Dunhuang Island Guesthouse

Der Chef war sehr enthusiastisch und half mir von sich aus, mein Gepäck zu tragen. Er teilte uns auch seinen sorgfältig zusammengestellten Reiseführer mit. Das Zimmer war sauber und ordentlich. Es lag ganz in der Nähe des Aussichtspunkts Mingsha Mountain und die Verkehrsanbindung war sehr bequem. Abends nahm uns der Chef von sich aus mit, um Sterne und Mond zu beobachten. Es war wirklich toll! (Das Bild zeigt den Mond, zu dem der Chef uns mitgenommen hat.)

Das Zimmer war sauber und ordentlich. Der Besitzer war sehr enthusiastisch und hilfsbereit. Er lud uns auch ein, mit seinem Teleskop den Mond zu beobachten. Zu Hause gab es auch ein süßes Kätzchen. Er nahm uns mit, um den wunderschönen Sonnenuntergang zu sehen.

The Donhuang Island Guesthouse is located in a rather nondescript building but in an excellent location just a few minutes walk from the middle entrance of the Mingsha mountain on a fairly quiet side street. The Guesthouse is surrounded by eateries.and has camels walking past the front of the property in mornings and evenings on their way from and to work.The Guesthouse has an easy location to catch a taxi as it's nearby an intersection with lots of taxis available. It's important to understand that this property is not located in downtown which is probably part of it's charm. A taxi will cost 35 yuan from the train station or Mongua Caves. Going to the night market which is 5 kilometres away will cost you 11 yuan by regular taxi. The Donhuang Island gueshouse offers simple but smartly furnished rooms. The beds are good, the shower is hot and the air-conditioning is cold. But what makes this guesthouse truly stand out is the remarkable hospitality from the owner and his whole team. Hahan the golden retriever from the property across the road comes by on a frequent visit and is the centre of attention. It was a pleasure to stay here. The only minus is; how much I hate the disposable towels but that is just a minor thing amid all the positivity.
