The Dunhuang Caves includes Mogao Caves (also known as the Thousand Buddha Grottoes) and other Buddhist cave sites in the Dunhuang area, such as the Western Thousand Buddha Caves, and the Yulin Caves farther away. With the first caves excavated in 366 AD, the Dunhuang Caves contain many of the finest examples of Buddhist art spanning a period of 1,000 years. Dunhuang is a county-level city in northwestern Gansu Province, Western China, which was once a major stop on the ancient Silk Road.

From the eight duplicated caves, visitors can see the style changing of the caves from the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420-589) and the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368).
