? Because the itinerary has changed, our group decided to stay in Dunhuang for two days to adjust the fatigue of the journey. On the first night in Dunhuang, our family of three and friends excitedly visited the famous Dunhuang night market, but they didn't enjoy themselves. The next night, we visited the night market with different flavors in Dunhuang again.
The main entrance of Dunhuang Night Market is located in Yangguan Middle Road, Dunhuang City, adjacent to and connected with Shazhou Market, which is the best place for nightlife in Dunhuang. The night market is divided into several areas of different sizes, such as catering, arts and crafts, leisure and entertainment, and the catering and arts and crafts areas have the most tourists and players, and the business is the most prosperous. At 9: 3 pm, the night in Dunhuang is still in the dim light, and at 9: 4, the night falls. The dim night light reflects the word "Dunhuang Night Market" engraved in the carved buildings full of rich China cultural characteristics and breath, which is particularly eye-catching.
? Stepping into the gate of the night market, it is a short passage, with exquisite lanterns hanging from the ceiling and soft light, and shops on both sides of the passage. The goods filled with counters are mainly the unique products in the northwest region, especially in Dunhuang area, as well as works of art, such as murals, antiques, colored stones, colored sculptures, luminous cups, jade articles, carpets, and a lot of calligraphy and painting, but most of them are not written by celebrities, but there are still many buyers. If tourists don't buy anything and go straight inside, the first thing they see is a flying statue with a square base on the top. Under the dazzling neon lights, the beautiful flying sky danced with long sleeves and danced to meet visitors from all walks of life. Behind the statue is one of the central areas of the night market, that is, an open field. The spacious venue is filled with long, short, large and small tables, simple, light and fashionable chairs and stools filled with tourists with different accents. What a lively and prosperous scene!
? There are food stalls around the venue, and vendors put tables, chairs and benches near their stalls, so their own food is naturally sold to tourists who are full of interest and saliva. Among the many delicious foods, Xinjiang kebabs are the most famous and the business is the hottest. Almost every table is filled with large plates of kebabs, and occasionally you can see the red willow kebabs sold by Hui people, which reminds people of the food street of Changshoushan style ancient town in Gongyi, Henan Province. Red willow kebabs, roasted vegetables, beer produced in Xining, Qinghai, and apricot skin water, a local special drink, are the best food combination for tourists who like barbecue. In addition to mutton kebabs, Sichuan's spicy kebabs roast pig's trotters, Shaanxi's Li's Chinese hamburger, braised cakes and hot squid are also very popular. Diners sitting in this area are the most comfortable, because in addition to enjoying delicious food, they can also enjoy the special programs of Dunhuang-see the artistic performances of Dunhuang propaganda articles. In a busy commercial street, a local art group's elaborate performance, although arranged for tourism development, has a strong commercial flavor, but over time, this mode of commercializing art has become one of the most important tourism R&D projects in countless places. Visitors can not only satisfy their stomachs, but also enjoy the performance, and their aesthetic ability has been improved to a certain extent, which is much better than knowing to eat, drink and have fun.
behind the bustling area here, there are several rows of restaurants that look much quieter. I don't know whether the store rent is too expensive or not many tourists come here to enjoy it. Many stores are empty. Around these small shops, there are also many restaurants and noodle restaurants. Here, visitors can taste the rubbed roe in Zhangye, Gansu Province, the Sichuan food series such as mala Tang, Sichuan pork, shredded pork with fish flavor, husband and wife's lung slices, white slaughtered chicken, spicy diced rabbit, Mapo tofu, Dandan Noodles, Dunhuang noodles with minced meat, northwest stuffed skin, tender meat powder, fat sister mixed noodles, Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, spicy mutton offal, Dunhuang old yogurt and so on. Most of the most famous mutton barbecues and donkey meat yellow noodles in Dunhuang night market are concentrated here. I saw shops on both sides of the street, specializing in pasta, etc., and each restaurant was covered with all kinds of iron shelves in front of it, and a stove was placed in the middle. The charcoal fire in the furnace was booming. The mutton dressed with red willows or iron labels braved thick fumes and smelled irresistible, while the table beside the stove or behind it was fresh mutton, mostly a whole piece of fresh sheep that had just been skinned, or mutton that had been cut in half. It was absolutely slaughtered and roasted now. Rows of tables and chairs with different styles are neatly placed on both sides of the street, leaving only one passage for people to walk. Before the tourists walked past, enthusiastic vendors saw it from a distance, immediately shouted loudly, and came to invite tourists in succession, hoping that all diners would sit in their bunks. Tourists are mostly spiced mouths, and they really hate that they only have one mouth, and they hate that they are too busy, and they are even more unwilling to disappoint enthusiastic and impatient vendors. Our party each ordered two strings of red willow mutton kebabs, and selected some other kebabs and a glass of apricot skin water. Although the roast mutton is expensive, we still have to eat a bunch of 1 yuan, but the strings we bought earlier didn't feel comfortable at all. So, each of us had a few more strings of lamb chops and fried steamed buns naturally. We gulped down the delicious food and drank the local special drink-apricot skin water. Apricot skin water is one of the delicious drinks I drank in Dunhuang, and a cup of 4 yuan is really cheap and good. I observed it carefully. The delicious food here mainly includes donkey meat yellow noodles, donkey meat fried noodles, barbecues with different quality, Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, starched noodles, grilled fish, Hu spicy mutton hoof and so on. At this time, in the face of such delicious food, I feel that I am still happy with Pig Bajie's goods. That big belly is really a small warehouse, with all the food and personnel.
? After enjoying the delicious food, a reflection is the handicraft area and local characteristics of the night market. This is an absolutely interesting place for art lovers and collectors. Most of the two sides of this street are antique buildings, and simplicity and compactness are their main styles, and they have all been turned into shops. The middle of the street is also filled with shops that are relatively independent but close to each other, and there are pedestrian passages on both sides. As soon as tourists walk into this sea of shops, they will be deeply attracted by the exquisite goods in an instant. Except for a few specialty stores (such as Metersbonwe Bang Wei, etc.), almost all the stalls here are filled with handicrafts. My daughter and I were intoxicated by it, and a dazzling array of handicrafts flashed our eyes. We carefully selected and bought several bags, and my daughter bought several bottles of sand paintings. Further on, the specialties from different places, such as raisins from Xinjiang, jujube, and black wolfberry from Ningxia ... all kinds of characteristic miscarriages are trading one after another in the clamor of vendors. I bought the old people the characteristic Chinese medicines of promoting blood circulation, removing dampness, strengthening waist and strengthening kidney yang-Cynomorium songaricum and Cistanche deserticola. ? It is late at night. Visitors who come first and arrive later gradually leave after they have had enough to eat and drink. But the night in Dunhuang is still busy!
