The final puzzle of China's three major grottoes - Yungang Grottoes

The Yungang Grottoes are so famous that I don’t need to introduce them to you. I am happy that after this visit, I have completed the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Luoyang Longmen Grottoes, and Datong Yungang Grottoes. The final puzzle of China's three major grottoes - Yungang Grottoes There are a total of 45 large and small caves in Yungang, which were built during the Northern Wei Dynasty, 500 years later than Mogao Grottoes but earlier than Longmen Grottoes. Currently, Caves 1 to 20 are open to the public, and the most famous Caves 5 and 6 are selected for opening each year. The tour guide said we were lucky, the sixth cave opened this year is more beautiful than the fifth cave 👍 However, the most famous one now is the internet-famous Grotto 19, where you can take a high-five with the Bodhisattva, or ask Him some funny questions to make a kuso picture. There are also 20 caves with Bodhisattvas’ side faces, which are super beautiful when the light and shadow are right. Highly recommended! #Where to go for May Day #Where to go for May Day #Shanxi Tourism #Black Myth Wukong Filming Location #Grotto Tour #Yungang Grottoes
