Number of caves
The article quote 1,400, UNESCO site, on the other hand specify a very accurate number (2,345), Atlas of World Heritage: China spcify 2,300 and Illuminating the past, and present specify 23,000 (which is certainly an error, but it make sense if we omit the last zero).

"It is said that 800,000 workers created it over the period from 500 to 523"
Really? In a 12m long, 10.9m wide cave? Here is a better explanation "The project took 802,366 man-days, from the 1st year of Jinming to June of the 4th year of Zhengguang (AD 500 -- 523)." Middle Binyang Cave from China Daily Longmen Grottoes website. Avihu (talk) 20:40, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Inconsistency
IN this article, the first section mentions 2,345 caves in the region, while the geography section mentions 1,400. Witch is it? 71.63.237.183 (talk) 22:14, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
