Tongtian Rock Grotto (Tongtian Yan Shiku)

Tongtian Rock Grotto is situated about 6 miles north­west of Ganzhou City. Con­structed during the Tang Dynasty, it reached its peak in the Song Dynasty.There are 359 figurines carved in the grotto from both the Tang and the Song dynas­ties, along with 128 inscrip­tions dating from the Song Dynasty to the Republic of China. At present the grotto consists of Wanggui Rock (Wanggui Yan), Tongxin Rock (Tongxin Yan), Tong­tian Rock (Tongtian Yan), and Cuiwei Rock (Cuiwei Yan). On the cliffside of the grotto there are figurines and inscriptions, which make the spot look like an open-air museum. Tongtian Rock has been a famous mountain for Buddhists ever since the Tang and Song dynasties.
