I heard that the five temples were built about the northern dynasty, and the original works have long disappeared. The existing murals are repainted in the Xixia time. There are Maitreya, Shuiyue Guanyin, Mandala and other content. The 2nd cave is rectangular, with the top of the human characters. The image of the Yu Bodhisattva, the king, the disciples and the supporter, etc., is vivid and the artistic level is extremely high.

    The five temple grottoes are one of the small and medium-sized grottoes in the outer periphery of the ancient melon and sand areas (now Guazhou and Dunhuang areas) centered on the cliffs of the west bank of the Danghe River, about 100 kilometers south of the Zhengnan of Mogao Grottoes and 20 kilometers northwest of the county seat of Subei Mongolia Autonomous County. The cave was cut on the sand cliff formed by the Danghe River, the sand cliff was about 30 meters high, and the cave was suspended on the half cliff, about 12-15 meters from the ground. On the cliffs of about 300 meters from south to north, there are 19 caves in existence, only the middle five can enter, so it is called "five temples", one of which has been destroyed in the early years. On the east bank of the Danghe, opposite the five temple grottoes, there are four caves. About 5 kilometers from the five temples, there is a grotto, commonly known as "a temple".

    This is really a very strong historical and cultural heritage. The grotto is the most distinctive place, very shocking and beautiful.
