At present, it is found that there are about 94 caves, all of which are carved on the high mountain cliffs on both sides of the mouth of the Tuyugougou, and some of the caves have collapsed, only about 8 caves still have some murals. More than that, here, also found a lot of ancient works such as scriptures in the ancient centuries.

    It was not hot to visit in early October around 2 to 3 pm. We rented a car from Flaming Mountains (Huoyan Shan) to this place for 25 Yuan each. Entrance ticket 40 Yuan. There are not much left to be seen as they have been stolen and destroyed in the past by the invaders. Views of the whole area is very nice with mountains and stream. When going into each cave, visitors are not allowed to take pictures or touch. The way down to more caves were locked so we only could view from above. We walked around inside the cave area for 45 minutes, didn't ride camel or jeep up to the opposite mountains. When exiting, a security staff called a car for us to come back to our hotel in Turpan for 100 Yuan. I guess the distance is about 30km from town. There's a convenience store at the entrance and a large toilet at the back.

    It is worth more than the attraction of Flame Mountain. There are several places on the way to park and take pictures. Although many grottoes in Qianfo Cave are locked and the door is not allowed to see, the entire complex can also have a certain viewing. The murals in the cave are basically destroyed. There is nothing, and I can see a little bit. There is a big sand dunes across the road across the parking lot of this attraction. It is good to climb to the dunes to take pictures. There are also stone monuments of Fire Mountain.

    It was not open at all, but the ticket was a lot of money. The village Maza was also under maintenance. You can see it up close. I didn’t see the pilgrims. The whole village was very small. I finished shopping in half an hour.

    Tuyugou Qianfo Cave is located about 55 kilometers southeast of Turpan, Xinjiang, and belongs to Tuyugou Township, Shanshan County. The original caves were all cut on the high mountain cliffs on both sides of the mouth of Tuyugou. Most of the caves have collapsed, and only 8 caves still have some murals left. Many scriptures from the third, fifth and sixth centuries have been found here. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tubugou Grottoes were one of the Buddhist sites fully operated by the highest ruling group in the Gaochang Kingdom. By the Tang Dynasty, the Buddhist caves on both sides of the Tubugou Grand Canyon had further developed, and the Buddhist mural art condensed in each cave had also developed to a new stage. According to the Tang Dynasty literature "Xizhou Tujing" unearthed in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, the Tuyugou was a fairyland on earth.

    Turpan must punch in l antique store - Flame Mountain - Tuyugou To be honest, I didn't feel too much ethnic architecture in Urumqi along the way, which was a little regrettable. But driving to Turpan is different. The last stop was Salt Lake, and we continued to drive east. The first thing you can feel in the garden antique store-Flame Mountain-Grand Canyon-Tuyugou is that the main soil of the peak gradually becomes red, and the "Flame Mountain" has this red color in addition to the hotness. 1 Positioning "Hongyun Store" is next to the antique store of the Internet celebrity grandfather. The grandfather is very friendly. If he takes pictures, he will remind him to close the door to see better. There are many old things in the store, it is worth seeing if there are old objects that you like. 2 Food supply! The "Kohsi Makla roast buns" 1 km nearby is a must! 3 yuan a, the skin is crispy and thin, and the mutton pieces inside are full of fragrant and tender! Pack 10 and take away! 3 "Flame Mountain Scenic Area" this attraction really feels... Anyway, I didn't get off the bus, just took a look at the car, there were tourists queuing in at the door, there were several sculptures and thermometers inside, and a look in the distance was actually enough. 4 "Tuyugou Mazha Village" way Tuyugou Grand Canyon is the most mysterious place in the west, Tuyugou Thousand Buddha Cave Buddhist culture and Xinjiang style architecture blend, is a place of integration of various religious cultures. Named "Chinese historical and cultural village" Mazha Village, Tuyugou is the oldest Uighur village in Xinjiang, which has been more than 1700 years old, and still maintains the oldest public city of Uighurs (one less than one, one less than one, one less than one
