Recognised as one of the final monuments in the history of cave art, these masterpieces were carved between the 9th and 13th centuries.
Imagine more than 100,000 statues, each blending Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian ideas. 🧘♀️⚖️ Together, they paint a vivid picture of society and philosophy from a thousand years ago. Whether you're into spiritual vibes, art history or epic selfies, there's something here for everyone.
Why it rocks:
