Between the Taklamakan and Gobi deserts lies on the route of the former Silk Road city of Dunhuang. To the south of the city are huge sand dunes with a small oasis, which is famous for its picturesque lake. Around the lake are incredible crowds of local tourists, but just walk a few meters into the desert, and it's all just yours.
