The murals of the Thousand Buddha Cave of Kezier were badly destroyed and heartache was great. In the opening of a few caves, there is no complete reservation, some tourists complain that they can't see anything, in fact, they see, and there are a few people who can understand ancient murals, understand Western culture, I don't know, but I think it is blessing to stand in this Buddhist place!
Keqier Grottoes are located in Keqier Township, Baicheng County, Xinjiang, and there are 349 caves exposed to the ground, and only 6 caves are currently open! It is the first of the four major caves in Buddhism in China. It is the earliest cave temple group in China. It integrates architecture 🏡, mural 🖼, sculpture 🗿. It enjoys the reputation of "art treasure house". Unfortunately, many have been destroyed and cannot see the real thing.
