Housing tens of thousands of statues of Shakyamuni Buddha and his disciples, they are located 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) south of present-day Luoyang in Henan province, China. The images, many once painted, were carved as outside rock reliefs and inside artificial caves excavated from the limestone cliffs of the Xiangshan. The Yi River (Chinese: 伊河) flows northward between them and the area used to be called Yique (伊阙; 'The Gate of the Yi River'). The grottoes were excavated and carved with Buddhist subjects over the period from 493 AD to 1127 AD

THE GLORIOUS TIANZI HOTEL

The English translation for “Tianzi” works out to something like “Son of Heaven,” which makes sense given the bearded figures after which the hotel is modeled are intended to directly resemble three Chinese gods. Dating back to the Ming Dynasty (which reigned from 1368 to 1644), these deities are personifications of the three attributes assumed for a good life. This hotel is in the Langfang city, a prefecture-level city of Hebei Province, between Beijing and Tianjin. The three sculptural figures are the Chinese epical heroes Fu, Lu and Shou (Fu –the central, good fortune, 福; Lu –the right, prosperity, 禄; and Shou –the left, longevity, 寿 ;). It is noteworthy that immediately after the construction end this unique and funny hotel holds the Guinness World Record for the «World’s Biggest Image Building". Height of the thematic hotel is 41.6 meters.
