“It is really impressive, " said Cassandra," I've seen many carvings or religious stories in other art forms in Europe, but this one is amazing. Their religious stories are similar. They both want to teach people who cannot read.”

As YouTubers, they listened to the tour guide’s explanation, recording the exquisite stone sculptures with the camera and introducing the history and culture behind it in their language. “We are going to post vlogs on YouTube. Our fans will marvel at the charm of this place just like us”, said Max.
