China is, and this is well known, a cradle of culture, religion, knowledge, ingenuity, and art. Not for nothing are references made to it in all the kinds of the manifestation or very artistic expressions. But however, besides of being all that mentioned, it also represents a big land of so much tourism life, since it has not one, but to many tourist sites that are impossible to refuse them.

          Among the most prominent of these sites are the Mogao caves. These are a set of 492 temples that are located near to the city of Dunhuang, which in turn is located in the beautiful and very popular province of Gansu. Another name they receive is 

"the caves of the thousand Buddhas", 

"the caves of Mogao" and 

"the caves of Dunguang". 

And they have the merit and the big honor of having been declared a World Heritage Site( WHS) in 1987, which only increases their paradisiacal status for the curious tourist.

        It is, therefore, a place you should go if you want to delight and give new sensations to all of your senses. It has a great immensity of mural paintings, manuscripts and sculptures, and all bear witness to the incomparable artistic sensitivity that the Chinese nation had in previous times. With them, as a result, you will be able to get in touch with a very old art that, without which there can be any doubt about it, will be for you like touching the sky.

           While it is true that there is a very careful shelter of the Mogao caves, due to its unparalleled historical value, the fact is that the Chinese government allows some moderate access thanks to which you can take a look at all the treasures that are housed in them. From Buddha sculptures to landscape paintings and from ancient manuscripts to an architecture that escapes all current conventions.


 All possess an aura of charm, magic, and splendor that intoxicates the look and seduces the touch. Therefore, every step you take through the caves will be recorded in your memory as part of one of the most impressive tourism experiences you can have in your life.

         In addition to all the aforementioned, the Mogao caves also have great care in everything related to the safety of visitors. Thanks to this, you should not have any concern for your safety or for that of your companions, be they family members or just friends. 


 you will be allowed to take pictures of what you have found along your route, as long as you show the greatest care with the place since it is counted as one of the most sacred in the country.

You are really doing good. By your writing we can know something new. We can know about some new place,some historical architect etc.Thanks for your job.

China, due to its great geographical expansion, has a great variety in terms of culture, architecture and gastronomy, without taking into account all the mythology that surrounds them and makes them really amazing. Thank you for sharing those magical places @mydays
