China: Copies of the Longmen Giant Buddhas, Oriental Buddha Park, Lingyun Shan (Towering Cloud Hill), Leshan, Sichuan Province

The real Longmen Grottoes or Longmen Caves are located 12 km south of present day Luòyáng in Hénán province, China. The grottoes, which overwhelmingly depict Buddhist subjects, are densely dotted along the two mountains: Xiangshan (to the east) and Longmenshan (to the west).
