[多项选择]敦煌坐落在甘肃省西北的沙漠走廊地带，其西靠近新疆，其东是祁连山脉。这座有两千年历史的古城，曾经是联结中国和中亚的丝绸之路上一个重要的商队驻足地。如今，其吸引来客的主要原因在于：敦煌是世界上已知的佛教艺术的一个最珍贵的宝藏的所在地——莫高窟。据一幅唐石刻所载，此处的石刻始于公元360年。当时一位名叫乐僧的和尚经过该地，看到一千个金佛的景象。随后一千年间，在陡峭的沙岩峭壁上刻出了数以百计的洞穴：所有洞穴成蜂窝状，其间有木制栈道和梯子相接。

参考答案:
Dunhuang is located in the desert corridor of northwestern Gansu Province. It is close to Xinjiang Autonomous Region in the west, and it faces the Qilian Mountains in the east. This ancient city with a history of B, 000 years was an important place for temporary stay for trade caravans on the Silk Road linking China and the Central Asia. At present, the major reason why it attracts visitors is that Dunhuang is the seat of Mogao Grottoes with the most precious treasures of the Buddhist art known in the world. As recorded in a stone inscription of the Tang Dynasty, stones were first carved here around CF0 AD. At that time, a monk named Le Seng passed through the place and saw the scene of A, 000 golden Buddhas. One thousand years later, hundreds of caves were carved on the precipitous sand and rock cliff. All of them took shape of beehives linked by plank roads and ladders.
