Ancient Cliff Walkways

Ancient cliff walkways at the Longmen Grottoes follow the limestone cliffs where Buddhist caves and carvings were created. These paths allow visitors to move safely along the rock face while viewing sculptures at close range. Walking these routes reveals how artisans accessed the cliffs during carving periods. The walkways also provide continuous views of statues, reliefs, and the Yi River below. For travelers, the ancient cliff walkways offer an immersive way to experience the scale and layout of the Longmen Grottoes.
