    While absorbing and borrowing from the Indian Gandhara Buddhist art, the Yungang Grottoes carving organically integrates the traditional Chinese art style, and has a very important position in the history of world sculpture art. Today, it has become a tourist attraction admired and longed for by Chinese and foreign tourists, Yungang Grottoes (national key cultural relics protection unit), one of the three major grottoes in China, and a world-famous art treasure house.

The grotto is located in the undulating low mountain and hilly area, with an altitude of 1133 1178 meters, and the maximum height difference between the sandstone lens of the grotto and the Shili River is about 30 meters.

    The landform types can be divided into two major geomorphological units: the tectonic denudation of the high platform at the top of the Yungang Grottoes, the low hills and the erosion and accumulation terraces of the Shili River Valley, among which the latter can be divided into river alluvial and modern river alluvial and residual slope layers according to the genesis.

    The alluvial deposits are mainly distributed on the high platform of the paleochannel in the north of Yungang Grottoes, and belong to the alluvial deposits at the edge of the paleochannel and the alluvial deposits of the paleobed facies. In modern times, river alluvium and slope alluvium are mainly distributed on the first-class terrace of Pifuhu in the south of Yungang Grottoes and north of Shili River.

    Yungang Grottoes was built in the era of Pingcheng (now Datong) in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Different from the Luoyang Jisan Longmen Grottoes excavated in the later period, the Yungang Grottoes not only have traditional Chinese art style, but also integrate the artistic characteristics of ancient India, the Western Regions and the Huzi ethnic groups in the Central Plains. The representative is the high-meter open-air seated statue of Shakya in Cave 20 (White Buddha Cave), which is still intact above the chest

    The face is semi-round, with deep eyes and high nose, big eyes and thin lips, and it retains the typical facial features of ethnic minorities and Indians in the Western Regions. The big Buddha in the Longmen Grottoes is already close to the appearance of the Southern Dynasty scholars. The clothing lines of the seated statue of Shakya in Yungang are not as soft as those of the Longmen Grottoes, but they reveal the ability of the early art of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

    Yungang Grottoes Scenic Area is divided into landscape area and grotto group, the whole grotto group is divided into east, middle and west three areas according to the natural mountain situation from east to west, there are about 40 caves open to the outside world at present, the more traditional visit route is to start from the first cave in the east, and then go west until the end of the 45th cave.
