Yungang Grottoes in Datong, Shanxi Province were mainly built in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The overall shape and style of Yungang Grottoes and Longmen Grottoes are actually quite different. Although both of them are dominated by Buddhism, Yungang Grottoes not only embody the traditional art of China, but also combine the comprehensive characteristics of ancient India and the western regions, with artistic characteristics. Yungang Grottoes can be divided into landscape areas and caves. If tourists visit them, Bian Xiao personally suggests going to the caves, so that they can browse the whole picture of each cave group one by one.
