On March 25, after a sleet at the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, a world cultural heritage site, thick snow and ice covered the branches, which was quite dreamy.
The Mogao Grottoes have a history of more than 1,600 years. So far, there are 735 caves, 45,000 square meters of murals and more than 2,000 painted sculptures.
Dunhuang, located on the eastern edge of the Kumtag Desert, has a temperate arid inland climate and is known as "China's Arid Pole".
