What travelers say:

After more than an hour's drive, but still five kilometers of mountain dirt road. Occasionally cars roared past, the dust swarmed on the body, and the cockroaches couldn't fall off. The freshly washed clothes were heavy and gray. "This road will not be easy," I thought silently, "even in this wilderness, beauty is difficult to stay alone for a long time" is very close, and I can see one or two pavilions from a distance. Surrounded by the barren, quiet, the knocking sound of the Northern Wei has not been able to walk through time to this day. It is hard to imagine how people had picked up such ingenuity and chiseled such exquisite works in this mountain 1,500 years ago. I finally saw the face of the grottoes after turning the last corner and climbing a few steps, but I did not see the magnificent and stunning grottoes that I expected. It is more like ruins, with a lonely and wolverine. On the cave, it is written with a big thinness, but not a thin thinness of bone, but a thin thinness of bone, a thin thinness of bone. According to the grotto administrator, the Wanfoshan grotto has experienced many destructions and is no longer like it. The gonggu cave of the monastery, only the huge central square tower columns lingered, the remaining Buddha statues in the south flashed out, so that people could measure it from the sky. The original carved and carved Buddhas in the temple were missing. The big Buddhas of the upper temples were missing their arms and their faces were blurred. The two Buddhas were also left on their upper bodies, and many small Buddhas were missing their heads. There were thousands of small Buddha statues on the rock wall above the Lotus Cave, but they were blown up in the later Kaishan to take. Quarrying became the most color-changing word in Wanfoshan. Quarryers visited them throughout the dynasties and dynasties, and processed them into drum stones, lotus pillars, or town tomb beasts and town house stone lions. The faint chisel axes of the scorpion played a deep and long lament, a little bit of it nibbled away the original appearance of the Wanfoshan Grottoes. But in the ruins of the scattered, something attracted my attention. It was a large number of very rare and exquisite "Buddha Tu". The discovery of these patterns almost filled the two dents of the Longmen Grottoes with the lack of heart-warming. In addition, the lotus flower algae well on the east side of the double cave in the temple was changed to a Taiji map made up of yin and yang fish, which is said to be painted by the late Qing Taoists, which coincides with Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and Longmen Guyang Cave. This magical operation of changing and "Buddhist Change" is really amazing. There is also a lion next to the bhikuni on the north wall of this cave, with thin bones and a figure similar to a lying cat, which is quite interesting. I heard that I had to walk a few kilometers down the mountain, and the young man who cared for the grotto came out on a motorcycle and insisted on taking me a ride. On the way, I learned that he was a Buddhist, gave up the opportunity to work in the city, and volunteered to stay to protect the treasure trove left by the old ancestors. Not long after, the motorcycle suddenly entered the station, he insisted on accompanying me until the long-distance bus arrived. In this remote mountain, some Buddha statues lacked their heads, some lacked their faces, but piety and kindness were completely preserved. Beauty is indeed accidental, but it doesn't matter for a long time, as long as it is enough to touch the people's hearts in an instant.
