What I Saw:

I saw the largest stone Buddha in the world.  We saw the cave tombs.

My Favorite Part of the Day:

My favorite part of the day was seeing the clay animals, there were horses, pig, dogs, chicken.  These animals were in the tombs.

What I Learned Today:

The biggest Buddha was built to calm the river.  After it was built, with all the rocks and the Buddha done, it did calm the river, it was safe for ships to pass.  A structure (protecting it) was destroyed and sacked by the Mongols during the wars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
