Just so so amazing. Huge. 800 years old. The paint was applied 100 years ago. The grottoes are deep in a forested area loud with cicadas. The golden Goddess of Mercy has 1007 hands with an eye on each one. The reclining Buddha is 100 feet long.
Oh wow oh wow.
Angie, what a magical and well-deserved trip you are having.
The beauty is potent and inspiring. Good pictures!
