Yungang Grottoes

It's an amazing place, showing the spread of Buddhism across China. I'm comparing this to the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, and preferring that over this. The colors in Mogao are much more brilliant, perhaps because of better preservation n stricter management of tourists. At this Yungang Grottoes site, some of the old carvings are actually within reach of the public, and I clearly see children having a go at them while their parents click away. Still a good experience to see some amazing relics.

Absolutely breathtaking. I’m amazing at what humans were able to achieve this many years ago. I still get emotional thinking back to the visit. Grateful that these gems exist and are open for the world to see

Visit only if you wish to ustd by the China dynasty history and how it developed and their believe in Buddhism and respect over different dynasties and the rich.
