Introduction to Yuanguang Temple: Most of the grottoes near Yuanguang Temple were excavated in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (557-581). Among them, caves 45 and 46 each have more than 40 statues 6 to 7 meters high, and there are Buddhas in the niches. Most of them are one Buddha and two Bodhisattvas, and are beautifully carved. In addition, there are various small Buddhas on the forehead of the niche, musicians holding various musical instruments under the niche, and flying reliefs flying around the tower pillars on the top of the cave. It is really a dazzling array of things.
