Construction vehicles work the ground at the Longmen Grottoes near Luoyang in Henan Province, China. Situated along both banks of the Yi River, the site s numerous caves and niches house thousands of Buddhist statues carved from the stone cliffs. Longmen s works including nearly 3,000 inscriptions were carved during the late Northern Wei and early Tang dynasties, with the earliest carvings dating to the late fifth century.
