#Wangmuugong Grottoes Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Gansu Jingchuan Wangmu Palace Grottoes
Wangmu Palace Grottoes, also known as the Great Buddha Cave (also known as the Thousand Buddha Cave), was established in the third year of Yongping of the Northern Wei Dynasty (510 AD).
Wangmu Palace Grottoes are carved on a gray sandy rock layer, which is a central pillar grotto, the largest central pillar cave in Longdong Grottoes. On May 25, 2006, Wangmu Palace Grottoes were announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. The cave type and statue style of Wangmu Palace Grottoes are similar to those of the central pillar caves in the second phase of Yungang, which is a typical example of the influence of the Yungang model to the west. Wangmu Palace Grottoes face east to the west, 11 meters high, 12.6 meters wide, and 13 meters deep. The front wall has been destroyed, and the late Qing Dynasty buildings in front of the cave still exist. There are more than 200 images of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Heavenly Kings, Arhats, and strong rib servants on the north, west, and south walls and the four sides of the central pillar in the cave.
