Today, I went to the Hanging/Suspended Monastery/Temple and to the Yungang Grottoes.

The Hanging/Suspended Monastery/Temple was built in the VII century on a mountainside at 50m height.
It is unique in China.
It is located 65km east of Datong.
It was really impressive.

The Yungang Grottoes present the first traces of Buddhist sculpture in China.
There are about twenty grottoes with Buddha inside.
It is located 16 km west of Datong.
It was really wonderful.

Tomorrow, I'm going to walk in the streets of Datong.
