En las afueras de Datong, las grutas de Yungang esconden más de 1.000 cuevas con esculturas de Budas en su interior (algunas de ellas aún conservan incluso los colores) y 52 grutas con estatuas increíbles budistas llegando a tener algunas más de 16 metros de altura. Por algo este lugar ha sido declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco. Son como unos grandes almacenes al aire libre donde vas viendo escaparates sin ventana de budas y budas sin parar, siendo capaz de imaginarte toda la historia que pasa tras ellos. En total, hay más de 51.000 estatuas de Buda, unas gigantes, otras medianas, y diminutas.

Big buddhas, carved caves & ancient artists - The Yungang Grottoes 云岗石窟
During the Northern Wei dynasty Datong was declared their capital and buddhism was developed from a minority religion to a major following. In the course of this expansion, the construction of these buddhist caves commenced in 460 A.D. and continued for more than 65 years. It can be seperated in three building phases: while the first phase was led by the monch Tan Yao who led the contruction of the five biggest caves, the second wave is remarkable for its twin and triplet caves. The third phase focussed on smaller caves and niches in which statues of buddha and other religious entities reside.
