These grottoes, which have a history of thousands of years, record the changes of dynasties, people's aesthetics and beliefs, and even record the history of China's art that has never been left on paper.

The complete Dunhuang art is not limited to the Mogao Grottoes, and the artistic peak of Yulin Grottoes makes up for the lonely period of Mogao Grottoes after Xixia. The historical position of the West Thousand Buddha Cave is equally important. Although the number of preserved caves is not enough, the level is neck and neck. It is said that everyone in Dunhuang can get their own needs: painting lovers can find the inheritance of China ink and wash, architectural lovers can restore the pavilions and pavilions of the Tang Dynasty, fashion bloggers can find inspiration in costume makeup, and the development of their brains shows the secular life of the ancients.
