▲ If the Mogao Caves are a magnificent masterpiece, then the Yulin Grottoes are its profound sequel. The Tang Dynasty mural "Pure Land of the West" in Cave 25 dazzles with majestic brushstrokes, while the Water-Moon Guanyin's robes flutter as if in flight. Below the cliffs, the Yulin River has rushed for millennia, gazing upon the serene Buddhas within the caves—here, time solidifies into an epic of faith and beauty.
