Youyungang Grottoes

Today, my mother took me to visit Yungang Grottoes in Datong, Shanxi. When we arrive at Yungang Grottoes, it looks like a mountain from a distance. Up close, there are 53 grottoes with Buddha statues. Some of the characters in the grottoes are running, some are jumping and some are walking. There is also a Buddha statue, the bare arm weighs two tons, and there is a small Buddha statue more than one meter high below to support him, otherwise the bergamot would have been broken. The Buddha's eyes are embedded with glass, which is very realistic.
