01Under the Flaming Sky: Exploring the Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves
A clutch of cool grottoes tucked in Turpan’s Flaming Mountains, the Bezeklik Caves hold centuries of Buddhist murals and Silk Road crosscurrents. Visit with context—pair the caves with the Karez wells, Gaochang ruins, and a local Uyghur village for a fuller picture of this desert corridor.
