The western region of Gansu has a rich history of being home to many World Heritage Sites. The Yulin Caves, also referred to as the Valley of Ten Thousand Buddhas, is a significant heritage site in China that is protected at a national level. It consists of 43 caves that contain over 270 painted statues and 5,000 square meters of murals. The Yulin Caves are often called the 'Sister Caves' of the Mogao Caves.
