That day, the Maijishan Grottoes were shrouded in misty rain in the early morning, like a hazy ink painting. We were fortunate to encounter the misty rain in Maiji, and the ethereal rain added a bit of mystery and tranquility to the entire grotto. In the afternoon, when we arrived at Xianren Cliff, the dark clouds quietly dispersed, and the blue sky and white clouds appeared leisurely, and the comfortable scenery was refreshing. Looking far away from the west cliff, I couldn't help but think of the master monks who once lived here. They could see such pleasant scenery early in the morning every day, which is really enviable. The process of climbing the mountain is really difficult, as if to "send" people away, but when you finally reach the west cliff, looking at the lush mountains and blue sky and white clouds, all the fatigue instantly dissipates, and everything is worth it. This is probably the meaning of climbing, measuring the world with your feet, and feeling the charm of nature with your soul. About Xianren Cliff, it is located in Maiji District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province. It is an important part of the Maijishan Scenic Area and is known as a national AAAAA tourist attraction. It started in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and has a history of nearly 1,600 years. The existing temples and buildings and repairs of the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, and some clay sculptures are works of the late Northern Wei Dynasty. For a long time, this has been a holy place where Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism coexist, and it has integrated rich religious culture. The scenic area is composed of three cliffs (Che Cliff, West Cliff, and South Cliff), five peaks (Yuhuang Peak, Baogai Peak, Xianzhu Peak, Dongya Peak, and Xiya Peak), and six temples (Mulian Temple, Shilian Temple, Tielian Temple, Hualian Temple, Shuilian Temple, and Lingying Temple, among which Lingying Temple is the general name of Xianren Cliff Temple) and Xianren Lake, etc., perfectly showing the combination of natural landscape and cultural landscape.
