There is a huge archway at the entrance of the alley. Go outside and walk out of the ancient city.
Maijishan Cave-Temple Complex
XXY.Maijishan Grottoes is one of the four grottoes, rich in shape and vivid and exquisite in shape. Generally, tourists take Line 1, and when there are many people, Line 2 will be opened. There are several special caves that need to buy additional tickets, and the staff will take them to visit. When I went there, I caught up with the rainy day. There were not many people. I didn't have to queue. I could look carefully and take pictures. It took more than three hours, which was relatively slow. There are also Xianren Cliff and Jingtu Temple near Maijishan Grottoes, which are all very good attractions. The scenic spot is more than 30 kilometers away from the city center. It is recommended to live near the scenic spot and taste it carefully. There are Pearl Hotel and Hot Spring Hotels under the mountain. The conditions are great. You can visit the Bailucang Scenic Area by the way.
Tianshui Maijishan National Geopark In Gansu
走走遍天下XZMaiji Mountain has been on my travel list for a while. This time when I went to Lanzhou, I saw that the train to Tianshui only took more than an hour, so I decided to go.
Although there are indeed many people in the tourist season, and the temperature in Tianshui has been hot this summer, the scenery of Maiji Mountain is so beautiful that it leaves a very beautiful picture. It is worth the trip!
Most of the Buddha statues in the Maiji Mountain Grottoes are clay sculptures and painted, colorful, and both spiritual and physical. It is also the most vivid and interesting one among the four famous grottoes.
At the entrance at the foot of the mountain, there are some propaganda columns introducing the grotto Buddha statues, murals, etc. You can learn about them before going up the mountain.
So many caves have been carved out of the cliffs of Maiji Mountain, which are like knives and axes. So many skilled craftsmen have spent thousands of years to complete this huge work of art. The sky bridges, ladders, and plank roads on it are ingenious. Not only do people walk, but also transport various materials. It is really amazing!
Fuxi Temple
后后天再见面🏛️As soon as you step into the Tianshui Fuxi Temple, it seems as if you have traveled through time and space and returned to the ancient times full of mystery and awe. This ancient building complex, which was built during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, is not only a shining pearl in Northwest China, but also an important material carrier of Fuxi culture.
🌳Walking into the temple, towering ancient cypresses come into view, with cypress shadows dancing and birds flying, giving people a sense of tranquility and depth. Especially the 37 ancient cypresses that symbolize the number of Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, are still tall and lush, as if telling an ancient story.
🏛️The architectural style of the temple is solemn and majestic. The archway, gate, ceremonial gate, Xiantian Hall, and Taiji Hall are arranged in sequence along the longitudinal axis, advancing layer by layer, which makes people respect the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients. Every building reveals the thickness of history and the accumulation of culture.
📜In the Fuxi Temple, I not only felt the charm of ancient architecture, but also deeply realized the profoundness of Fuxi culture. This is not only a center for studying, displaying and inheriting Fuxi culture, dragon culture and Yixue culture, but also a place for Chinese people around the world to trace their roots and worship their ancestors.
🎉In general, Tianshui Fuxi Temple is an unforgettable travel experience. It not only allows me to appreciate the grandeur and exquisiteness of ancient architecture, but also allows me to deeply appreciate the long history and profoundness of Chinese culture. If you are also interested in ancient Chinese culture and history, then Tianshui Fuxi Temple is definitely a tourist destination not to be missed.
Immortal Cliff
冯冯JQThe scenic area combines landscape and Buddhist culture. In addition to tourists, there are many pilgrims. There are three cliffs with temples under them. There are thick smoke on several cliffs, which should be the traces left by believers burning incense and worshiping Buddha for thousands of years.
Gangu Daxiangshan
布布晓呆Daxiang Mountain is located in Gangu County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province. It is due to the repair of the giant Buddha statue. Gangu Buddha is the Sakyamuni Buddha. Since the name of Daxiang Mountain has been changed to the name of the Big Buddha, the world has been called Daxiang Mountain. Because the mountain is flag-shaped, it is also known as Wenqi Mountain.
Tianshui Museum
麟麟小游Tianshui Museum is a national first-class museum located in Tianshui, a national historical and cultural city. It has a rich collection of cultural relics, high-quality cultural relics, and precious cultural relics with great artistic appreciation. The museum has vigorous and upright ancient cypresses, beautiful scenery, and complete service facilities. Strolling in the exhibition hall, you can fully understand the long and splendid history and culture of Tianshui. It is very worth visiting.
Nanguo Temple
走走遍天下XZDuring the summer vacation, I went to Tianshui to escape the heat. There were crowded people everywhere. Only in Nanguo Temple, I found that there were very few people, and the ancient trees were towering here, shaded by greenery, and it was very cool and comfortable. Nanguo Temple has a history of more than 1600 years, in the Tang Dynasty has been quite famous, known as "the first temple of the right", and later because Du Fu lived in Tianshui, wrote more than 100 poems praising Tianshui, including a "Shantou Nanguo Temple", and the reputation is far away. Guangxu changed the "Dongchan Forest Courtyard" to "Du Shaoling Temple" for 30 years, adding another scene to Tianshui. The existing Du Fu Shibei in the temple is carved 500 years ago, which is a treasure of Tianshui. There are also places of interest such as Beiliu Spring, Tangyu Hanbai and other monuments. Myanmar's jade body is still worshipped in the temple. The three ancient bronze Buddhas shipped back by India have been destroyed in the Cultural Revolution. Other existing Buddha statues are also very exquisite, and the art of Maiji Landslide is the same source. The top of the mountain is built with a Nanshan Pagoda, very tall (other text re-telling). Nanguo Temple is one of the "Qinzhou Eight Views". It is a pity that many people give up because it is a little far from the city. In fact, they are on the way to Tianshui South Station. It is a pleasure to take a trip!
Jingtu Temple
XXY.Jingtu Temple, located in Maiji District, Tianshui, Gansu, is adjacent to Maijishan Grottoes, Xianren Cliff and other scenic spots. It is part of the Maijishan Scenic Area, a world cultural heritage.
After passing Ganlu Pond and Bodhi Avenue and entering the gate, the grand building complex composed of more than 20 large buildings integrates the styles of Tang, Song, Ming, Qing, Tibetan, Han and North and South, with a total construction area of more than 6,000 square meters. It is the largest Buddhist temple in Longdong. On the central axis are the Ancient Buddha Hall and Manjusri Hall, which are exquisitely built, simple and elegant.
Jingtu Temple, formerly known as "Jigu Temple", "Kyoto Temple" and "Manjusri Temple", can be traced back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was built by Master Huiyuan and has a history of 1,700 years. There is also a saying that it was built in the late Tang Dynasty, and was successively repaired by the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and was demolished in the 1970s.
In the 1990s, the great monk Haizheng saw this Feng Shui and decided to rebuild the ancient temple. After begging for alms from all directions, raising money and carefully planning, it took 13 years to build.
Passing the Dharma Hall, the Five Contemplation Hall, and the Hall of Five Hundred Arhats, head east and stand in front of the "Buddha in the Heart of All People" landscape stone, looking towards the Great Powerful Peak, the huge stone exposed on the cliff looks like a huge Buddha head, forming a lifelike "natural Buddha".
The Sutra Library is large in scale. From the outside, it has two floors, about 30 meters high, and three floors inside, where the Dharma image of Manjusri Bodhisattva is placed.
The eighteen peaks around the Pure Land Temple are called the Eighteen Arhat Peaks. They all face the main peak Manjusri Peak, like eighteen lotus petals embracing each other, forming the natural wonders of "Green Sea Treasure Lotus" and "Eighteen Arhats Worshiping Manjusri".
Tips:
Respect the temple regulations when visiting, keep quiet, and do not touch or destroy cultural relics at will.
The Pure Land Temple can be connected with Maijishan Grottoes, Xianren Cliff, Bailu Cang and other scenic spots for sightseeing. There are Pearl Hotel and Hot Spring Hotel nearby to provide food and accommodation.
