Mesmerizing Mogao Caves highlight of recent excursion

By Jamal Branford | China Daily | Updated: 2021-06-24 00:00

I decided to celebrate my 41st birthday recently by taking a trip to Gansu province.

For part of that trip, I put Dunhuang, a county-level city, on my list of places to go. Dunhuang is home to the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site that boasts an ancient collection of Buddhist art. I love visiting historical places, so a trip to Mogao was perfect for me.

My very early flight from Beijing to Dunhuang took a bit more than three hours. I stepped outside of the airport and into a city that is basically an oasis in a vast desert. Giant sand dunes surround the area as far as the eye can see.
