Description of Mogao Grottoes (self-created)

The world-famous Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, commonly known as the Thousand Buddha Cave, was located in the pre-Qin period when the Sixteen Countries were founded. After the construction of Sixteen Kingdoms, Northern Dynasties, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Five Dynasties, Xixia and Yuan Dynasty, it has formed a huge scale and is known as "one of the four largest grottoes in China". The Mogao Grottoes provide a lot of valuable information for the study of ancient history, geography, religion, economy, politics, nationality, language, literature, art and technology in China and Central Asia. After the theft and plunder by explorers from Britain, France, Japan, the United States, Russia and other countries, most of the cultural relics in the Tibetan Sutra Cave are unfortunately scattered all over the world, and only a few remain in China, resulting in an unprecedented grand occasion in China's cultural history. In front of Mogao Grottoes, Dangquan River faces east, with a length of1.680m from north to south and a height of 50m. The caves are strewn at random, row upon row, up and down to five floors.
