Feilaifeng Grottoes, Buddhist sculpture series at Lingyin Temple area, Hangzhou, China.

The Feilaifeng Grottoes contain more than 300 stone carvings embedded within natural limestone cliffs, featuring Buddhist figures and religious scenes.

The site's development began during the Tang Dynasty in the 7th century and continued through multiple dynasties, resulting in varied artistic styles.

These Buddhist rock carvings represent different religious interpretations and artistic techniques, displaying the evolution of Chinese Buddhist art across centuries.

Visitors can purchase combined admission tickets for both Feilaifeng Grottoes and Lingyin Temple at the main entrance of the scenic area.

Each carved figure in the grottoes maintains its original stone color and texture, with no added paint or modifications since creation.
