It is more than 1 kilometer long from north to south, and there are still 2,345 grottoes, more than 100,000 statues, and over 2,800 inscriptions and records, making a significant contribution to the innovation and development of Chinese grotto art.

Very convenient. There are many restaurants in the scenic area.
