Dunhuang, a unique oasis encircled by desert and pebbles, is situated in the northwestern area of China and was the one and only gate to China via the path known as the Silk Road, which connected China, Western Asia, and the Indian subcontinent.
The Mogao Grottoes, located in Dunhuang, stand as an archetypical world heritage site. It houses a Buddhist cave shrine and also functions as a heritage art museum, stocking an array of murals, sculptures, and architectural spectacles. More than just a reservoir of unique art, it encapsulates a thousand years of cultural exchange facilitated by the Silk Road, involving China, India, Persian, Greco-Roman and Central Asian cultures, the importance of which surpasses that of silk or other luxury commodities.
