Travel guide to Maijishan Grottoes, a famous tourist attraction in Tianshui, Gansu, China, suitable for checking in and taking photos📸

#Mainland Travel Maijishan Grottoes is a famous tourist attraction in Tianshui, Gansu, China. Thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing every day. This time I will introduce a travel guide to Maijishan Grottoes. Attractions Grotto mountain scenery The mountain where the Maijishan Grottoes are located is shaped like a stack of wheat, rising from the ground, and the mountain is steep and dangerous. The mountain is covered with dense vegetation and the scenery varies in each season. Looking from a distance, the solitary peak of Maiji Mountain stands out against the surrounding mountains, forming a magnificent landscape painting. Cave architectural landscape The cave architecture of Maijishan Grottoes is diverse, most of which are Buddhist temple-style, without a central pillar cave. It is magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, and blends well with the surrounding natural landscape, showing a unique artistic charm. The beauty of sculpture art These sculptures are mainly clay sculptures and stone-based clay sculptures. They are of various shapes and lifelike, vividly demonstrating the superb skills and rich imagination of ancient craftsmen. They complement the architecture and murals of the caves and are known as the "Oriental Sculpture Exhibition Hall." Mural Art Landscape The murals in the caves are rich in themes and bright in colors. Although they have been eroded by time and some of them have become mottled and fallen off, they still cannot conceal their former splendor. The vivid characters, flowing costumes and smooth lines add a mysterious and romantic artistic atmosphere to the Maijishan Grottoes. - Location: Maiji Mountain, Maiji District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province Tickets: 80 / person Recommended play time: 3 - 5 hours
