Some of our team members decided to stay back in our hotel and not to join in for the morning session due to fatigue and needed some rest.
The scenic area of Mingsha and Crescent Spring is located roughly 5km south of Dunhuang. Being a place where spring meets desert, the area is a natural spectacle and has been known as a desert wonder' from ancient Han dynasty to modern times. The Crescent Spring, which resembles a crescent fallen down into the desert has been listed as National Park of China.
After lunch, we went to the world famous Magao Grottoes or more commonly known as Magao Caves.
Located at the eastern foothills of the Mingsha mountain, construction of these caves began during the former Qin dynasty (366 A.D) which contains 2400 painted sculptures.
