Tianlongshan Grottoes Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Tianlong Mountain Grottoes are located on the mountainside of Tianlong Mountain, 40 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan City. Tianlong Mountain was formerly known as Fangshan Mountain. After the Tianlong Temple was built at the foot of the mountain in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the mountain was called Tianlong Mountain. It used to be the summer palace of Gao Huan, the father of the Northern Qi Emperor Gao Yang. Tianlong Mountain has beautiful scenery, surrounded by undulating mountains, lush pines and cypresses, rippling springs in Longwang Stone Cave on the top of the mountain, and clear streams in front of the mountain. The Tianlongshan Grottoes are distributed on the cliff waist of the east and west peaks of Tianlong Mountain. There are 24 caves excavated in the Eastern Wei, Northern Qi, Sui and Tang Dynasties, eight caves in the east peak, thirteen caves in the west peak, and three caves in the north of the mountain. There are more than 1,500 statues in the coexisting grottoes, and 1,144 relief sculptures, caisson wells and portraits. The Tianlongshan Grottoes are characterized by their mature, full, succinct and meticulous expression of emotions, which are close to the life of laborers.

The service is very good, the national treasure is worth our good protection. During May 1st, free rides from Jinci to Tianlong Mountain, and private cars cannot be able to go up to Tianlong Mountain elevated. Most of the Buddha heads in the grottoes were looted by ghosts, and the big ones were dug out of their eyes. The eighth cave Buddha head returned is now on display at Guobao Station, which is worth a visit. It is recommended to take the bus to the penultimate stop Tianlongshan Station. It is not tired to walk down the mountain, and then take the bus back after watching the exhibition at Guobao Station.
The grotto art of the East Wei, Beiqi and Sui and Tang Dynasties is pleasing to the eye. The catastrophe of 100 years ago is shocking. Modern digital technology makes the classic reappearance. This attraction is full of colorful and must not be missed.
Cultural trip, beautiful scenery, fresh air
2000 plane tickets, even if you only see a grotto, it is worth the trip
Worth seeing, very good 👌🏻
