Mogao Grottoes - a shrine of Buddhist art treasures.   The Mogao Caves are a depository of historical and cultural exchanges over more than a thousand years between China and other nations. 




The 1st Pier of the Great Wall is the western most end of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.




A Mini Canyon near the 1st Pier - Underground Valley with archeological find of dinosaur fossils.
