The Silk Road Dunhuang Hotel is founded in 1995. Situated against the backdrop of the picturesque Mingsha Sand Dunes. The hotel captures the spirit of the Tang Dynasty with its unique architectural design - the large rooftops and long corridors of the Han and Tang dynasties; the typical enclosed courtyard style design and mud walls of the northwestern part of China; and the replica of the late Tang, Ming and Qing dynasties furniture. All these work together to recapture the flavour of a bygone era with their simplicity and use of natural building materials.
To journey through the fabled Silk Road and experience China's ancient culture could have been your dream. Now, this dream can be realized with the completion of the Silk Road Dunhuang Hotel. It combines modern facilities together with a touch of classical architectural design to provide comfortable accommodation to Silk Road travelers.
