25 Years of Silk Road Travel Excellence
Dunhuang Tuodada International Travel Service Co., Ltd. (Brand: TUODADA TRAVEL 驼达达) is a fully licensed international travel agency headquartered in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, China. With license number L-GS-DH0014, we have been authorized to operate domestic and inbound tourism services since 2001.
Formerly known as Dunhuang Holiday International Travel Service (敦煌假日国际旅行社), we rebranded as Tuodada to reflect our deep roots in Silk Road heritage. The name "Tuodada" (驼达达) draws from the ancient camel caravans that once connected China to Central Asia, carrying silk, spices, and culture across the vast desert.
In 2014, we established our subsidiary Dunhuang Mingtuo Study Tour Co., Ltd. (敦煌铭驼研学有限公司) specializing in educational travel, and in 2017 registered our trademark "畅行丝路" (Smooth Silk Road Journey).

Dunhuang, Gansu, China
The name "Tuodada" (驼达达) comes from the ancient Silk Road camel caravans. "驼" means camel — the iconic ship of the desert that carried merchants, monks, and explorers across thousands of miles of harsh terrain. "达达" evokes the rhythmic sound of camel bells echoing across the dunes.
For over 25 years, we have been deeply rooted in Dunhuang and the wider Gansu-Qinghai region. Our team has personally scouted every route thousands of times, ensuring that every itinerary we offer is tested, refined, and perfected.
Our philosophy is simple: local people doing local tourism. All our dispatchers, guides, and drivers are long-term Dunhuang residents who call this desert city home.
