The unlikely surge in popularity comes after the public convenience was transformed from a utilitarian facility into a cultural space.
It has become such a must-see that visitors have expressed a desire to wear a traditional Hanfu outfit to explore it.
Dunhuang means “grand and prosperous” in Chinese.
The site is located in northwestern Gansu province and was once a major stop along the ancient Silk Road.
It is best known for the Mogao Caves, which are also known as the Thousand Buddha Grottoes.
