CHINA-HENAN-LUOYANG-LONGMEN GROTTOES-RESTORATION (CN)
(220416) -- LUOYANG, April 16, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Aerial photo taken on April 14, 2022 shows the restoration site of the Fengxian Temple of Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, central China's Henan Province. A restoration project is now underway at the Fengxian Temple, the largest cave of Longmen Grottoes.
Water seepage and perilous rock bases are the two factors that threaten the existence of cultural relics in the grottoes. New technologies have been adopted in the restoration, such as ground penetrating radar detection and protective nets design.
This has been the first large-scale restoration project of the temple since 1970s. The restoration started in December 2021 and has so far completed about 70 percent. The whole project is expected to finish in June this year. (Xinhua/Li An)
