Yungang Grottos was first build during 453 AD and lasted 30 years. It best displays the links between politics and religion. Hosting more than 50,000 Buddhist statues, Yungang Grottos are a silent testament to the thwarted ambition of Emperor Xiaowen. It remains as proof of the efforts of a small ethnic minority to display their once formidable power and their ambition to rule the vast territory of China.
