Located16 km from Datong this remarkable concentration of Buddhist statues includes some 50,000 statues, some protected completely within about 50 caves. Initial work to create this artistic marvel began a bit more than 1500 years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ubicado a 16 km de Datong, esta notable concentraci\u00f3n de estatuas budistas incluye unas 50,000 estatuas, algunas protegidas completamente dentro de aproximadamente 50 cuevas. El trabajo inicial para crear esta maravilla art\u00edstica comenz\u00f3 un poco m\u00e1s de 1500 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is considered to be among the three most significant concentrations of Buddhist statues in China. (The other two are the Mogao Grottoes near Dunhuang in Gansu province [been there!], and Longmen grottoes near Luoyang in Hennan province [yep, there too!])<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Se considera que se encuentra entre las tres concentraciones m\u00e1s significativas de estatuas budistas en China. (\u00a1Los otros dos son las grutas de Mogao cerca de Dunhuang en la provincia de Gansu [\u00a1He estado all\u00ed!], Y “Grutas de la Puerta del Drag\u00f3n” cerca de Luoyang en la provincia de Hennan [S\u00ed, all\u00ed tambi\u00e9n!])<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After visiting the grottoes, it was time to head back to Datong to visit some other great things including a “Nine Dragon Screen”, a temple or two, and the old city wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despu\u00e9s de visitar las grutas, fue hora de regresar a Datong para visitar otras cosas importantes, incluida una “Pantalla Dragon”, un templo o dos, y la antigua muralla de la ciudad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
