I walked into the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and saw the Guanyin Well in Sanwei Mountain on a self-driving tour.

Across the Daquan River, Sanwei Mountain and Mingsha Mountain face each other. If you are not afraid of socializing, Mingsha Mountain is also lively; if you just want to be quiet, Sanwei Mountain can be far away from the hustle and bustle. We entered Sanwei Mountain, and there were no people or cars in the wild. We began to doubt whether this was a road leading directly to the South Heavenly Gate. 🌈Attraction features: 1) According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Sanwei Mountain was once the place where the three blue birds of the Queen Mother lived. 2) There are Sanwei Buddha, Wangmu Palace and Guanyin Well in Sanwei Mountain. Walking along the road, you can see the sculptures of the four groups of scriptures. But this place is desolate and not like a scenic spot. 3) Picture 5 is Wangmu Palace. It is said that this was originally a palace of the Queen Mother of the West. Once she went out and accidentally walked on water, the three blue birds rescued the fire and failed to destroy the dojo, so they gave up here. 4) The last picture is Guanyin Well. It is said that once Guanyin Bodhisattva passed by here on his way back from the Four Heavens, thinking that this was once the palace of the Queen Mother of the West, and now it is deserted and broken, and he can't bear it. I poured some water from the clean bottle, so there was a well spring in the valley of Sanwei Mountain, and this well has not dried up for many years. 🎟️Ticket related: 20 yuan/person 🕐️Scenic area opening hours: 08:00-18:00 💗Other tips: 1) Located about 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang City, it is convenient to drive by yourself 2) It is not far from Mogao Grottoes, and the two attractions can be arranged on the same day
