This famous city has over 1,000 caves that the Buddhist Monks inhabited nearly 1700 years ago.
Inside some 300 caves are Buddhist Statues and other paintings and murals. This entry inside the door has a five-story Buddha in it. This incredible sight could not be photographed. The Chinese are recently learning how to preserve these artifacts and will not allow photos.

We were at the edge of the Gobi desert, where we rode camels out to an Oasis.
Camel ride was very gentle. Going up and coming down is an adventure!
