Situated at the south of Binyang Cave, the Ten-thousand Buddha Cave has abundant statues, with numerous small Buddhist images carved on the south and north stonewalls. Many of them are as small as one inch or several centimeters in a total number of over 1500. The Buddhist statue in the main wall of the cave sits up on the octagonal lotus throne. On the waist of the throne there are four Hercules shouldering the supine lotus flowers. On the rear wall 54 lotuses are carved with a Bodhisattva or a Donor sitting on each flower. On the top of the cave are the carvings of free Flying Apsaras in relief, each with its own vivid posture and expression.
