Chinese President Xi Jinping has consistently emphasized enhancing the preservation and utilization of cultural heritage. At the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Yungang Grottoes, Zhou Yuchao is helping put that vision into practice. For more than a decade, he has climbed scaffolding to digitally record the ancient carvings.
