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.

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.
