The Mogao Caves are the best known of the Chinese Buddhist grottoes

The Mogao Caves, or Mogao Grottoes (Chinese: 莫高窟; pinyin: mò gāo kū) (also known as the Caves of the Thousand Buddhas and Dunhuang Caves) form a system of 492 temples 25 km (15.5 miles) southeast of the center of Dunhuang, an oasis strategically located at a religious and cultural crossroads on the Silk Road, in Gansu province, China. The caves contain some of the finest examples of Buddhist art spanning a period of 1,000 years. The first caves were dug out 366 AD as places of Buddhist meditation and worship. The Mogao Caves are the best known of the Chinese Buddhist grottoes and, along with Longmen Grottoes and Yungang Grottoes, are one of the three famous ancient sculptural sites of China. The caves also have famous wall paintings. Welcome to China, Chinatourguide.com is pleasure to provide service for your China tours, We also provide Thailand tour packages or Cambodia tour packages.

 
This massive network of caves preserved nearly a thousand years of Buddhist architecture, clay sculpture, murals, and a library of manuscripts and scrolls, dating from the 5th to the 14th centuries. In the 19th century western explorers managed to barter for many thousands of manuscripts that were written in Chinese, Tibetan, Sanskrit, Sogdian and other tongues, and masses of silk paintings from the caves. One of these manuscripts dated back to 868 A.D and is considered one of the oldest printed books in the world.

Many of the other manuscripts that had been taken from the caves by the westerners are now on show in New Delhi and in London. The rest of the 50,000 odd manuscripts and scrolls were considered to be in danger by the Chinese government and were ordered to be moved securely to Beijing in the early 1900’s. In 1961 they officially declared the caves to be a national monument, and now time and finances are continually being secured to carry on with the restoration of these ancient and delicate murals, and to preserve the cave structures from further damage.

Wuzhen Water Town is administrated by Tongxiang City of Zhejiang Province

Wuzhen Water Town is administrated by Tongxiang City of Zhejiang Province. It locates in the center among the six ancient towns in the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It borders with Huzhou city in the west and Taoyuan Town in Wujiang County of Jiangsu Province in the north. Welcome to China for Guangzhou Fair, HRC is pleased to take you to grab a genuine China Tour and Indochina Tours.

 
The uniqueness of the town lies in its layout, being 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) long and divided into six districts. These are: Traditional Workshops District, Traditional Local-Styled Dwelling Houses District, Traditional Culture District, Traditional Food and Beverage District, Traditional Shops and Stores District, and Water Township Customs and Life District. Wandering along the east-west-east circuit created by these six districts, you will enjoy the atmosphere of the traditional cultures and the original ancient features of the town that have been preserved intact.

A special thing about Wuzhen is that some of the houses beside the river is built on pillars to lift them above the surface of the waterway. Wooden or stone pillars are fixed into the waterway bed, crossbeams are fixed to the pillars, and wooden boards are fixed on to form floors. This architectural feature is called a “water pavilion”. This is part of the original architecture of Wuzhen. The water pavilion is really “on the waterway”. There are often windows on the three sides of this feature, facing the waterway, through which people can have a wonderful view of the watery scenery. Mao Dun described the water pavilion in his hometown in his book Da Di Shan He saying: “…outside the back door there is the river. Standing beside the back door people can get water by hanged tubs. In my dreams I can still hear the sound of the boats floating in the air…” In a sense, the water pavilion is the spirit of Wuzhen. It’s not as gorgeous as the tall buildings. However, with water pavilions, people in Wuzhen get closer with the water; with water pavilions, the scenery of Wuzhen becomes more charming; with water pavilions, the temperament of Wuzhen is more elegant; with water pavilions, the history of Wuzhen becomes more cultural. Water pavilions are only present in the water town of Wuzhen and they make this place charming.
