The Famous Mogao Grottoes 🇨🇳

#2023travelwish Welcome to Gansu! 🇨🇳 📍Location: 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang Attractions: The Mogao Grottoes (known alternately as the Caves of the Thousand Buddhas) are hand-cut rock caves carved into cliffs. Interesting facts shared by my tour guide: There are 735 caves in total and only 60 are open to the public. When you visit this site, you will get to only see 8 caves. The caves open to the public change everyday. I’m 2023, I’d love to go back to one of my favorite cities in the world; Berlin 🇩🇪 #mogaogrottoes #gansu #dunhuang #historicculture #tripblazers
