Yungang Grottoes in Shanxi were excavated during the Northern Wei Dynasty. The scenic spots are divided into landscape areas and cave groups. I think the most worth seeing is the cave groups. In order to protect cultural relics, similar to Dunhuang, some caves in Yungang Grottoes have not been opened, and now there are about 4 caves open to the outside world. 1. Ticket price

tips:

Free of charge. It is recommended to leave Taiyuan at 6: and go to Yingxian (about 26KM, about 3 hours' drive).

After arriving at 9: , we will take a photo with Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, the only pavilion-like building with the oldest, tallest and all-wood structure in Liao and Jin Dynasties, the Buddha Temple Sakyamuni Buddha, one of the three wonders in the world, and the Eiffel Tower in France and the leaning tower in Pisa, Italy. For the need of cultural relics protection, only the lower floor is open to the public.

Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is 67.31m high and 3.27m in diameter at the bottom floor, showing a plane octagon. The whole tower supplies 3 cubic meters of Korean pine wood, more than 26 tons, pure wood structure, no nails and no riveting. Two tooth relics of Sakyamuni Buddha are enshrined in the tower.

at 1: 2, it took an hour to leave Yingxian for Datong (about 1 hour and 3 minutes by car) to have dinner.

at 13: , we arrived at Yungang Grottoes, a world cultural heritage (a two-hour tour). In 1961, the State Council was declared as a national key cultural relic protection unit. On May 8, 27, Yungang Grottoes in Datong City was officially approved as a national 5A-level tourist attraction by the National Tourism Administration.

the grottoes are dug along the mountain, stretching for 1 km from east to west. There are 45 main caves, 252 grottoes, and more than 51, stone sculptures. It is one of the largest ancient grottoes in China, and it is also known as the four major grottoes art treasures in China along with Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Luoyang Longmen Grottoes and Tianshui Maijishan Grottoes.

return to Taiyuan at 15: 3 (Datong-Taiyuan, it takes about 4 hours by car at 3KM, and it takes about 19: 3 to get back to Taiyuan directly by expressway). Introduction to Yungang Grottoes

It takes 4-5 hours to get tickets to 12 yuan and round-trip transportation.

The scenic spot of Yungang Grottoes is really very large, but if you look closely, the cave actually stretches only one kilometer from east to west.

just before entering the scenic spot, there was such a small screening room at the gate. Then there will be an introductory film every two minutes, which is about 13 minutes long.

There are now 45 caves, and the first 2 caves are the ones built by the royal family and with the best visual sense.

In the past, the royal family moved to the capital, and the construction stopped. Then the local dignitaries began to build some small caves.

Personally, the Mogao Grottoes are the most well-protected, mainly enjoying murals; Longmen Grottoes were re-excavated by the royal family after the capital was moved to Luoyang

, which was far less exquisite than Yungang. Yungang is a collection of sculpture art and murals.

Yungang Grottoes can also be regarded as one of the four largest grottoes in China. After the completion of construction, the grottoes are magnificent. Caves 5 and 6 and 9 and 1 are highly recommended, which are very amazing.

Yungang Grottoes are really amazing, and the traffic is very convenient. There are direct buses in the urban area, so it's not a problem to visit them twice. If I go there once, I can usually visit them for four hours.

The most exquisite caves are Cave 6, Cave 9 and Cave 1, which are full of reliefs, but it's a pity that Cave 11 to Cave 13 are closed for maintenance. The most shocking are the third cave, the fifth cave and the fifth cave of Tanyao. The lines of the Buddha statues in the Northern Wei Dynasty are strong and powerful, and there is a dense sense of awe under the Buddha statues.

Some grottoes have written that no photos and flashlights are allowed, so everyone should consciously not close them.

there is a food street at the exit of the scenic spot, which is convenient for tourists to rest and eat. There is also a large parking lot in the scenic spot, which is convenient for tourists from go on road trip to park in 1 yuan.

1 people took the battery car. It's not far from Datong City, about 2 minutes' drive

Yungang Grottoes are about ten kilometers away from Datong City, and the road is also very easy. It is worthy of being a 5A-level scenic spot, and all aspects of it are well managed.

The car can directly enter the scenic spot. The parking lot is commanded by the management personnel, and the car can also be parked in the shade. After parking the car, you can walk back for dozens of meters to the tourist center. The tourist center is divided into two floors, and the upper floor is the entrance to the scenic spot.
