Welcome to our expeditions section!

Our featured expedition takes us to the remote desert oasis city of Dunhuang, China and it's treasure trove of Buddhist arts and culture known as the Mogao Grottoes.

Dunhuang is located in the western side of Gansu Province in Northwestern China. Dunhuang was established during the Han Dynasty around 111 BC and quickly became the key junction of economic, cultural, and religious exchange between China, Persia, Tibet, India, and Europe. This important junction on the Silk Road is most famous for it's Mogao Grottoes, widely considered by experts to be the single most spectacular collection of Buddhist sculpture, painting, and scripture anywhere in the world.
