Yungang's largest grotto, known as "Lingyan Temple," is Grotto 3. Historical records reveal that the Northern Wei Lingyan Temple can host over 3,000 individuals for Buddhist events. Initially designed as a massive tower temple with an innovative layout, it was left unfinished during the Northern Wei Dynasty. The northern wall of Grotto 3 features statues of Amitabha, Avalokitesvara, and Mahasthamaprapta, referred to as the "Three Holy Ones of the West."
