Dunhuang’s Shazhou Night Market | Photo Walk
The Shazhou Night Market is a vibrant and bustling market located in Dunhuang, Gansu, China. It is renowned for its wide array of street food stalls, local handicrafts, and lively atmosphere. The market offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the local culture and indulge in delicious culinary delights while exploring the vibrant streets of Dunhuang. It’s the perfect place to go after a full day of desert activities in Dunhuang. In fact, the city has made it really easy to get here and encourages visitors to spend their evening here! There are shuttle buses from Mingsha Mountain that will take visitors directly here after it closes. It really becomes lively after 8pm, and stays open into the wee hours of the morning. I visited the Shazhou Night Market twice during my stay in Dunhuang, and had a great time exploring the area. Enjoy these photos of my walks around the Shazhou Night Market!
