Grutas de Longmen y Yungang China
China Patrimonio de la Humanidad - Luoyang, Grutas de Longmen. Luoyang (洛阳)
Las grutas y los nichos de Longmen contienen la colección más grande y más impresionante del arte chino de las últimas dinastías del norte de Wei y de la espiga (316-907). Estas obras, enteramente dedicadas a la religión budista, representan el punto culminante de la talla de piedra china. 探索 發現 世界 文: 龍門 石窟 [世界 遗产 在 中国
El Buda sentado de cueva 20, esta cueva representa los Tres Budas del pasado, presente y futuro. 云冈石窟
El Buda sentado 14 m de altura de la cueva 20 es un icono del arte chino, comparable a las colosales Budas expuestas de Dunhuang y Longmen. Estaba flanqueado originalmente por un par de budas de pie más pequeñas, de las cuales sólo la figura del Este ahora permanece. agujeros cuadrados en la pared del fondo una vez socketed las vigas de una fachada protectora de madera, ahora cosa del pasado. Las partes inferiores de las figuras han astillado de distancia, un destino compartido por muchas esculturas en Yungang; su roca arenisca blanda era ideal para talla fina, evidente en el detalle de la túnica del Buda, pero susceptible a alteraciones destructivas de la temperatura, el viento y el clima. Sus caras, aunque parcialmente restaurado, han conservado la fisonomía no china que fue heredado de sus predecesores en Dunhuang; Del mismo modo el ropaje de sus ropas, es Asia Central, en lugar de China.
Cuevas 16-20 son los primeros en Yungang. Su iconografía es incierto, sobre todo porque el esquema general de las cuevas puede haber alterado a mediados de curso, entre las tres cuevas originales (18-20) y dos adiciones posteriores ligeramente (16-17). Estas cuevas son a menudo llamados los Cinco Tanyao, después de la poderosa Monk Tanyao, que supervisó su construcción en su calidad de supervisor de todo el clero budista imperial equipadas. De manera significativa, Tanyao procedía de la terminal de Gansu de la ruta de la seda, y por lo tanto fue bien posicionada para importar la arquitectura religiosa de Dunhuang a esta nueva obra de la dinastía Wei del Norte. Varios estudiosos han identificado los cinco budas Tanyao con emperadores Wei del Norte (comparación de la emperatriz Wu Fengxian Si en Longmen), Dhyani Budas, e incluso el campo de Buda Vairocana (por John Huntington). Los observadores contemporáneos probablemente habrían aceptado todas estas asociaciones, a pesar de sus contradicciones teóricas .

China: The Longmen Grottoes, A UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Longmen Grottoes are also referred to as Dragon Gate Grottoes. There are over 2,000 caves and niches and more than 100,000 Buddhist images. There are sculptures, inscriptions and carvings everywhere, but I've got to tell it like it is. I liked Datong better. Perhaps, because of the colors still remaining on the Buddhist statues and in the caves.
Western souvenir hunters decapitated whatever they could in days gone by and the Cultural Revolution managed to destroy much of the remaining art. I'd still visit if you are in this area and make up your own mind...

China Travel Attractions - Visit the Longmen Grottoes
Take a tour of Longmen Grottoes in China -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
Nestled in the mountains in Henan province, and parted by the river Yi, are the famous Longmen Grottoes.
They are considered by many to be one of the most acclaimed and prominent ancient sculptural sites of the country.
Thousands of statues, pagodas, niches and tablets can be found in the more than 2,100 grottoes situated here.
Built over a period of more than 400 years, The Northern Wei and Tang Dynasties, were the primary beneficiaries of this illustrious site.
The beautifully carved Buddha, Bodhisattvas and Arhats' statues found here lend an enchanting aura to this isolated haven.
This site is exemplar of ancient Buddhist cave art, and also of the unique carving and aesthetic styles characteristic of various dynasties.
Longmen Grottoes China / Grottes de Longmen Chine 龙门石窟
The Longmen Grottoes (simplified Chinese: 龙门石窟; traditional Chinese: 龍門石窟; pinyin: lóngmén shíkū; lit. Dragon's Gate Grottoes) or Longmen Caves are one of the finest examples of Chinese Buddhist art. Housing tens of thousands of statues of Buddha and his disciples, they are located 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) south of present day Luòyáng in Hénán province, China. The images, many once painted, were carved into caves excavated from the limestone cliffs of the Xiangshan and Longmenshan mountains, running east and west. The Yi River flows northward between them and the area used to be called Yique (The Gate of the Yi River).[1][2][3] The alternative name of Dragon's Gate Grottoes derives from the resemblance of the two hills that check the flow of the Yi River to the typical Chinese gate towers that once marked the entrance to Luoyang from the south.[4]
There are as many as 100,000 statues within the 1,400 caves, ranging from an 1 inch (25 mm) to 57 feet (17 m) in height. The area also contains nearly 2,500 stelae and inscriptions, whence the name “Forest of Ancient Stelae, as well as over sixty Buddhist pagodas. Situated in a scenic natural environment, the caves were dug from a 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) stretch of cliff running along both banks of the river. 30% date from the Northern Wei Dynasty and 60% from the Tang, caves from other periods accounting for less than 10% of the total.[3] Starting with the Northern Wei Dynasty in 493 AD, patrons and donors included emperors, Wu Zetian of the Second Zhou Dynasty, members of the royal family, other rich families, generals, and religious groups.[1][5]
In 2000 the site was inscribed upon the UNESCO World Heritage List as “an outstanding manifestation of human artistic creativity,” for its perfection of an art form, and for its encapsulation of the cultural sophistication of Tang China.

Les grottes de Longmen (chinois : 龍門石窟 ; pinyin : lóngmén shíkū ; littéralement les grottes de la Porte du Dragon) se trouvent à 12 kilomètres au sud de la moderne Luoyang dans la province de Henan en Chine. Ces grottes bouddhistes ont été excavées dans le calcaire après 494 et, pour l'essentiel, jusqu'au Xe siècle. Elles sont densément présentes sur les deux côtés d'une gorge entre deux montagnes, Xiang Shan (à l'est) et Longmen Shan (à l'ouest). La rivière Yihe (ou Yi he : rivière Yi) qui s'écoule vers le nord y a creusé son lit. La gorge a servi de « porte » à la ville voisine. Pour cette raison, l'endroit était appelé Yique (porte de la rivière Yi). Du nord au sud, les grottes se succèdent sur environ un kilomètre. Avec les grottes de Mogao et les grottes de Yungang, les grottes de Longmen sont l'un des trois plus célèbres sites de sculpture ancienne de Chine.

A Visit To Shanxi (China ) Hanging Monastiries 2012-0021
Buddhist Monastery Engineering Marvels
Built into a cliff (75 m or 246 ft above the ground) in Shanxi province ,
the Hanging Monastery was built more than 1,500 years ago.
The monastery buildings consist of four main temples
and residential shelters designed by adapting to the rock (granite) ledges
and eight caves.
All the buildings are interconnected
through steps and stairways made in rocks.
There are a few rickety wooden bridges along the paths
and stairways also to cross over.
The temple at the highest level has a frieze of Buddha.
Each building has a balcony,
which provides lovely views of the scenic Paro valley.
The temple was constructed
by drilling holes
into the cliff side
and inserting crossbeams halfway
to serve as the foundation.
