Judging from the age inscriptions and artistic styles preserved in the grottoes, this magnificent art project is basically a relic of the Northern Wei Dynasty, with a history of 1500 years. Yungang Grottoes were excavated in the middle of Northern Wei Dynasty. The Northern Wei Dynasty experienced "too martial to destroy Buddha" and "restoration method". During Wen Chengdi's peacetime (460-465), Yungang Grottoes began to be built on a large scale, and it was completed in the fifth year of Xiaoming Zheng Guang (524), counting more than 60 years. According to documents, during the peaceful years of the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 460-465), Yao Tan, a famous monk, presided over the excavation of five grottoes in Wuzhousai (Pingcheng, now Datong) in the western suburbs of Beijing, namely the existing 16 to 20 grottoes in Yungang, which was the earliest so-called "Tan Yao grottoes" at that time. Most of the other major caves were completed before Emperor Xiaowen moved to Luoyang in the 18th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 494). More than 40,000 people took part in the excavation. At that time, Buddhists in the lion country (now Sri Lanka) also participated in this world-famous great artistic creation. There are 53 existing caves, the highest is 17 meters, and the smallest is only a few centimeters. Yungang Grottoes are famous for their magnificent momentum, rich content and fine carving. Li Daoyuan, an ancient geographer, described it like this in the Notes on Water Classics: "Because of the rock structure, it is really huge and powerful, which is rare in the world. Shantang, Shuitang and Yandian are opposite. " This is a true portrayal of the magnificent scenery of the grottoes at that time. Mount Hengshan in Beiyue, located in Hunyuan, Datong City, Shanxi Province, is a world-famous Taoist mountain.

It is bordered by Yanmenguan in the west, Taihang Mountain in the east, Sanjin in the south and Yunan and Daizhou in the north. It is vast, desolate and majestic. Tianfengling and Cuiping Peak are the east and west peaks of the main peak of Hengshan Mountain. The two peaks face each other, and the green belt on the cliff is clear and picturesque. Guolaoling, Gusaoyan, Fei Grottoes, Yuanhuan Cave, Hufengkou and Daziwan are all full of magical colors. Hanging pine, purple rain and bitter sweet well are miracles in the natural landscape. Bitter sweet well is located in the middle of Hengshan Mountain range. The two wells are only one meter apart, but the water quality is completely different. A well is sweet and cold, called a sweet well; The other well is bitter and unpalatable. Sweet wells are several feet deep, but they are inexhaustible and can be used by thousands of people.

The summit of Yuntai is as flat as a platform in a cloud.
