http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com The premier sight of Datong is the Yungang Grottoes, also known as Cloud Ridge Caves. They represent the outstanding achievement of Buddhist cave art in China during the 5th and 6th centuries. They are divided into three main groups: early caves; caves with Yungang art; and caves carved in 460 AD. A most definite "don't miss" experience.
