Finding a good-value hotel in Mogao Caves
The cheapest room is not always the cheapest trip once airport transfers, long taxi rides, breakfast and daily transit are included. Mogao Caves is part of a region known for Silk Road heritage, desert landscapes, Buddhist grottoes and long-distance rail travel.
Distances are large and itineraries often involve early trains, flights or long drives. The right overnight stop can save more than a slightly cheaper room far from the transport hub.
