Panorama view of Longmen Grotto from the far side of the lake. The shot is taken about 10AM, once crowds have begun to arrive, so you can (barely) see the people now congregating at the foot of the large statue of buddha (no individuals are recognizable in the shot due to the distance). The shot also shows the sparse tree growth on the top of the hill as well as the calm waters of the river in front of the grotto. This vantage may be among the best for showing the overall scope of Longmen before displaying photos of individual statues or grotttos. I think it also provide a reasonable context for how travellers might have first seen the grottos in an earlier area, at the point when artists were still carving the statues.
