“Buddha's Light at the Silk Road”. July 25, 2014, a tourist is doing a religious worship in Giant Buddhist Grotto, Bin County, Shaanxi Province, China. She is shocked by the giant figure of Buddha and the mysterious beam. The sitting Buddha's figure built in 628 AD is the most magnificent Buddha's figure along the ancient Silk Road. In June, 2014, the Giant Buddhist Grottoes successfully entered the World Heritage list. The grotto was carved in north face of a red sand cliff, therefore, such a mysterious beam could appear only in few time of several special days in summer, which is very precious for the Buddhist believers. Photo location: Giant Buddhist Temple, Bin County, Shaanxi Province, China. (Photo and caption by Bingchen Gou/National Geographic Photo Contest)
