Between oasis and desert

Oasis and desert sit beside one another along the corridor. Combine landscapes and cultural interests at a pace suited to you.
These are ideas for a Hexi Corridor journey. Cave reservations, sights, hotels, duration and transport depend on your confirmed itinerary. All return airfares are excluded.
