Longmen Grottoes located in the south of Luoyang City are between Mount Xiang and Mount Longmen and face Yi River. As one of the three most famous treasure houses of stone inscriptions in China. The grottoes were started around the year of 494 since the capital was moved to Luoyang. Work on them continued for another 400 years until the Northern Song Dynasty. The first caves of Longmen were excavated in 494. The grottoes extend for 1, 094 yards from north to south. They contain over 2, 300 holes & niches, 2, 800 steles, 40 stupas, 1, 300 caves and 97, 000 sculptured figures that have survived the test of time. Most of these works date from the Northern Wei Dynasty and the flourishing age of the Tang Dynasty.
