5) The 4 famous Grottos in China - besides focusing on my visits to UNESCO sits in China and whenever possible, I will make a point to visit famous Grottoes in China. The 4 famous Grottoes listed in China website are Mogao Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes, Longmen Grottoes & Maijishan Grottoes. Two more Grottoes worth mentioning are Dazu Grottoes near Chongqing & Bingling Grottoes near Lanzhou. I am glad that after all these years of passionate travelling to China, I had virtually visited all of these famous Grottoes - a great feat in the world of my travelling thus far !
