The beautiful Mogao Caves in Dunhuang are a sight you'll regret not visiting

The Mogao Caves and Crescent Lake are famous tourist attractions, here is some information about them: Mogao Caves: Also known as the Thousand Buddha Grottoes, they are Buddhist art caves located 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang city, at the foot of the Mingsha Mountain. Crescent Lake: Located at the foot of Mingsha Mountain, it is an oasis in the desert. The spring water is clear and surrounded by sand dunes, yet it is not covered by sand. Crescent Lake is nearly 100 meters long from north to south and 25 meters wide from east to west. The water is deeper in the east and shallower in the west, with the deepest point being about 5 meters. The shape of the spring water resembles a crescent moon, hence the name Crescent Lake.
