Maijishan Grottoes, one of the four major grottoes in China. If Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is the 'Great Gallery' in the Gobi, then Maijishan Grottoes is the 'Sculpture Museum' on the cliff. There are currently 221 grottoes in Maijishan Grottoes, with 3938 various statues of 10632 bodies, from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Two Song Dynasties, all showing different styles of statues and the continuation of statue craftsmanship over the ages. 📒: Unlike the grand style of Yungang and Longmen, the clay sculptures of Maijishan are restrained and gentle, full of the smell of the world. After the wind and frost, these excellent colored sculptures still shine. 📒: The ancients, with their devout faith, infused eternal beauty and Buddha nature into every Buddha statue in this grotto. Those worldly smiles, the smiles of the Buddha, carrying people's longing for a good ordinary life, are forever fixed in the grottoes of Maijishan in the depths of the Qinling Mountains. 🚗Travel: In addition to chartered platforms and self-driving, Tianshui has a special travel bus line. You can also find a taxi or a networked car, round trip, remember to bargain. If you book a homestay in the scenic area directly, the homestay owner will take you in. 🎫Ticket: The pass is 80 yuan and you can visit most of the caves, and some of the caves inside are charged separately. ⏰Opening hours 9:00-5:30, basically the staff of the scenic area will start to urge everyone to go out after five o'clock, and start clearing the field at half past five. ➡️Tour route Divided into 1 and 2 lines, line 1 has to climb stairs to a height of 84 meters, mainly ordinary caves; line 2 includes 2 special caves, the route is flat, suitable for fear of heights, with elderly children. Looking at the flow of people, 80% will choose line 1. Line 1 sees more caves, mainly concentrated in the downhill process. There are fewer caves on line 2, but you can see special caves, and the view of the three large caves is good. Judging from the broadcast in the scenic area, once it enters the holiday peak, it should be diverted like this. Non-peak is based on the ticket price of ordinary caves + separate special caves to visit. ➡️Tour time Maijishan has two ticket checks (at the entrance of the scenic area and at the entrance of the park) and one sightseeing car check. The sightseeing car journey is about 3.5 kilometers. Line 1 tour takes about 1.5 hours, and line 2 observation should not exceed 1 hour. ➡️Travel time It is recommended to set off at 7 o'clock, arrive at the sightseeing car entrance at 8 o'clock, queue for the sightseeing car for 5 minutes, queue for entry for 15 minutes, queue for diversion for 30 minutes, so that you can start the tour at 9 o'clock. If you come later between 9-10 o'clock, the parking lot of the scenic spot will be full and the road will be closed. You can only get off at the tourist distribution center, which means you have to take the scenic area bus to the entrance of the scenic area. It will take more time to queue at each point at least twice as much time. ➡️Do you need a tour guide Absolutely unnecessary. The tour guides soliciting customers at the entrance of the scenic area will only send them to the entrance of the hospital, don't expect them to climb stairs and queue with tourists.

The Maijishan Grottoes are located in Tianshui City, Gansu Province, and are known as one of the four major grottoes in China, along with the Mogao Caves, Longmen Grottoes, and Yungang Grottoes. They have a history of more than 1600 years. I visited Maijishan once in 2005. At that time, the mountain trail was made of wood, and it creaked when stepped on, which was quite scary. This time, on the way back to Beijing from a self-driving tour in western Sichuan, I visited again and felt a lot of changes. First, the mountain trail has been reinforced. Second, the scale of the scenic area has expanded. Third, the service facilities have been improved. The only thing that hasn't changed is the more than 200 caves and more than 3,000 Buddha statues carved by ancient people on the mountain. The Maijishan Grottoes were photographed on August 2, 2023.

Maijishan Grottoes, a place I've longed for a long time. 😄 Everyone says that the expressions of the sculptures here are comparable to emoticons, which to me just feel more down-to-earth and lively. Some of the expressions on the sculptures seem to have appeared on the faces of neighbors' uncles and aunties as well. The grottoes mainly preserve clay sculptures, which have continuously evolved over the dynasties. From the early and late Northern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, Tang to the Song dynasties. Despite my fear of heights, I still think it's very worthwhile to see these precious works of art. 📖 Maijishan Grottoes 📍 Located in Maijishan Scenic Area, Maiji Town, Maiji District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province 🚗 Take Tianshui bus routes 5, 16, 34, or 60 and get off at Maijishan Station. 💰 80 RMB per person (adult ticket, excluding ticket exchange with ID); sightseeing car round trip 15 RMB per ride

There is an underground passage connecting the North and South Houses, but unfortunately, it was not open when we visited. This place is open to the public for free~ Behind the North and South Houses is the Temple of Literature, one and a half to two hours is enough Fuxi Temple and Tianshui Museum 🌈The entrance fee for Fuxi Temple is 20 RMB, and it is open for free at certain times.

Tianshui tourism is finally heating up! The most impressive part of this trip to Tianshui was not the spicy hot pot, but the Maijishan Grottoes—it's like a Buddhist realm on the sheer cliffs! ❗️How to enjoy a crowd-free scenic spot? (Don't go when it's crowded, or you'll be bumping heads with the person in front of you hhhhhhhh) Tips: 📍1. The scenic area stops admitting visitors at 4:30 PM, so we plan to enter around 4 PM. By then, most tourists have finished their tours and left, allowing us to enjoy the site without disturbance, peacefully admiring and taking photos! 📍2. Take the sightseeing bus up, because walking up the slope can be tiring and time-consuming 📍3. It gets cool in the mountains in the morning and evening, don't forget to bring a jacket 📍4. Those with extreme fear of heights should be cautious, as you have to climb steps in the air (which is also the greatness of the Maijishan Grottoes). I have a mild fear of heights, but it's still acceptable to me Wandering up and down the layered pathways, lingering among the statues, the colored sculptures of Maijishan always have an attractive power that makes people stop and linger. This power comes from the soul of the sculptures, sometimes innocent and cute, sometimes compassionate and approachable, always making one feel that this is the human world, not an unattainable religious realm.

Maijishan Scenic Area is located in Maiji Village, Maiji Town, Maiji District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province.

Maijishan Grottoes | A World in Every Grotto Taking advantage of the popularity of Tianshui hot and spicy soup, I made a trip to one of the four famous grottoes, the Maggie Mountain Grottoes. The place was incredibly crowded. It cost 80 yuan to take a taxi from the downtown area, and then I took a sightseeing bus upon arrival. The journey wasn't long, but it's not very friendly for those with a fear of heights. I didn't hire a guide, just had a quick look around. I saw many Buddhas with mysterious Eastern smiles. Definitely worth a visit.

Tianshui City, formerly known as Qinzhou and Shanggui, is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Gansu Province, located in the southeast of Gansu Province. It is the secondary core city of the Guanzhong Plain city group and an important node city of the Silk Road Economic Belt. Tianshui City is named after the legend of 'Tianhe pouring water', and has a civilization history of about 8000 years. It is represented by 'Five Cultures' such as Fuxi culture, Dadiwan culture, early Qin culture, Maijishan grotto culture and Three Kingdoms ancient battlefield culture. The geomorphological regions of Tianshui City are clearly differentiated. The eastern and southern parts are uplifted due to the folding of ancient strata, forming mountainous terrain. The northern part is formed by geological subsidence and the deposition of red and yellow loess layers, forming loess hilly terrain. A small part of the central area is formed by the fracture of the latitudinal structural belt, forming the Weihe trench, and through the fourth river erosion and accumulation, forming the Weihe River Valley terrain. The northern part is a loess ridge and gully area. The Weihe River and its tributaries traverse it, forming a basin and river valley terrace with wide valleys and gorges. The middle and eastern parts are the Qinling and Guanshan mountain areas. The western Qinling mountains, dominated by the Jinhuang Mountain, Yunwu Mountain, and Jingdong Ridge, and the small Longshan and Longshan mountains in the east, dominated by the Bagua Mountain, Flame Mountain, Qinling Dabao, and Guanshan, are stacked with mountains and deep valleys. Tianshui City has a pleasant climate and is suitable for living and tourism. It has a temperate monsoon climate with an average annual temperature of 11°C. Tianshui historical culture: 1. Fuxi culture: The Fuxi culture that appeared more than 5,000 years ago is the source of Chinese culture and civilization. It is said that Emperor Fuxi invented the net and taught the people to fish and hunt, created the Eight Diagrams, distinguished surnames, and advocated the excellent culture of the Chinese nation such as colored pottery culture, jade culture, and dragon culture. 2. Dadiwan culture: Dadiwan culture is an ancient civilization created by the Huaxia ancestors in the Yellow River Basin and is one of the sources of Huaxia civilization. It is the earliest site discovered in the Neolithic Age in China. It is located in Shaodian Village, Wuying Township, 45 kilometers northeast of Qin'an County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province. It is the earliest and longest-lasting Paleolithic culture and Neolithic culture in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, existing about 4800 to 60000 years ago. 3. Grotto culture: One of the four major grottoes in China, Maijishan Grottoes, named after the mountain looks like a stack of wheat, is located about 30 kilometers southeast of Tianshui. According to historical records, the grottoes were built in the Later Qin (384-417), and were greatly developed during the Northern Wei Mingyuan Emperor and Taiwu Emperor period, and developed again after the Taihe first year of Emperor Xiaowen (477). After the death of Empress Yifu (Empress Yifu) of Emperor Wen of the Western Wei Dynasty, Maiji Cliff was excavated here for burial. During the Baoding and Tianhe years of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (561-572), Li Yunxin, the governor of Qinzhou, built the Seven Buddha Pavilion for his deceased father. In the first year of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty (601), a tower was built on Maijishan to 'bury the relics of the divine nun', and after the Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, it was continuously excavated and expanded, becoming one of the famous grotto groups in China. 4. Pre-Qin culture: Tianshui is the birthplace of the Qin State. The ancestor of the Qin people, Ying Feizi, was meritorious in horse herding here. In 890 BC, he was enfeoffed by King Xiao of Zhou in Qinting, which is the Tianshui area today. After more than 200 years of development and growth, he moved east to the Guanzhong area of Shaanxi in 762 BC and began the pace of unifying the six countries. During the process of unifying the six countries, the Qin people established Gui County and Ji County in Qingshui and Gangu, Tianshui City in 688 BC, which are the earliest counties in the history of China's city and county establishment. The early Qin culture remains are mainly concentrated in the Tianshui area of Gansu. 5. Three Kingdoms culture: During the Three Kingdoms period, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu were divided and dominated. Due to the important strategic position of Tianshui City, some emperors, generals, and military leaders staged a series of mighty and heroic historical dramas here. Stories such as Zhuge Liang's six outings to Qishan, losing Jieting, and receiving Jiang Wei all happened in Tianshui. Jieting is located in Longcheng Town, Qin'an County, 100 kilometers northeast of Qinzhou District, Tianshui City. There are war remains such as 'chaotic bone pile', 'big camp', 'permanent camp', 'ten thousand people tomb', and relics such as crossbows and horse stings. There are many ancient battlefield sites of the Three Kingdoms such as Jieting, Tianshui Pass, Mumen Road, and Zhuge Army Camp in the territory.
