The second Dunhuang in China.

Shuilu Temple is located at the foot of Wangshun Mountain in Puhua Town, Lantian County, Xi'an, about 50 kilometers from downtown Xi'an. Not to mention tourists, even some locals in Xi'an may not know its existence. However, it is a national key cultural relics protection unit and is known as the "second Dunhuang". In the Zhusheng Shuilu Hall in Shuilu Temple, there is the largest and most complete group of murals in China. In this hall of about 100 square meters, there are more than 3,700 Buddha statues.
