Longyou Grottoes 龙游石窟
The Longyou Grottoes, also called the Xiaonanhai Stone Chambers, lie in Longyou County, Quzhou, Zhejiang. They are a group of huge man-made chambers cut into red sandstone, found in 1992 when villagers pumped out several ponds and discovered the caves beneath. The walls are covered with neat chisel marks, and the ceilings and pillars were carved from the solid rock. No historical record says who cut them, when, or why, and the question remains open.
