Interesting Pair of Western Jin Tombs
Two tombs of noblemen from the Western Jin Dynasty pre-dating the Mogao Cave complex. Admission is 50 yuan and is by guided tour in Chinese.

Great for a short visit
These two tombs are extremely old, but very well maintained. The locals offer a lot of historical information during the tour, and unlike Mogao you can take pictures inside the tombs. This can be done in an hour.
