As one of the three most incredible examples of rock sculpture architectures, the Yungang Grottoes are, without a doubt, giant Buddhist masterpieces. Melting then-current society customs and features, the Yungang Grottoes preserve a mixture of, both, Indian Buddhism art and local brilliance, traits that can be clearly seen in these extraordinary Figures.
