After a nice steep 15 minute walk we finally made it ti the entrance to the caves. At first, you don't see much until you get in front of the gigantic and impressive cliff; These buddhist sculptures and carvings were carved out of the mountain in the beginning of the 6th century until the 11th. They are well preserved and still show colors. We loved the elegant style of the Bodhisatva position, clothes and jewelry. We loved the back caves with their most intimate atmosphere. A must see excursion ! Après une marche de 15 minutes sur les pentes un peu raides de la montagne, nous sommes arrivés à l'entrée des grottes. D'abord, la paroi de la falaise se courbe pour accueillir un cortège de divinités. Puis c'est l'arc impressionnant du Bodhisatva qui s'offre à notre regard. Quelle élégance dans la pose et quelle délicatesse dans la sculpture des vêtements et des bijoux ! Derrière d'autres grottes, toujours polychromes et plus intimes offrent la représentation d'arhats et de divinités. Incontournable !

The carving are very well preserved and in stunning condition. It's in Anyue County in East SiChuan, so it's not the easiest place to get to. We took a private car and although the journey was straightforward, some of the roads were in really bad condition.
