Xiangtangshan Caves
The Xiangtangshan Caves are Buddhist cave temples near Handan in Hebei province, China. They were carved in the mid-6th century under the Northern Qi dynasty, whose emperors kept a residence nearby, and contain large sculptures of the Buddha in a fuller, rounded style. Many heads and reliefs were cut away and sold abroad in the early 20th century and are now in museums in Europe and North America.
