Millennium Ancient Charm — Taiyuan Unearthed Buddhist Statue Stone Carving Exhibition

Historical Background The grotto statue art in the Taiyuan area is concentrated from the Eastern Wei to the Tang Dynasty. During this period, Buddhism was widely spread in northern China. Grottoes, as an important carrier of Buddhist art, vividly demonstrated society’s high regard for and active promotion of Buddhism. The excavation and carving of related grottoes were strongly supported by the royal family and local officials, fully highlighting the significant influence of Buddhist art in political and social fields. The exhibition focuses on stone carvings and statues from the Tianlongshan Grottoes, Longshan Grottoes, and the Tongzi Temple site from the Eastern Wei, Northern Qi, and Tang Dynasties. 🚗【Practical Travel Guide】 📍Address: Tianlongshan Grottoes Museum (inside the Cultural and Creative Arts Center) ⏰Opening Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (park closes at 4:30 PM) 🎫Tickets: Tianlongshan Scenic Area ticket 50 RMB (free admission for the Millennium Ancient Charm exhibition alone) 🚌Transportation: Take the Y1 tourist shuttle from the south gate of Jinci Park (first bus at 9:00 AM, every 15 minutes / last return bus at 5:00 PM) 🚗Self-driving: National Treasure Return Hall ⌛Exhibition Viewing Time: 30 minutes 💡Tips: You can get a Little Monster stamp book of Langlang Mountain at the entrance~
