Day 272: Mogao Grottoes

One of the highlights in Dunhuang was to visit Mogao Caves! It’s so difficult to reserve a spot to this place. Even a lot of locals could not get the full tickets. But lucky that they had a few tickets reserved for foreigners (who could not reserve online) every day. The trick was to go early and secure your ticket. We went nice a and early and it’s totally worth it.

We visited 8 caves and no photos/videos are allowed during visit. But it’s still amazing to see them with your eyes. There was a museum at the end of the trip and we could take pictures of a few replicates of the caves.Read more
