Charley Johng’s Cafe

Dunhuang


Western-style breakfasts, including scrambled eggs, muesli with yoghurt, and pancakes, are available all day either à la carte or as a set. There are also sandwiches, and a host of Chinese dishes such as stir-fries and dumplings. The place is mainly useful for its tours to surrounding sights and camel treks and as a handy source of traveller information. English spoken.

Charley Johng's also has an outside cafe run by Charley's wife Yang Xiaoyan (13993733106) in the small square at the top of Xinglong Jie north of Shazhou Night Market; you can book camel treks and tours to Yadan National Park there as well.
