visits:
The Yungang Grottoes, The Nine-Dragon Sreen, The Hanging Monastery,
Shanhua Monastery.
->
The Yungang Grottoes: : With their 252 caves and 51,000 statues, the
grottoes represent the outstanding achievement of Buddhist cave art in China
in the 5th and 6th centuries. The Five Caves
created by Tan Yao, with their strict unity of layout and design,
constitute a classical masterpiece of the first peak of Chinese Buddhist art.
->
The Nine-Dragon Sreen: Shanxi Province, is said to be the largest screen of its type anywhere in
China. It is 45.5 meters (150 feet) long, 8 meters (26 feet) high and 2.02
(6.6 feet) meters thick and consists of 426 pieces of glazed tiles.
->
The Hanging Monastery: How could a building like this withstand the
winds and storms of so many years? Hanging Monastery is an architectural
wonder. A unique mechanical theory was applied to building the
framework. Crossbeams were half-inserted into the rock as the
foundation, while the rock in back became its support. Seen from below,
Hanging Monastery appears to be a tumble-down castle in the air. Inside,
Hanging Monastery appears the same as other temples.
->
Shanhua Monastery : located in central Datong within the old city walls. It was first constructed during the Tang
dynasty (618-907AD) though most of the present wooden building dates
back to the 12th century. The temple houses some intricately carved Jin
dynasty (265-420AD) statues and has a screen wall decorated with dragons.
