CAVE21-45 (494-525 A.D.)

The caves in the west section of the Yungang Grotto site vary greatly in style, such as those with three niches, those with niches in two layers or those with thousands of little tiny niches as well as those in a temple style with a pagoda-shaped pillar in the centre. The statues, characterized by their slim appearance, show a strong style of the Han nationality. The acrrobatic performances are carved in relief on the lower part of the north wall of cave 38.
