The Buddhist Grottoes of Dunhuang at Mogao are a great treasure house of Buddhist art. The art forms of architectures, sculptures and paintings are combined organically into the great expressions of Buddha worship that have begun from nearly 1,640 years ago.
It has the biggest grottoes scale in China for its 492 caves, 45,000 square meters paintings and more than 2,000 statues. And it was praised as the Pearl of East Art.
After the discovery of approximately 50,000 Buddhist writings and Holy Scriptures at Dunhuang around 1900, Dunhuang gained a great fame for its Buddhist art relics. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization have listed Dunhuang's Mogao Grottoes on its list of the world's cultural legacies worthy of special protection in December of 1987.
The mural paintings of Dunhuang are especially famous. They are focused on images of the Buddha and Buddhist legends, but also include landscapes, architectures, portraits of the noble patrons, various auspicious animals, plants and other decorations. The Flying Apsaras painted into the frescoes as frames on the murals are very famous.
