Motuo, with its lower altitude and subtropical climate, enjoys long sunshine hours and abundant rainfall. The bananas produced in Motuo are small in size but have a smooth texture, sweet taste, and are rich in starch. They can clear heat and moisten the intestines, promote gastrointestinal motility, and have a good auxiliary therapeutic effect on conditions such as indigestion and constipation. They are a representative fruit of Motuo that is very popular among tourists.I told the blogger via private message to delete the secretly recorded content, or else I would have everyone report him. The blogger then blocked me.” In the video’s comment section, netizens actively discussed the topic of photography being prohibited inside the cave.

The blogger stated: “Photography is prohibited inside the cave, and I was stopped after taking just two pictures.

Some netizens also questioned the post for attracting traffic, saying, “Photography is not allowed inside the caves, as it damages the cultural relics. The staff explained this clearly. The blogger is really crossing the line just to go viral.””Mogaokujingquxiangguanfuzerenhuiying:“Shikuneijinzhiyoukerenhexingshidepaisheheluxiang,Womenjiangjiaqianganbaoxunchalidu,Bingdiaochagailvyoubozhudeshipinneirong.

” A spokesperson for the Mogao Caves scenic area responded: “Any form of photography or videography by tourists inside the caves is prohibited. We will strengthen security patrols and investigate the content of the travel blogger’s video.

On the morning of May 2, an Upstream News reporter saw on the personal page of the reported travel blogger three short videos introducing a trip to Dunhuang, among which the 43rd to 45th seconds of the video “Dunhuang Trip (II)” appeared to show footage taken inside a cave.

On May 2, a reporter contacted the Mogao Grottoes scenic area's Cave Explanation Department posing as a tourist to report the situation. After hearing the description, the staff member who answered the phone responded: "We will strengthen security patrols and investigate the content of the travel blogger's videos."

According to the 'Mogao Grottoes Cultural Relics Protection Management Regulations,' photography inside the caves is not allowed without prior application.”

A netizen named “Tianya” told a reporter from Upstream News: “His shooting angle clearly shows he was hiding behind the crowd, secretly recording everyone from behind.”

"Regarding the regulations for visiting the Mogao Caves," the staff member mentioned above stated: "Outside the cave area, tourists can take photos and videos, but inside the caves, whether using low light or not using a flash, taking photos and videos is currently not allowed."”

For a long time, most people have believed that “no photography” policies are meant to prevent the strong light of camera flashes from causing chemical reactions with the murals, accelerating oxidation and flaking, which can lead to discoloration and damage. Additionally, some voices have argued that the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang are a treasured part of Chinese culture and should not be easily disseminated outside.

Some netizens were very upset, saying, “We’ve said it over and over again: no photography inside the caves. Why did you still take pictures?

At the same time, the prolonged presence of tourists in the caves generates a large amount of carbon dioxide, and changes in humidity and temperature can accelerate the “deterioration” of the grottoes. The dissolution of pigment particles can cause the murals to peel off. “Most tourists understand the measures we have taken, and currently photography and videography are still prohibited in the Mogao Caves.””
