Maijishan Cave-Temple Complex

大翔嗷嗷

The price-performance ratio is relatively high, the tickets are not expensive, and the historical and cultural atmosphere is very strong. It is one of the four major grottoes and you must check it out in your lifetime. However, it happened to be a holiday, the passage in the scenic area is relatively steep, and there are many elderly people and children. Basically, we had to queue up for the whole visit.

The Maijishan Grottoes are really shocking! From afar, the solitary peak rises up, shaped like a stack of wheat. Walking into the grottoes, the Buddha statues are carved vividly, and the colors of the murals are still bright and moving after years. Every detail is full of the wisdom and hard work of ancient craftsmen. Coming here is like traveling through time and space, and having an artistic dialogue with the ancients, which is very rewarding.

Tianshui Museum

To be honest, the Tianshui Museum was beyond my expectation. I thought it was just a small museum at first, but there are many good things in it, and the classification is also very complete. It is really good. Tianshui has done a great job in this regard.

Jingtu Temple

XY.

Jingtu Temple, located in Maiji District, Tianshui, Gansu, is adjacent to Maijishan Grottoes, Xianren Cliff and other scenic spots. It is part of the Maijishan Scenic Area, a world cultural heritage. After passing Ganlu Pond and Bodhi Avenue and entering the gate, the grand building complex composed of more than 20 large buildings integrates the styles of Tang, Song, Ming, Qing, Tibetan, Han and North and South, with a total construction area of more than 6,000 square meters. It is the largest Buddhist temple in Longdong. On the central axis are the Ancient Buddha Hall and Manjusri Hall, which are exquisitely built, simple and elegant. Jingtu Temple, formerly known as "Jigu Temple", "Kyoto Temple" and "Manjusri Temple", can be traced back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was built by Master Huiyuan and has a history of 1,700 years. There is also a saying that it was built in the late Tang Dynasty, and was successively repaired by the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and was demolished in the 1970s. In the 1990s, the great monk Haizheng saw this Feng Shui and decided to rebuild the ancient temple. After begging for alms from all directions, raising money and carefully planning, it took 13 years to build. Passing the Dharma Hall, the Five Contemplation Hall, and the Hall of Five Hundred Arhats, head east and stand in front of the "Buddha in the Heart of All People" landscape stone, looking towards the Great Powerful Peak, the huge stone exposed on the cliff looks like a huge Buddha head, forming a lifelike "natural Buddha". The Sutra Library is large in scale. From the outside, it has two floors, about 30 meters high, and three floors inside, where the Dharma image of Manjusri Bodhisattva is placed. The eighteen peaks around the Pure Land Temple are called the Eighteen Arhat Peaks. They all face the main peak Manjusri Peak, like eighteen lotus petals embracing each other, forming the natural wonders of "Green Sea Treasure Lotus" and "Eighteen Arhats Worshiping Manjusri". Tips: Respect the temple regulations when visiting, keep quiet, and do not touch or destroy cultural relics at will. The Pure Land Temple can be connected with Maijishan Grottoes, Xianren Cliff, Bailu Cang and other scenic spots for sightseeing. There are Pearl Hotel and Hot Spring Hotel nearby to provide food and accommodation.
