Name: A historic capital reborn, a heritage reawakened

Description: At the Longmen Grottoes, the lighting does more than illuminate the caves — it coaxes thousand-year-old Buddhas gently out of the dark. Soft, warm, and restrained rather than glaringly bright, it keeps the site undisturbed while making it visible once more: one of the quietest, most elegant ways a historic city can reinvent itself.
