Dunhuang Climate

Situated in its inland location, Dunhuang is separated by high mountains from the humid maritime climate and it has a dry continental climate. There is abundant sunshine (the average reaches 3,200 hours annually). The best time to visit Dunhuang and the ancient Silk Road is from May to October. The charm of western China is its special kind of desolate ruggedness. The fluctuation in temperature between day and night dictates bringing warm, winter clothing for use in the morning and evening. Other essentials are sunglasses, caps, sunscreen, and gauze kerchiefs.
