Cave 6

Cave 5 and cave 6 are a group of double caves, located in the middle of Yungang Grottoes.

The main statue on the north wall of the back room is the third Buddha. The central sitting statue is 17 meters high, which is the largest Buddha statue in Yungang Grottoes. The four walls of the cave are full of Buddhist niches and statues. On both sides of the arch, there are two Buddhas sitting opposite each other on the top of the bodhi tree, with beautiful lines. There are five four storey pavilions in front of the two caves. The existing building was rebuilt in 1651. The sixth cave is nearly square in plane, with a two-story square tower connecting the top of the cave in the center, about 15 meters high. The pagoda pillar is called a layer of large niches. In the south, the statue of sitting Buddha is carved. In the west, the statue of sitting Buddha is carved. In the north, the statue of yingduobao is carved. In the East, the statue of Maitreya is carved. On both sides of the large niches on the four sides of the pagoda pillar, the East, South and west walls of the cave, and the two sides of the window, 33 relief sculptures depicting Sakyamuni's biography from his birth to his success are carved. This grotto is one of the most representative of Yungang Grottoes, with grand scale, rich carving and refined techniques.
