Currently, all kinds of protection measures are under way.

One characteristic of Kanjing Temple is the 29 arhat statues from Tang Dynasty carved on the grotto’s northern, southern and eastern walls. When the opening time is due, visitors buying the tickets for Longmen Grottoes will not need to by extra tickets to visit Kanjing Temple.
