Mogao Caves，莫高窟，Dunhuang, 敦煌，Gansu, 江蘇，China, 中國 Thousand Buddha Grottoes or Caves of the Thousand Buddhas

I began my trip from Dunhuang centre to visit the grottoes, it was a short trip to the ticket centre. Upon entry I was asked what language I spoke and they gave me an English headset, I thought.. odd. Then I was jostled into a giant cinema, which explained a little of the history of the city, and the silk road. After 10 minutes I was bored and left, I was directed to take another bus, which took around 20 minutes to the grottoes, where I was informed I would not be able to enter without a tour guide. So an English speaking guide joined me and she took me into many of the small caves and caverns in the cliff edge and explained the intricate details of each prayer room and why they were created. This was a major point foe Buddhism spreading from India to China, and is incredibly interesting and a rewarding experience. The giant Buddha statue inside the cliff face pagoda was beautiful. #scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#deserts

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
