The last restoration took place during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Wang said.

"The murals of the Xumishan Grottoes are an art treasure with bright colors and unique artistic techniques," Wang said. "But for both natural and artificial reasons, the frescoes have problems, such as peeling, hollowing and cracking. They need to be repaired urgently."
