Together with Yungang Grottoes (in Datong, Shanxi province), Longmen Grottoes (in Luoyang, Henan province) and Maiji Mountain Grottoes (in Tianshui, Gansu province), they are the four largest grottoes in China.
After visiting Mogao Grottoes, you’ ll be guided to Minshashan Singing Sands Mountain. As you can see in its name, it’s an area in desert where the sands make sounds.
