An administration was set up at Dunhuang in A.D. 111. Today this tourist destination attracts people with its tourist destination and with its numerous historic sites such as Yumenguan Pass, ruins of Yangguan Pass, Wuwa Pond, Sanwei Mountain, Ringing-Sand Hill, Crescent-Moon Pool and the many grotto carvings and murals. The Ringing-sand Area is one of China's key tourist attractions. |
