2011-04-17 Entrance to a cave temple at the Yungang Grottoes


Image by Pondspider
We spent a day in and around Datong and the highlight was the morning spent at the Yungang Grottoes.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site has "252 grottoes with more than 51,000 Buddha statues and statuettes" according to Wikipedia and we can believe it!

Apparently they were carved between 465 and 525AD. Serious efforts are now underway to slow 1500 years of weathering.

We really came to appreciate the problems China has with dust blowing in from Mongolia during this day. The dust was everywhere. The wind picked up in the middle of the day and the sky had that slight tint of orange I had seen on pictures of Beijing’s dust storms. Very cold on Bethan’s ankles!

Datong itself is a coal mining town with very little else to merit a visit but it probably shows just how the majority of the Chinese population live.

Old Arms Factory Bao’an Shenzhen

So I’ve managed to get inside the courtyard for this second visit. I just walked passed the security confidently and they just stood and looked at me. Typically as there are many companies in this factory now they wont know who are staff so there are no ID badges for them to check. First picture I took was of these Courtyard loading bays.

I remember when this first happened. Taking my camera out of an air conditioned room and having the humidity cause condensation on the lens. Still, got an unexpected effect on the picture.
