Longman Grottoes

I am trying to get some more pics up for your viewing pleasure. Here are some shots from the Longman Grottoes. This is mountainside which has buddha's carved throughout, all different sizes and shapes. Many of the smaller buddha's have their faces smashed due to the upheaval during the Cultural Revolution after Mao came into power - a sad consequence, and many other entire buddha's were stolen by thieves and plundering armies throughout the years. All is protected now, and it all adds to the historical significance of the site.
