With 735 caves more than 45,000 square meters of murals, and 2,415 colored sculptures of different sizes, the caves contain some of the finest examples of Buddhist art(佛教艺术) spanning a period of 1,000 years.
The Mogao Caves, also known as the Thousand Buddha Grottoes(千佛洞), form a system of 492 temples, 25km southeast of the center of Dunhuang, an oasis(绿洲) strategically located at a religious and cultural crossroads on the Silk Road, in Gansu province, China.
