There are over 50 caves with over 50,000 well-preserved Buddhist statues from the 5th century.
Breathtaking site and grottos, though it is recommended to read up on the history and grottos / watch documentaries before going to grasp the uniqueness and depth of the site. Signage boards only provide limited information and the Museum is currently closed due to Covid. If you speak Mandarin, you could also respectfully ask the friendly security staff in the grottos for explanations. They are very knowledgeable and deserve credit for their willingness to share.

Consisting of five high plateaus, this area is one of China's four sacred Buddhist Mountains.
What a area, temples verywhere with old history. If you are fancy about buddhism or hirtory of China this is place for you. At this area can easily spent a days just look at different temples at different altitude.

The Hukou Waterfall is the second largest waterfall in China and the largest on the legendary Yellow River. As a result it is often claimed that this is "the only yellow waterfall in the world." It is right on the border between Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. The 300-meter wide Yellow River suddenly narrows and is forced violently through a 20-meter-wide gorge before falling turbently as a waterfall. As with the other applications I've submitted, I'd be happy to provide a major write up should you wish to give this a listing. On another note, I would suggest you consider reorganizing the categories of your listings for Shanxi. Listing them completely by counties doesn't really make sense. I'd be happy to make an alternative suggestion if you'd like. (Heather Pickerell, alias ShanxiFan)
It took over 5 hours from Xian to Hukou waterfall by coach bus. There were so many people there and you can have a very nice and close view of the waterfall, which is really impressive. From where you stand to look at the waterfall, you can see people from Shanxi province on the other side of the Yellow River.
