World cultural heritage is popular with tourists because of its unique resources. As one of the four largest Grottoes in China, Yungang Grottoes were listed in the world heritage list by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in 2001.Yungang Grottoes have a long history and delicate carving. The themes are mainly Buddhist statues and Buddhist stories, which integrate the Chinese and Western carving arts and have special cultural and artistic charm. However, with the continuous expansion of popularity and the increasing number of tourists, Yungang Grottoes bear more and more pressure. How to alleviate this pressure and improve the tourists’ experience has become the biggest “bottleneck” for its further sustainable development. Only by combining the protection and utilization of cultural heritage, inheritance and innovation, and by actively mobilizing the unity of the government, schools, media, citizens and tourists, can the important radiation and strong attraction of world cultural heritage be better exerted, and the sustainable development of world cultural heritage tourism culture be better promoted. Studying the sustainable development of the world cultural tourism heritage represented by Yungang Grottoes has a positive promotion and promotion effect on the healthy and stable development of China’s current tourism market.
