What travelers say:

In fact, the West Thousand Buddha Cave is more real than the Mogao Grottoes. The "Thousand Buddha Cave" is a grotto in Dunhuang. It is located at the west end of Mingsha Mountain, the west end of Mogao Grottoes, and the west end of Dunhuang City. It is also drilled on the cliffs on the west bank of the Danghe River Valley. Therefore, it is called the West Thousand Buddha Cave. On the way from the southwest of Dunhuang City to Yangguan, the Danghe River is not far from the left. The north bank of the river bed is a Gobi beach where the grass is not born. The south bank is a sand mountain of python winding. The west thousand Buddha is located on the steep cliff on the north bank of the river bed at the end of the sand mountain. "For Ai Xiaomi, it is just time to have a gap, and it is coming. It is better to go to a hole to see the recommended reason: It is said that in fact, the significance of the Xiqianfo Cave is far better than that of the Mogao Grottoes, but there is no too much publicity and drainage, so I have not been able to rated higher-level attractions, and I can't get more funds. There is already a problem of in disrepair [Cost-effective] Featured experience: 😷 It’s really good to visit the Xiqianfo Cave in the first year. Two people are equipped with a narrator (in fact, they are very knowledgeable professional researchers), explain all the way, ask questions casually, very professional and easy to solve puzzles, There will be no time limit and it is very hasty. It is really Ai Xiaomi who doesn't understand anything during the visit and study. In the Xiqianfo Cave, I also feel that I have learned a lot of [candy] photos in the cave are allowed to shoot traffic: 🚙 Parking lot free #Ai Xiaomi's travel history to the west #2020 D17
