Mogao Grottoes - If you are yearning for or curious about it, please go ahead. Dunhuang has the magic of nature, and there are also artistic treasures that condense human wisdom. The Mogao Grottoes are the latter. The Mogao Grottoes, which were gradually built over ten dynasties, have suffered more than one catastrophe. Natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused todays Mogao Grottoes to be devastated. But the beauty of Mogao Grottoes is still beyond doubt. More than seven hundred caves, hand-painted thousand Buddha statues. There are no similar algae wells in the murals of Buddha statues covered with gold foil. The pigments polished by natural gemstones are still vivid today... Mogao Grottoes tickets are reserved: Visitors need to book online in advance and arrive at the scenic spot to collect tickets. In the peak season, only 6,000 tickets are issued every day, so everyone must prepare early. The ticket includes the explanation fee. One guide will lead a team (about 20 people), visit 8 caves in the peak season, and visit 12 in the off-season. The lecturers at Mogao Grottoes are very good, and the explanations are lively and detailed. Everyone should listen carefully. PS
