FENGXIANSI CAVE Kanjingsi Cave (constructed from A.D. 684 to 741, during the reign of Empress Wu Zhou), located in the north of Wanfougou, is a big cave with square and flat ceiling. A large lotus flower enclosed by six apsaras decorates the ceiling. The lower parts of the front, right, and left walls are occupied by 29 arhats, 11 on the main wall and nine on each of the side walls, who are of the same size as true humans. The arhats are of different figures and characters, expressing their distinctive interior interest. They are carved in high relief, with high artistic value.
