China will invest 200 million yuan or more than US$24 million to build digital Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes.
The digital version is so real that tourists will feel like they are visiting the real grottoes.
The world-famous Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang are located in northwest China's Gansu Province.
The Grottoes date back to 336 A.D. They are the one of the three major Buddhist art treasures in China and are the largest in terms of scale of all existing art collections in the world.
The grand grottoes went on the World Heritage List in 1987.
