The ancient Buddha caves are even more ancient than the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, but unfortunately the protection is not so good. Now the tickets are free, a total of six caves are open, there are guides and explanations, and it is not worthwhile to go on a trip.

    The murals of the Thousand Buddha Cave of Kezier were badly destroyed and heartache was great. In the opening of a few caves, there is no complete reservation, some tourists complain that they can't see anything, in fact, they see, and there are a few people who can understand ancient murals, understand Western culture, I don't know, but I think it is blessing to stand in this Buddhist place!

    Keqier Grottoes are located in Keqier Township, Baicheng County, Xinjiang, and there are 349 caves exposed to the ground, and only 6 caves are currently open! It is the first of the four major caves in Buddhism in China. It is the earliest cave temple group in China. It integrates architecture 🏡, mural 🖼, sculpture 🗿. It enjoys the reputation of "art treasure house". Unfortunately, many have been destroyed and cannot see the real thing. Here, even if you see only relics, you can feel the great creation and wisdom of our ancients through these!

    Keqier Thousand Buddha Cave, located in Baicheng County, Xinjiang, was dug in the 3rd century AD, and gradually stopped construction in the 1st century AD. It is the earliest large-scale grotto group with the most geographical location in China. It is one of the four famous Buddhist grottoes in China. The length of its continuation is also unique in the world. Yes! Not to Xinjiang, I don't know how big Xinjiang is! Fortunately, I can eat at the Grotto Academic Exchange Center restaurant. The replicas hanging in the restaurant deepen our impression of the Grottoes. They are exquisite and exquisite. They are much more beautiful and exquisite than those opened to the outside world...

    Keqier Grottoes in Baicheng County, Xinjiang, in the territory of Guguizi. Keqier Thousand Buddha Cave is the earliest and most geographically located large grotto group in China, which was drilled about the 3rd century AD. Although the scale and exquisiteness of the grottoes are not comparable to the four grottoes, the historical status and research value are very high. The famous monk in our history, Morosh, was born in the country of Kuriz at that time.
