Treasure of Buddhism art and history

If I have to pick only one must visit site in China, I will choose Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. It’s the most well-preserved treasure of Buddhism art and history from more than 1,000years ago. There are over 750 caves built from 5th to 14th century, about 500 of them were decorated with murals and sculptures. 60 of them are opened to the public now. An entry ticket includes a visit to 8 random caves with tour guide (in mandarin only during pandemic time). Photography is strictly prohibited inside the cave so it’s better to focus on admiring the beauty of the art works that stands over time. #urbanexplorer #nationalpark #dunhuang #museum
