Mogao Caves: Gallery of the Silk Road

#travelinginchina Visiting the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang was like stepping into a time capsule. These caves are filled with some of the most stunning Buddhist art I’ve ever seen—murals, sculptures, and manuscripts that date back over a thousand years. Our guide explained how this was a major stop on the Silk Road, and you can feel the history in every brushstroke. The colors are still so vibrant, and the stories depicted are fascinating. If you’re into art or history, this is a must-see. #mogaocaves #silkroadhistory #buddhistart
