Awe inspiring is not exaggeration with these buddha statues. I will tell you why in figures. The Yungang Caves were carved 1500 years ago. 252 grottoes where created and within them are over 51,000 buddha statue carvings. The Buddha on the left of this photo is a mere 17 metres high! Not much more I can say other than it's one thing I would recommend that people see before they die. All images creative commons non commercial.
