CHINESE ADVENTURES - Dunhuang, Gansu
We had 3 days in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, an historic city along the Silk Road, and we squeezed in a lot! We visited the Crescent Lake (twice), and the hugely impressive Mogao Caves! Sadly we weren't allowed to film inside, but we hope to provide a little taster of what we experienced ... With just a little time in Gansu Province, we'd be interested in seeing more!

THE HEXI CORRIDOR - EP07．Dun Huang
The heyday of the Tang Dynasty was also the most prosperous period of the Silk Road and the most glorious era of Dunhuang art. Artisans from Chang’an brought the charming Chang’an art to Dunhuang. Under the support of local distinguished families and powerful clans, they continued the construction of Dunhuang Grottoes and began to paint Dunhuang murals. Taking the construction of Cave 220 of Dunhuang Grottos as an example, this episode tells a story about how Dunhuang Grottos witnessed the prosperity of the Silk Road and became an epitome of the flourishing era of Tang.

China:
Beijing (formerly romanized as Peking) is the capital of the People's Republic of China and the world's third most populous city proper. It is also one of the world's most populous capital city. The city, located in northern China, is governed as a direct-controlled municipality under the national government with 16 urban, suburban, and rural districts.[9] Beijing Municipality is surrounded by Hebei Province with the exception of neighboring Tianjin Municipality to the southeast; together the three divisions form the Jingjinji metropolitan region and the national capital region of China.Beijing is the second largest Chinese city by urban population after Shanghai and is the nation's political, cultural, and educational center. It is home to the headquarters of most of China's largest state-owned companies, and is a major hub for the national highway, expressway, railway, and high-speed rail networks. The Beijing Capital International Airport is the second busiest in the world by passenger traffic. The city's subway network is among the longest and busiest in the world.The city's history dates back three millennia. As the last of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, Beijing has been the political center of the country for much of the past eight centuries. The city is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, parks, gardens, tombs, walls and gates,[14] and its art treasures and universities have made it a center of culture and art in China.[14] Encyclopædia Britannica notes that few cities in the world have served for so long as the political headquarters and cultural centre of an area as immense as China. Beijing has seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Ming Tombs, Zhoukoudian, as well as parts of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal.Beijing hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics and was chosen to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, which will make it the first city to ever host both events.Wikipedia

DUNHUANG
Am Rande der Wüste Gobi auf der Seidenstraße, hinter den Dünen der singenden Sande, liegen die Höhlen von Dunhuang.
Während nahezu eintausend Jahren zwischen dem 5. und 14. Jahrhundert, wurden die Innenwände von 492 Höhlen vollständig bemalt.
Die spirituellen Motive zeigen besonders häufig fliegende, feinstoffliche Wesen mit Musikinstrumenten.
Ihre fließenden Darstellungen gleichen dem vom Wind bewegten Sande.
Mit ihnen zu spielen verbindet Himmel und Erde.
In der chinesischen Mythologie hüten vier Wächter über die Himmelsrichtungen.
Der Wächter des östlichen Tores Dhritarashtra, ist auch der Leiter und Konzertmeister der himmlischen Musikanten.
Er hat die Eigenschaft, dass alle Klänge, die an sein Ohr dringen, zu ihrem Ursprung zurückschallen und dort Leiden verursachen.
Doch da er kein Leiden verursachen will, muss er verhindern, dass Töne an sein Ohr dringen.
Darum spielt er selbst die Laute, um sie zu übertönen.
Und so wie er manchmal dargestellt wird, zieht er sich einen Helm aus Elefantenhaut tief über die Ohren.
Mogao Caves (UNESCO/NHK)
Situated at a strategic point along the Silk Route, at the crossroads of trade as well as religious, cultural and intellectual influences, the 492 cells and cave sanctuaries in Mogao are famous for their statues and wall paintings, spanning 1,000 years of Buddhist art.

Description
Traveling in Northwest China | Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang
I took a road trip to the northwest part of China in Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang province. Along the trip, we saw canyons, mountains, desert, salt lake, and lakes. We also went to the starting point of the Great Wall, the Mogao Cave, and experienced the Islamic culture in the Xinjiang Province.
Our Route: Lanzhou (where we rented our car) - Zhangye National Geopark - Jiayuguan (Starting point of the Great Wall) - Hami - Turpan (The Flaming Mountain, The King's Tomb, Turpan Museum) - Dunhuang (The Echoing Sound Mountain, Mogao Cave) - Qinghai (Chaka Salt Lake, Qinghai Lake)
