The sheer number and size of these statues takes your breath away. Never seen anything like it. Well worth the visit.

Great tour of these sites. The Grottoes were our favourite - not to be missed. Our guide was excellent, he spoke good english and was very helpful. Only down for this tour was the price - very expensive for a day tour. We did other tours in China and none were anywhere near the price of this one.
