What To Expect

Yulin Grotto

At 8am, our guide will meet you at your hotel lobby and then drive to the Yulin Grottoes. Yulin Grottoes locates in Jiuquan City, about 100km east away from Dunhuang city. Although not being as famous as Mogao Grottoes and Longmen Grottoes, Yulin Grottoes is rated highly and commented as a surprise by former visitors. It is the lower fame that makes the grottoes less visited and better protected. Engraved in North Wei Dynasty on the cliff of the Yulin River Valley, Yulin Grottoes looks extremely spectacular. The colorful wall paintings here will take you into another world with strong flavor of history and religion.

The last site to visit today is the Statue of Son of Earth. It was designed by the Professor Dong Shubing from Tsinghua University. In 2016, he raised funds by himself and created such a great work on the wild desert, just to evoke people’s respect and protection to life, environment and earth. It’s a huge visual and emotional impact when you see such a sleeping baby lying on the wild Gobi and forming a strong contrast with the environment around.
