Touch 1,500 Years of Yungang Grottoes in Shanghai Without Flying to Shanxi

The Yungang Grottoes from the textbooks have come to Shanghai~ The pinnacle of Buddhist art left by the Northern Wei Dynasty 🙏🏻 🦱 Must-see exhibition 👉🏻 Buddha head of Cave 20: the most iconic image of Yungang, solemn and magnificent 👉🏻 Western standing Buddha, reborn after a thousand years through digital technology 👉🏻 Northern Wei Buddha head fragments and scripture rubbings, all authentic 🚩 Outdoor + indoor dual exhibition areas Outdoor Music Cave → QuKan Art Museum indoor → Light and Shadow Hall → Cultural and Creative Area ① Outdoor exhibition area (Jinchao Lane 8) 1:1 3D printed Cave 12 "Music Cave." Although it is a replica, the restored details are very good. The celestial musicians have varied expressions, truly "China’s earliest court symphony orchestra." This close-up experience is amazing since even visiting Shanxi doesn’t allow such proximity. ② Indoor exhibition area (QuKan Art Museum) is divided into four units: "Transformation," "Craftsmanship," "Light and Breath," and "Yearning." Besides the 3D glasses experience, the 30-minute light and shadow show is a must-see, with laser engraving recreating the grotto carving scenes, done very well. 💡 Name: Sea of Clouds Gazing — Yungang Grottoes Art Special Exhibition ⏰ Exhibition period: until March 26, 2026 🚗 Location: Jinchao Lane 8, Hongkou District + QuKan Art Museum 🕰️ Time: Daily 10:00 AM - 9:30 PM
