The Five Temple Caves (simplified Chinese: 五个庙石窟; traditional Chinese: 五個廟石窟; pinyin: Wǔgèmiào shíkū) is a series of rock cut Buddhist caves in Subei Mongol Autonomous County, Gansu, northwest China.
[1][2] On the basis of their structure and iconography, one of the caves is dated to the Northern Wei, the other three to the Five Dynasties and Song.
[3] In 2013, in recognition of their significance to China, the Five Temple Caves were designated by SACH a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level.
[4] There are four caves with murals:[1][2] A further five kilometres to the south, on the east bank of the Danghe, is a site known as the One Temple Cave (simplified Chinese: 一个庙石窟; traditional Chinese: 一個廟石窟; pinyin: Yīgèmiào shíkū) (39°35′59″N 94°48′48″E / 39.599790°N 94.813462°E / 39.599790; 94.813462).
