Mogao Caves Along Silk Road
Ancient Buddhist centre - Mogaoku
The Thousand Buddha Caves in the oasis city of Dunhuang on the ancient Silk Road are a museum of religion and art. Known as Mogaoku in Chinese, they are on the UNESCO list of World Cultural Heritage.
Dunhuang, located at the far western end of the Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province, is an oasis surrounded by desert. The total area of Dunhuang is 31,200 square kilometres, but only 1,400 square kilometres have habitable living conditions.
The city, home to the world-renowned Mogao Grottoes in Northwest China's Gansu Province is taking steps to halt increasing desertification.
The local government in Dunhuang, a county-level city, has launched a range of water-saving measures to try to tackle the problem.
