Dunhuang - Crescent Moon Lake and the Mogao Caves

One part of our trip went to far western China - a town called Dunhuang. The 'famous' Crescent Moon Lake is located.  It started losing water in the '90s so the country in an effort to keep the tourists started adding water to the lake.
The Mogao Caves were next - overwhelming numbers of caves and spectacular wall art.
