Daily visitor caps demanded for ancient grotto temples
China DailyThe UNESCO World Heritage Site Yungang Grottoes in Shanxi province is one of most oustanding representatives of Chinese grotto temples. The National Cultural Heritage Administration and Ministry of Culture and Tourism jointly released an announcement on Wednesday demanding administrations of all ancient grotto temple sites across the country to set caps of daily visits by the end of this year to ensure safety of the cultural heritages and tourists. Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Gansu province, Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, Henan province, Yungang Grottoes in Datong, Shanxi province, and a series of Buddhist grottoes along the ancient Silk Road, have been inscribed on the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. As the announcement requires, all administrations of the country's grotto temples have to map their own capping plans based on closer supervision and balanced distribution of visits in different hours.
