Then go to Binyang Cave, another famous cave, where you can see 1 1 Giant Buddha. Sakyamuni, the Lord, is a masterpiece of stone carving art in the mid-Northern Wei Dynasty.

There is a beautiful lotus at the top of the cave, surrounded by inscriptions. Guyang Cave in Nanshan is also very famous, so you can go and have a look, because it is the earliest cave excavated in Longmen Grottoes, with rich contents.

2 East Gate Grottoes

After seeing Ximen Grottoes, you can cross the Yihe Bridge and then go to Dongmen Grottoes. The steps of Dongmen Grottoes are steep, although there are several Buddha statues.

Attracting tourists is not as good as Ximen Grottoes. It is for these reasons that the East Gate Grottoes add a bit of silence and solemnity.

After crossing an aerial pontoon bridge, I came to a small hole. Although the Buddha statue has long disappeared, tourists like to put it in small denominations.

Coins and banknotes are put into it, praying for the protection and blessing of the gods.
