HFF …Bingling Temple grottoes

These we visited recently in Linxia in China. Difficult of access, it is relatively quiet and still mercifully undeveloped as a tourist site. It was quiet and spectacular. The wooden ladders and fences are a work in progress about the grottoes and caves.

Bingling Temple Grottoes, also called Binglingsi Grottoes or Bingling Thousand-Buddha Caves, is a 1600-year-old site on Yellow River with 183 caves and niches, 694 stone statues, 82 clay sculptures, and 900 square meters of murals. On June 22, 2014, Bingling Temple grottoes were successfully included in the world heritage list as a site of the "Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor".

It is inevitable to make a comparison with the sadly destroyed Buddhas of Bamiyan.
Kind regards, Anton.
