    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Longmen Grottoes, located in Luoyang, Henan Province, China, are one of the finest examples of Chinese Buddhist art. The site comprises the Xishan Grottoes, Dongshan Grottoes, Baiyuan Garden, and Xiangshan Temple. Carved into limestone cliffs along the Yi River, the site features over 2,300 caves and niches filled with thousands of Buddha statues, inscriptions, and steles dating back to the Northern Wei and Tang dynasties. Recognized by UNESCO as the pinnacle of Chinese stone carving art, the grottoes reflect artistic, spiritual, and cultural achievements spanning centuries. Today, they face growing threats from climate change and environmental erosion. They are closely aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 13: Climate Action, and SDG 11.4: Strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage), calling for proactive measures to protect our shared cultural treasures in the face of climate change.]]></dcterms:description>
