Visited the Dunhuang Museum today

Among the many municipal museums I have visited, the appearance of the Dunhuang Museum should be considered quite modest, with just an ordinary gate. You can visit for free with a reservation, and I must say the treasures on display here are quite impressive. After all, Dunhuang is a very ancient city, and it has an inseparable connection with the ancient Silk Road. Therefore, the Buddhist niches, cave sculptures, and some murals and tomb-guarding creatures unearthed here are definitely worth seeing. Especially a terracotta figurine, its facial expression is simply hilarious, very amusing! You might as well come and see for yourself.
