·It was carved by the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty who ruled northern China at that time by concentrating national skills, manpower and material resources. It is one of the four major grottoes in my country.
·The scenic area is divided into a landscape area and a grotto group. The grotto group is the biggest attraction and is divided into three areas. There are currently about 40 caves open to the public.
·The third cave is the largest grotto in Yungang, and the fifth and sixth caves are twin caves. The murals in the caves are exquisite and are the most representative of the Yungang Grottoes.
·There is also a grotto museum in the scenic area, which displays the remains of the grottoes and allows you to learn about the history of the grottoes.
