Yungang Grottoes
Taken at the Yungang Grottoes outside Datong city (China's "coal country"), at the southern foot of Wuzhou Mountain. This statue was carved out the earth by some crazy monk craftsmen about 1,500 years ago. In December 2001, the 25th meeting of UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Helsinki, Finland, passed a decision to list this site on the World Cultural Heritage List.
