Yungang Grottoes
Adjust font size:

Located in the city of Datong in North China's Shanxi province, the Yungang Grottoes are the largest and most famous in the country. Among its 45 caves, the Tan Yao Five Caves are the most eye-catching. One of them features a 17-m high giant Buddha statue ringed by smaller statues and niches.

The Yungang Grottoes are closely linked to the history of the nomadic Sienpi people, who used to roam northern China. In 389AD, the Tuoba tribe of the Sienpi people established the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534AD).

It is said that Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty was riding his horse when he met a learned monk named Tan Yao. The emperor and the empress honored him as their mentor and asked him to preside over the construction of five grand caves in the Wuzhou Hills.

Datong is easy to reach by air, rail and highway from all major cities in north China.
