I rarely use the word "stunning" to describe a place.

To see the "No. 1 Grotto in Jiangnan," I traveled hundreds of kilometers to Shunchang County, Fujian Province, and finally found the "Hezhangyan Grottoes." When I entered the stone cave, I was stunned: There are tens of thousands of Buddha statues in various shapes, the tallest is 19 meters, and the smallest is only 2 centimeters. Each stone carving is lifelike❗️ 🌟About Hezhangyan The Hezhangyan Grottoes were built in 2003, with a total length of more than 600 meters. It is still under construction. All the tens of thousands of Buddha statues are carved by hand. Many of the stone carving masters are from Quanzhou, and their skills are exquisite. The number of Buddha statues will reach 100,000 in the future. The grottoes are so large that they are known as the "No. 1 Grotto in Jiangnan"🪨 It is recommended to visit for about 2 hours, take your time to visit and take photos.
