Maijishan Cave-Temple Complex

Maiji Mountain, one of the four grottoes, is worth a visit and recommended for off-season. The bus can be pulled directly to the door, and the explanation of the No. 133 grotto can be presented as a gift. There are many cats on the road. Good luck just in time for the snow, the snow falls in Qinling has a special flavor!

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.

Fuxi Temple

水漫三楼
Fuxi Temple is located in the center of Tianshui City. It takes a little time to take a car from Tianshui South Station. After passing the Fuxi City Archway, it is the whole pedestrian street. After about 100 meters, it will arrive at the entrance of Fuxi Temple. On the road, you can place an order on your mobile phone in advance and buy tickets. You can enter the door smoothly by scanning the code. Through one, and a group of temples, through an automatic door, you can come to the Tianshui City Museum in the backyard, listed as a national-level museum. There are not many national-level museums in prefectural-level cities, and Tianshui occupies one of them. The Chen exhibition of Tianshui Museum features prehistoric pottery, bronzeware from pre-Qin to two Han and three countries, Buddhist stone carving mud-plastic art represented by Maijishan Grottoes, stone bricks and sculptures from two Han and Tang Dynasties, and rich collections of famous kilns, black and white enamel porcelain. Art is of great value, wonderful and dazzling.

The ancient city is not very big, but it is very lively, delicious, the price is not expensive, the service is in place, I feel that Tianshui City is really attentive in terms of tourism, the scenery, the ancient city has some characteristics of the northwest loess plateau, the main tone is yellow, it is still very interesting to walk and climb.

Immortal Cliff

The scenic area combines landscape and Buddhist culture. In addition to tourists, there are many pilgrims. There are three cliffs with temples under them. There are thick smoke on several cliffs, which should be the traces left by believers burning incense and worshiping Buddha for thousands of years.

Tianshui Museum

There is a saying that the Tianshui Museum is very unexpected. I thought it was a small museum, but there were a lot of good things in it, and the classification was very complete. It was really good. Tianshui did a good job in this regard.

Jingtu Temple

Jingtu Temple, located in Tianshui Maiji District, Gansu, adjacent to Maiji Mountain Grottoes, Xianren Cliff and other attractions, is part of the World Heritage Maiji Mountain Scenic Area. After the Ganlu Pond and Bodhi Avenue into the gate, the grand complex of more than 20 large buildings combines Tang, Song, Ming and Qing, Tibetan, Han and North and South styles, with a total construction area of more than 6,000 square meters, which is the largest Buddhist temple in the eastern region of Shanghai. The central axis has ancient Buddha temple, Wenshu Temple, beautifully built, simple and elegant. Jingtu Temple, formerly known as "Jinggu Temple", "Kyoto Temple", "Manshu Temple", its history can be traced back to the East Jin period, built by Huiyuan Master, has a history of 1,700 years. There is also a saying that it was built in the late Tang Dynasty, and was repaired by the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and was demolished in the 1970s. In the 1990s, Master Haizheng, a monk of the Great De, saw this beautiful feng shui, decided to rebuild the ancient temple, after ten-party chemistry, raise money, carefully planned, and completed it in 13 years. After the performance hall, the five view hall, the five hundred Luohan hall east, standing in front of the "Buddhism in the hearts" landscape stone, looking at the Daweide Mountain, the cliff exposed the boulder like a huge Buddha head, forming a wonderful "natural Buddha". The Tibetan Jingge is large in scale, with two upper and lower floors on the appearance, about 30 meters high, and three upper and lower floors on the interior, for Wenshu Bodhisattva. The eighteen peaks around the Jingtu Temple, called the eighteen Luohan Peak, all facing the main peak Wenshu Peak, like eighteen lotus petals surrounded, forming the "green sea Baolian" and "eighteen Luohan worship Wenshu" heavenly wonders. Tip: Pay attention to the temple regulations when visiting, keep quiet, do not touch or destroy cultural relics at will. Jingtu Temple can be connected to Maijishan Grottoes, Xianren Cliff, Bailu Cang and other attractions. There are Pearl Hotel and Hot Spring Hotel nearby.
