Xiangjishan Karst Cave

Xiangji Mountain is on the north side of Maiji Mountain, separated from Maiji Mountain. From the Maiji Mountain Scenic Area, you can drive into Xiangjigou. Here you can walk upstream along the stream. Along the road, the mountains on both sides of the road are covered with green pine and green bamboo. Various flowers and trees are especially pleasant in the sun. Out of the river valley, pick up the level at the stone steps. The stairs are built around the mountain, each line of twenty or thirty steps, around, there are different scenery, there are strange flowers and grasses next to the road, birds singing and water sound into the ears, squirrel and crow leaping leisurely, and now and then; Turn around the mountain five or six, the trestle bridge two or three places, after a slate oblique, you can see a high cliff, the cliff color is white and black, leaning on the trend, dangerous and beautiful. Look at the cliff, you can see a scorpion version built a shrine, half-height, suspected of being a mountain shrine, there is no god in the inside, there are often mountain people carrying bouquets to worship them; Next to the cliff wall, there is a step of the mountain outstretched down the hill, and climbed up the stairs. I saw a small cave for the first time. It can accommodate people. The mountain springs are full of cold in all seasons. Then turn on the mountain and enter a huge cave. Looking up, the mountains are the tops on the left and right. The green pine is slightly poured out on the edge, concealing the sun and entering lightly, and then forward dozens of steps. It can be like a cave, the cave is dark and narrow, there are two or three forks, but there is no traffic, and there is no lost road. The original cave is finished. After cutting a mine-shaped ramp, the back section is very steep. You need to climb with your hands and feet. There are mountain springs in the cave in summer and autumn, and the icicles in winter and spring are demonic. The road surface of the original boulder bump is frozen flat, slippery difficult to enter. Instead, go out of the cave and step down the cliff, and find the road and go up. You have to see a platform. You can see Maiji Mountain from afar. When you look back, you will see a temple hidden in the bamboo. You often hear the ancient clouds "Maiji Mountain in the south, Xiangji Temple in the north". The words, cover the posterior also repaired.

【麦积山奇遇】攀高处，想一览麦积山暮色。不料山径崎岖，道路残破，人烟罕至。从溶洞下来有一个分叉路可以向上走到香积寺。百度地图只有定位但没有标记道路。到山顶，不见香积寺踪影，只见木屋一座，残破的木板上写着"香积寺筹办处"，四下里只有老和尚一人。原来香积寺初建于北魏，比麦积山石窟还早，最后竟也焚毁。10多年前，师傅听说有人愿重建香积寺，便从仙人崖过来筹办。可不料原寺遗址所处位置太过偏僻，投资重建也一直未能如愿。他守着此地，辟几处农田，种几颗野果，夏来取泉，冬来燃木，已经十个春秋。我问有没有想过回仙人崖，他则说，香积寺一定能重建起来，若如是则能弘扬佛法。良久不知所言。最终我翻开手机相册，我给您讲讲我去过的敦煌莫高窟吧…希望更多人能够登临香积寺的旧址看这绝美日出日落，也许香积寺有一天就能重建了吧。

天水香积山位于甘肃省天水市麦积山南面约两公里处，为西秦岭支脉，山顶原有明代寺院，被称为香积寺，可惜被毁，现仅存残垣断壁。香积山为渭水支流永川河的源头，周围山奇林秀，溪石相映。相传唐时香火极旺，与麦积山瑞应寺交相呼应，晨钟暮鼓此起彼伏，佛事鼎盛。
