Yungang is very good to visit in combination with Wutai
Mountain and Pinyao Ancient city.
All these places are found in shanxi province China. We run tours
to these places daily.
They are all Unesco World Heritage and very special foor world culture.
Yungang’s grottoes are around a site that is a park and can be visited be all age groups.
It is also suitable for children. The demonstration of Buddhist Art is exceptional and a true
testament to tthe strength of this religion at that period in Chinese history.
