Shazhou Night Market is the symbol of Dunhuang Night Market. When you come to the bustling Shazhou Night Market, you immediately feel the feelings and temperature of the city. Dunhuang's daylight is always in a hot and overexposed environment, and only two periods of time will reveal its warm side. The whole market is divided into three pieces, part of which is barbecue, part of which is selling hand letters, and part of which is specialty. There are also milk tea shops, fried chicken and other fashionable snack bars on the street; Shazhou Night Market is particularly large, you can buy gifts and handwritten letters that want to buy local characteristics, all kinds of strange regional specialty products; Since Dunhuang is very close to the west of China, it is darker late. It takes more than 9 o'clock in summer to get dark, so don't come too early, so there is no feeling, generally come after 9 o'clock.

    The night market is definitely one of the better ones in China.   I liked the fact that you can see people making/'drawing the actual stuff in front of you.  Prices are very reasonable but negotiation is tough. Tons of food options but be prepared to stand in line. This night market is busy.  But so worth it You can also get caricatures and temporary tattoos.  Come 10pm or later as thats when it really comes alive

    4/5Excellent

    We went to Shazhou Market around 1pm. Looked like people were at sightseeing spots so the market was quite empty. There are many stalls and shops selling foods, noodle, freshly made snacks, dried snacks, household stuff, souvenirs, etc. We ate in one of the restaurants there and foods tasted good at reasonable price. The number of shops there and the amount of foods they prepare shows that there are many tourists visiting everyday. We. entered from one small entrance having many students coming home from school and this entrance signage might not be noticed.

    Great to do at night, it's alive with the vibrant colors and artifacts for sale. Including the food both at the restaurants and the food stalls. Check it out for yourself! It's the best place to get souvenirs

    nice market, but be careful of this one noodle shop, they lie about what meat they give you. luckily I understand Chinese because they told me it was beef noodle soup, but it was actually donkey meat. it’s the small noodle shop that is off the Main Street under one of those free standing little shops. I asked the guy if the meat was beef and he answered in English that it is beef, and I confirmed in Chinese as well, but then other Chinese people asked him the same question and they said it wasn’t beef but donkey meat. I highly suggest only eating at the restaurants on the Main Street or do veggie because you might get something that you didn’t want to eat, I actually think it’s a big joke for them to see if they can con foreigners into eating donkey. no judgment if that is what your into, but not cool about not being upfront about it.
