Flying figures of Buddhist deities dance across the stone walls of the Xiangtangshan Caves in Handan, Hebei Province. Gracefully draped in silk, they dance as if they had traveled through time and space to meet us. Either playing music or dancing, the figures are centered around a lotus flower. Adorned in gorgeous clothes, they hold all kinds of musical instruments that seem to emanate melodious music.
