She has beautiful nine-colored fur. The deer is kind and helps sick and poor people. In fact, this nine-colored deer comes from a painting in the Mogao Grottoes(莫高窟), in Dunhuang, Gansu. The grottoes appeared in AD 366. They hold the world’s best art. The clay figures(泥塑) and paintings on the wall are the most important ones in the Mogao Grottoes. There are more than 2,000 colored clay figures in 735 caves. The tallest is 34.5 meters high, while the smallest is only 2 cm. The most beautiful paintings are of dancing—Flying Apsaras(飞天). They wear beautiful clothes. Among them, a fairy plays the pipa behind her back. This painting gives dancers lots of new ideas. Besides the importance of its art, the Mogao Grottoes paintings also show how people in the past lived. Some show people’s farming, eating and fighting. Others show their wedding and funeral(葬礼) customs. In 1987 the Mogao Grottoes became a UNESCO World Heritage(遗产) Site. Now many visitors from all over the world come to visit it.

Nowadays it is regarded as a wonder of architecture(建筑设计). Millions of tourists come to visit it each year. Also, it is the most visited place for foreign leaders when they come to China. Why is the Great Wall so inviting? The Great Wall has different parts and each one is very special. The Jinshanling section of the Great Wall in Hebei is the most beautiful section. In spring, it is surrounded by white and red apricot blossoms. During summertime, green plants circle the wall. In autumn, maple leaves paint a golden and red scene. And winter puts the Great Wall in a world of white snow. The “wild wall” is great for backpackers. The wild parts of the wall are for the adventurous(喜欢冒险的) tourists. The Jiankou section of the Great Wall is a famous one. There are many kinds of plants on the wall. Trees grow up between the stones. In some places, you have to climb the stones with both your hands and feet. Be careful when you visit the wild walls, and you’d better not go there alone. Have you heard about Meng Jiangnü?
