What travelers say:

Yungang Grottoes (Yungang Grottoes), formerly known as Lingyan Temple and Shifo Temple. It is located in the south of Wuzhou Mountain, 17 kilometers from the western suburbs of Datong City, Shanxi Province. It is one of the famous grottoes in China. The opening of Yungang Grottoes began in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital from Shengle to Pingcheng (now Datong City), and Wuzhou Mountain became the traffic rush between Shengle and Pingcheng. After the reign of Wen Cheng Emperor, Shamen Tongxu presided over the restoration of the law. With the support of Wen Cheng Emperor, Yuan chose the Wuzhou Mountain, which is beautiful in Zhong Lingxuan, "chising the stone walls of the mountain, opening five caves, Yuan Jian Buddha statues, the taller 70 feet, the next 60 feet, carved Qiwei, crowned in the first world."
