Dunhuang Mogaoku Shuzi Zhanshi Center

the place is really impressive. we came at 10 a.m. o’clock but the tour in English was only at 2.30 p.m. we decided not to wait but to go with the Chinese group. everywhere I saw I must buy the tickets in the city, but we bought tickets on the site. I think something changed. the place is worth to see

First of all prepare yourself it is busy at Mogao Grottoes but they are well organised and each group with the tour guide are allowed into 7 caves. The art and colors are just breathtaking. You are not allowed to take pictures inside the caves but you may take pictures outside. The have the biggest indoor buddha and also a big reclining buddha.

This is the Mogao Grottoes Digital Display Center (*๓ ╰╯ `๓) ♡, many people went, and the film is also very spectacular (*๓ ╰╯ `๓) ♡. It is highly recommended (*๓ ╰╯ `๓) ♡

Mogao Grottoes Digital Display Center, visit the first stop of Mogao Grottoes, next to the ticket office, online booking, time cannot be changed, buy tickets on the spot, it depends on luck, you choose it yourself. There is a waiting area after picking up the ticket. There is no free hot water. There are only four squat seats in the bathroom. Anyway, there is time. Wait. You can enter the viewing area with your ticket half an hour in advance. There is a security check. Then, continue to wait. Enter the theater six or seven minutes in advance. Ladder seats. After sitting down, I began to show the promotional film "See Dunhuang again", tour safety matters, and then, the film began, "Millennium Mogao", pure modern technology means to make, a bit shocking, then, the back door went out, entered the ball screen theater, the back door entered, continue to watch "Dream Buddha Palace", the whole process is prohibited to take pictures and videos, This theater is very good. It is all the key cave interior display introduction. It is worthy of praise. If the time is longer, and a few more special cave introductions, it will be more perfect. Then, the front door is out and out of the digital display center. There is a bathroom here. Go out by bus and go to the Mogao Grottoes Scenic Area. It takes 13 minutes by car. It is stable and comfortable, and will finally reach the destination through the northern district of Mogao Grottoes, which is temporarily closed in the archaeological stage. Remember: The two film watching, the whole journey is about 40 minutes, is a prelude to the Mogao Grottoes scenic spot, with this first step of viewing, and then entering the real Mogao Grottoes, the feeling and understanding are completely different, more shocking, and more lamenting the wisdom of ancestors, I cherish this trip to Dunhuang more. Of course, there is also a little chance that the caves in the film can be visited up close. For example, the 130 caves are not open for protection. The most classic, complete and beautiful 45 caves belong to the special caves. There is an additional charge of 200 for entering the caves, and the 148 caves are not open. Such a variety, So be sure to feel it.

Two theaters, one of which is a spherical panoramic sky curtain, let you have a preliminary understanding of Dunhuang, the spherical sky curtain is a panoramic display for several typical caves, and there are explanations, which is worth seeing. Just look at it, no photos, the spherical sky curtain has a little dizziness.

The screen movie is great. Note that you can't drive directly to Mogao Grottoes by yourself, you have to take a shuttle bus through here to get to Mogao Grottoes.
