saussurea involucrata, velvet antler, Ganoderma lucidum, etc.

These herbs come from natural green food and are especially precious today. In Dunhuang, people often boil this soup to dispel evil spirits and diseases, and also use this medicinal material to soak wine, tonify the kidney and nourish the year.

Five-color hump silk

According to legend, the Queen Mother crossed Yaochi westward and saw the vast desert of Dunhuang, which was desolate and the people's lives were difficult. He waved the artifact in his hand and shed thousands of colorful lights for Dunhuang. There are nine-color deer in Dunhuang Mogao grottoes murals, seven-color stones in the desert and five-color sand in Mingsha Mountain. We use this beautiful legend and Dunhuang culture, and choose high-quality hump meat and five vegetarian dishes to make it. It means that Dunhuang is rich in products and the ancient Silk Road is prosperous.

Qi xian fu Zao

According to legend, a long time ago, Dunhuang people burned fires to keep warm and cut down a lot of trees. Angered the gods so much that they used yellow sand to flood houses and farmland as punishment. And people have a strange disease that they just want to sleep. It happened that the seven fairies traveled here, turned into practitioners, kneaded jujube with colorful alchemy medicine and distributed it door to door, telling people how to plant jujube trees. Hard-working Dunhuang people finally understand that God told them. They should not destroy the ecological balance, but plant a lot of trees to benefit future generations. There is a drought-resistant jujube forest near Yueya Spring in Mingsha Mountain, and the jujube produced by the world is called Mingshan jujube.

Mingshan Jujube is one of the four famous jujubes in China, with small core and crisp skin. There is a saying that eating three dates at a time will never get old.

Four famous dates in China
