Xiaonanhai Grottoes, Buddhist cave temples in Anyang County, China
The Xiaonanhai Grottoes contain multiple carved caves featuring intricate Buddhist sculptures and artistic elements representing ancient Chinese craftsmanship.
These cave temples were constructed during a period spanning from the fifth to the tenth century along important trade routes in ancient China.
The grottoes display a collection of Buddhist statues, wall paintings, and architectural designs that reflect the religious practices of medieval Chinese society.
