Gansu is the cradle of Chinese culture, sits high atop parts of the Loess, Inner Mongolian, and Qinghai-Tibetan plateaus, a natural passage from the heartland of China to Xinjiang and Central Asia in ancient times. The Mogao Caves (Caves of the Thousand Buddhas) near Dunhuang and Maijishan Caves near Tianshui contain murals of artistic and historic value.
