Shocking! Dama Ancient Cave: Nanjing's Mogao Grottoes?

Nanjing's hidden gem—Dama Ancient Cave—is definitely a niche spot you can't miss on your travels! Built against the mountain and standing by the river, it is not only one of the ancient Forty-eight Scenic Spots of Jinling, but also leaves people in awe with its unique scenery. Here, you feel as if you are in the wonderful world of a mini Dunhuang, where even on non-holiday days, you can enjoy tranquility and serenity. Spring in Dama Ancient Cave has a unique charm. With lush green leaves and blooming cherry blossoms, every step is a beautiful painting. In such an environment, whether you're taking photos of the landscape or portraits, you can easily capture stunning images and create unforgettable memories. Standing in front of the divine statues, we may feel our own insignificance, but it is this very feeling that helps us understand the true essence of life. It is only through our own efforts that we can gradually make life better. Dama Ancient Cave is not just a tourist attraction, but also a place for deep reflection. Getting to Dama Ancient Cave is convenient. You can take subway line 7 to Yanziji Station and then transfer to bus 101, or take subway line 3 to Shangyuanmen Station and then take a taxi. The ticket price is 30 yuan, which is absolutely worth it. In addition to the 101 Buddha niches on the outside, the Light and Shadow Art Gallery inside the cave is not to be missed. Under the interplay of light and shadow, the statues and murals seem to come to life, displaying a mysterious and majestic beauty. Stepping into the Light and Shadow Art Gallery, you will be deeply attracted by the artistic atmosphere, as if you are in a dreamlike world.
