Tiantishan Grottoes
The Tiantishan Grottoes are Buddhist cave temples near Wuwei in Gansu province, north-western China. They were begun in the early 5th century under the Northern Liang ruler Juqu Mengxun and are among the earliest Buddhist cave temples in China. Many of their sculptures and murals were moved to the Gansu Provincial Museum when a reservoir was built below the caves in the 1950s.
