Yungang Grottoes Photos: Trip Moments
The Yungang Grottoes with an entrance fee of 120 yuan are such a great value!After the Northern Wei Dynasty made Datong its capital, due to the rulers' reverence for Buddhism, many temples were built, and the grottoes were extensively excavated. The main part of the Yungang Grottoes was completed before the Northern Wei moved its capital to Luoyang. The grottoes are carved into the mountain and stretch for 1 kilometer from east to west. The statues range from as tall as 17 meters to as small as 2 centimeters, with approximately 1,100 niches and over 59,000 figures of various sizes. 🌟 Highlights: Listed as a World Heritage Site, one of the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in China, one of the first batch of national 5A-level tourist attractions, and one of the four major grottoes. 🪷 Tour Route: Tan Yao Square ➡️ Buddha's Light Avenue ➡️ Worshiping Buddha Relief Wall ➡️ Lingyan Temple ➡️ Grottoes Cluster ➡️ Food Street 1️⃣ Tan Yao Square: Built to commemorate Tan Yao, the founder of the Yungang Grottoes, the square features a statue of the high monk Tan Yao at its center. 2️⃣ Buddha's Light Avenue: Buddha's Light Avenue is a three-dimensional sculpture art gallery, with blooming lotus carvings on the ground and 13 pairs of 'Elephants Carrying Pagodas' statues on both sides. The statues are inspired by the sculptures from the middle period of the Yungang Grottoes and incorporate many cultural elements from the grottoes. The base relief depicts a group of Northern Wei donors dressed in Xianbei attire. 3️⃣ Worshiping Buddha Relief Wall: Walking west through the forest of sacred pillars on Buddha's Light Avenue, you will find two fan-shaped royal Worshiping Buddha relief walls facing each other, with a Bodhi tree in the middle, adorned with prayer plaques from visitors. 4️⃣ Lingyan Temple: Moving forward, you will arrive at Lingyan Temple, located in the center of the lake island within the Yungang Grottoes scenic area. The entire temple consists of three courtyards and is built according to the description by the famous Northern Wei geographer Li Daoyuan in his 'Commentary on the Water Classic'. 5️⃣ Grottoes Cluster: Since the grottoes are built along the mountain, you can simply follow the same direction to visit them all. Some of the smaller Buddha statues in the caves have been eroded by weather over the years and are somewhat indistinct, but the larger statues are still relatively well-preserved. A must-visit spot: Cave 20, which is the only cave with an exposed Buddha statue and is also the symbol of the Yungang Grottoes. 6️⃣ Food Street: An obligatory path at the exit, offering Datong's local specialties and some craft souvenirs. Compared to many other scenic areas, I found that the prices of cultural and creative products in Datong are very reasonable. Don't miss out on the coal gangue crafts. 7️⃣ Others: If you have enough time, consider visiting the Yungang Art Gallery, Yungang History Museum, and Yungang Museum. 🚗 Transportation: There are tourist buses from Datong city to the Yungang Grottoes, or you can drive there. If you go during holidays, the last few kilometers can be very congested. If driving, there's no need to go all the way into the scenic area; we parked our car on a small road outside a nearby residential area and then walked across the bridge to the entrance of the grottoes. 🎫 Ticket: 120 yuan (full price for adults, with half-price discounts for special groups) Honestly, for such a large scenic area with so many small attractions, this ticket price is really conscientious. 📌 Tips: If you want to avoid crowds, it's recommended not to sleep in and to start your trip early in the morning.brianna_likes_adrenal_cortex1
Come to Datong! Enjoy a two-day trip with kids like thisIt's only a 2h distance by high-speed train from Taiyuan to Datong. Besides historical sites, don't miss out on the delicious food! A city walk with kids can be very relaxing! About the attractions: Yingxian Wooden Pagoda: It is the tallest and oldest pure wooden structure in the world, known as one of the 'Three Wonders of the World' along with Italy's Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It holds high value in the history of Chinese architecture. Hanging Temple: Originally named 'Xuankong Pavilion', it was later renamed to 'Hanging Temple' because the entire temple appears to be hanging on the cliff. It is a fusion of mechanics, aesthetics, and religion, and is definitely worth a visit. Yungang Grottoes: The carving of the Yungang Grottoes began during the Northern Wei Dynasty, led by Tan Yao. He chose Wuzhou Mountain, 'carved the mountain walls, opened five caves, and engraved Buddha statues in each, with the tallest being seventy feet and the next sixty feet. The sculptures are magnificent and crowned in the world.' If you're taking kids, you might want to watch a documentary or prepare the picture book 'The Little Stonemason' to learn about the history beforehand. Datong Ancient City: Huayan Temple and the Nine Dragon Screen are must-visits!! Especially Huayan Temple, it's so photogenic when it's sunny~ The red walls, green tiles, and murals are perfect for dressing up in Hanfu or horse-face skirts for a stronger experience! About the food: Sea buckthorn juice is a must-drink! It's sour and sweet, very refreshing. Baihua Shaomai has a very thin skin~ There are many flavors, personally, I think it tastes similar to soup dumplings, not a big fan. Knife-cut noodles, any place in Datong is delicious!! I must say, Shanxi's noodles are yyds (eternally godlike)~ About transportation: You can choose to hire a car or rent one. Taking a taxi via platforms is also cost-effective, and they won't overcharge you.WanderingDesires
Yungang Grottoes, my favorite destination this yearIf you don't come to Yungang, you won't have the chance to experience the ultimate wisdom of the ancients If you don't come to Yungang, you won't have the chance to experience how rich the Northern Wei Dynasty was From the wide and long Sima Road directly to the thirty-nine grottoes, it is a grand display of ancient tomb culture What Yungang shows is the grandeur that the ancients could imagine and achieve during the heyday of the Northern Wei Dynasty Children from the south have never seen such a spectacular group of architectural sculptures The statues of the Xianbei people have a lot more vivid and bright colors than those in the Central Plains. Although the figurines seen in the Datong Museum are small, they are much better than the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, each with a story-like appearance You must come once in your lifetimeastralis_5972

Yungang Grottoes | A 1500-year journey for a dialogue with the millennium-old grottoesVisiting each of China's four major grottoes, I find each has its uniqueness. This time, I finally arrived at the Yungang Grottoes in Datong, and to my surprise, I was deeply impressed. The older I get, the more I enjoy learning about history and ancient relics. - The excavation of the grottoes began around 460-465 AD, and the process lasted for over 70 years. With the changes of the times, the grottoes also slowly underwent new transformations, with Buddha statues being sculpted based on contemporary figures. Initially, the statues were colorless, but later they became more and more exquisite, with a lot of colors added to them. The architectural style of wooden structures from the Northern Wei Dynasty was also extensively used in the grottoes, and extremely rare architectural elements such as 'herringbone arches, one dou and three sheng, herringbone arches, and flying apsaras can all be found here. • The grottoes also showcase the fusion of Eastern and Western art, perfectly reflecting the cultural prosperity of the Silk Road, such as the Cupid-shaped flying apsaras, which are very impressive. - 🌟Photo Spots 1. In front of the classic largest open-air Buddha. 2. Next to the open-air Buddha, there are stairs to climb up for a close-up side view of the Buddha. 3. There is a grotto filled with various small statues, a whole row of which is very shocking, and the carvings are very vivid and detailed. 4. The first grotto is quite spacious and also great for taking photos. Although it lacks color, the morning light shines through the holes and illuminates the interior.DRAKE DAWSON
I was amazed by Datong! It's as if I took a trip to the Northern Wei DynastyI was amazed by Datong! It's as if I took a trip to the Northern Wei Dynasty. As one of China's four major grottoes, the renovation of the Yungang Grottoes is not superfluous at all! Compared to before, more grottoes have been opened to the public, and there's no need to book in batches; you can see all the essence at once! The 'Two Sages' form is a feature not found in other grottoes, reflecting the era of the Northern Wei Dynasty; figures resembling little angels and Poseidon are also presented in the grottoes, offering a glimpse into the grand integration of the Western Regions in the north at that time; Tickets plus sightseeing car cost 135 yuan, and I also hired a top-rated guide for 380 yuan, which I think is very worthwhile! Picture 4◎ Huayan Temple A very grand temple, the wooden 'great dome' is stunning, and it also houses a Liao Dynasty scripture cave and a unique 'fairy with a back-exposing, tooth-showing smile,' which is definitely worth seeing: after climbing to the top, you can overlook the entire panorama of Datong's ancient city, and discover that there's also a church nearby, signifying a great religious integration; Tickets (discount available by scanning the code at the ticket office) are 40 yuan, and the guide is 120 yuan; murals are allowed to be illuminated with a guide's flashlight, not a flash; there's also the Datong Museum (free guided tours at 9:30 and 10:00, after following the guide, you can come back and browse on your own, take a closer look); Remember to visit the ancient city wall (free), where you can take a sightseeing car for a ride, or rent a bicycle; I really like the night view here, it has a 'fusion of ancient and modern' feel, a journey through time at the Yungang Grottoesthora_8193

Having read countless books, I hold the Northern Wei in high esteem, dedicating my life to the reverence of YungangShanxi - Yungang Grottoes 'All the troubles of the human world are nothing compared to a single smile of the Buddha.' Every journey has its end, and for this trip to Shanxi, I want to leave the finale to this place that has amazed and moved me the most - the Yungang Grottoes. Pictures truly cannot capture one ten-thousandth of its beauty. When the afternoon sun shines down from the top of the caves onto the statues, and when you feel the texture of these Buddhas up close, all the exquisite craftsmanship and devout hearts passed down from ancient times make me understand why this place is a 'must-visit in a lifetime'. This trip to Shanxi has really given me a good impression, it feels like a treasure of a tourist destination that has been delayed by its own publicity. 'For underground relics, see Shaanxi; for aboveground relics, see Shanxi.' In this place, the wind carries whispers of history, and every structure and scene has its own story. Having read countless books, I hold the Northern Wei in high esteem, dedicating my life to the reverence of Yungang Transportation: Take bus No. 3 from the high-speed train station to the city center, then take bus No. 3 directly to the entrance of the Yungang scenic area (available for both ways) One ticket: 120 yuan for adults, 60 yuan for students Tip: The recommended visiting time is 2~3 hours. It's advisable to tour in the afternoon as the morning has a larger flow of people, and the afternoon is more suitable for taking photos and checking inCAROLINA DELGADO

Yungang Grottoes✅ The Yungang Grottoes, a treasure of ancient Chinese art, stand in the western suburbs of Datong City, Shanxi Province. They are one of the largest treasure houses of stone cave art in China and an important part of the world cultural heritage. This magnificent group of grottoes is known for its exquisite carving skills, rich cultural connotations, and profound historical impact. The Yungang Grottoes were first carved in 460 AD and have been constructed and expanded through multiple dynasties including the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Northern Qi, Sui, Tang, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing, forming a grand and majestic art complex. Here, you can admire the perfect combination of various art forms such as Buddha statues, murals, and stone carvings, and feel the profoundness of ancient Chinese culture. ✅ The Yungang Grottoes are one of the largest grottoes in China and, along with the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, and the Maijishan Grottoes, are known as the four great grotto art treasures of China. ✅ Located 16 kilometers west of Datong City in Shanxi Province, at the southern foot of Wuzhou Mountain, the grottoes stretch about one kilometer from east to west, with a grand and magnificent presence and rich content: the tallest Buddha statue is 17 meters (located in the main shrine of Cave 5, the Sakyamuni Buddha) and the smallest is only 2 centimeters (located on the middle layer of the west wall in the antechamber of Cave 9), making it the largest grotto complex in China. ✅ There are currently 45 main caves, 252 small niches, and over 51,000 statues, representing the outstanding Buddhist grotto art of China from the 5th to the 6th century. The development of the Yungang Grottoes can be divided into three periods: 1️⃣ The early period, the Tan Yao Five Caves (Caves 16-20), were supervised by the high monk Tan Yao. With their rigorous and unified layout design, they are classic masterpieces of the first peak period of Chinese Buddhist art and were inscribed on the World Heritage List in December 2001. 2️⃣ The middle period (Caves 1-15) was mainly constructed on a large scale by the royal family. 3️⃣ The late period, after Cave 20, was mainly constructed by the public. After the Northern Wei dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, the history of the royal family's large-scale construction of Buddha statues at Yungang also came to an end. The Yungang Grottoes have a profound historical heritage. With over 1500 years of history, if you also love history, Buddhist culture, Buddha statues, and ancient architecture, then a visit will certainly be worthwhile.AvaMacLeod93
Regretting coming too late to Yungang Grottoes, a millennium-old cave in Datong, ShanxiThe cold wind slaps the face, but I don't want to leave! The North of the Great Wall in winter is quiet and solemn, Outside the cave, the cold wind is rustling, like a whisper through a thousand years. Inside the cave, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, a beam of light traces back a thousand years of memory. You will definitely be intoxicated in such an artistic conception. Watching the past millennium in winter, I feel respect. 🚶Travel guide: The distance from the ancient city is only 16 kilometers, and it is very convenient to take a bus, taxi or charter. ✅The route of Yungang Grottoes is quite simple. After buying a ticket and walking through the Buddha Avenue, you can choose to take a sightseeing car. It is recommended to take it in winter, as it is too cold to walk. Then I will talk about some features and precautions inside. ✅If you only arrange a half-day itinerary for Yungang Grottoes, it is recommended to go in the afternoon, because the grottoes are west-facing, and the afternoon light will enter the cave through the small window, which is particularly beautiful. ✅It is recommended to hire a guide for the grottoes, especially for those who have not made a strategy. After listening, you will have a sudden realization. ✅Currently, caves 1-20 are open. 16-20 are the Tan Yao Five Caves, where the essence lies. ✅There is a cultural and creative shop in the middle of the grottoes, where you can collect stamps. There is also a Northern Wei tea and food, the window is the grottoes, the atmosphere is too good. ✅If you bring a child, you can also go to the nearby Jinhua Palace National Mine Park to explore the mine.nyras_2335

There is history and culture! Exquisite, Datong's business card! Every person who comes to Datong must punch in the place. If you want to know fully, you must ask a gold medal commentator. If you want to know in general, you can listen to it on the Himalayas!
Zhang Jian's tour guide explained in great detail. I was fortunate to have been talking from 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock. I learned a lot of knowledge. Thank you very much! Yungang Grottoes are too shocking. Datong tourism is the most worthwhile attraction. It is a worthwhile trip!
It’s worth going, it’s amazing, but some holes don’t allow photos to be taken. The weather is fine. It’s suitable for tourism. ～ It’s not completely finished. 🈶️ The store where you punch in and stamp your card, buy a blind box, and draw a Di Renjie, and then you can understand Di Renjie’s life. When you go, build roads, a bit winding. But it should be fixed now, and go again if you have a chance!
I saw it on May 2, although there are many people and cars traveling during the May Day holiday, and every time I see a grotto, I have to queue up, but the first time I see the grotto is still very shocking and excited. Listening to the rambling of the explainer, it seems to be back to the Northern Wei Dynasty of more than 1,600 [cost-effective] years ago.
World Cultural Heritage Site, National 5A Scenic Spot, Millennium History Precipitated, now watching so many people come to Datong to travel, thank everyone who paid for the construction of the big scenic spot that year, and feel proud and proud of having such a historical and humanistic landscape!
never expected that much experience I will get. this is very busy place on weekends and better to visit weekdays and spend at least 3-4 hours. you will be amused and it is better than many such places

The scenic spot is very good, but there is no obvious scenic spot entry prompt on the roadside. The scenic spot is also inside. I hope to add scenic spot signs and you can take a lot of wrong roads less.
