There are still 16 grottoes, more than 4,000 statues, the grottoes are chiselled in the best stone rocks of Gushan with beautiful mountains and clear waters and beautiful environment. The grottoes are deep, and people can make a loud echo when they hit their palms and shake their sleeves in the cave, so they are called "Xiangtang". Xiangtangshan grottoes are divided into north and south, about 15 kilometers apart. Because the grottoes are on the mountainside, people can talk and laugh, roll their sleeves, and walk around, and make a sound of echoes, and spread the name of Tangshan Grottoes.

The neglected Beiqi Royal Fine Grottoes. Premier Zhou lamented that it was a national treasure, and Mr. Liang Sicheng hand-rehearsed ancient buildings. There are also many exquisite Beiqi stone Buddha heads that were stolen and sold abroad. I hope everyone will pay attention to and discover its beauty.

I like humanistic travel. Although the Xiangtangshan Grottoes are mostly damaged, it is still very shocking. The prosperity of the national strength and the piety of the people can create beautiful treasures. Although it is a pity that the loss is a lot of time and energy to pursue. Protecting the present, inheriting the culture is the most important thing now! The country must be rich and strong! !

Xiangtang Mountain is divided into north and south grottoes. The north grottoes are larger in area and better maintained. It feels that the south grottoes are more exquisite. The ticket price is a bit high, the traffic is convenient, and the stone statues are exquisite and worth seeing.
