Dunhuang was considered one of the major trading points along the Silk Road with roads leading from India to Mongolia and to Siberia. But Dunhuang is not known for its trading successes as much as it is known for the phenomenal cave-temples. In 1900 there was a discovery of the Dunhuang Library Cave which contained many ancient cultural relics that included religious writings, administrative documents, as well as a variety of paintings.
