Gansu Zhangye | Is the Matisi Temple worth the best guide?

Gansu Zhangye | Is the Matisi Temple worth the best guide? |||| At Matisi Temple, you can learn and experience Tibetan and Southern Yugur culture, appreciate cave art, enjoy the scenery of Qilian Snow Mountain from afar, and personally experience climbing caves. I think it's really worth a visit!!! Tickets ▪️ Basic ticket: Adult 67r, Student/Elderly 37r Natural scenery, Thousand Buddha Caves, King Gesar Hall, Matisi North Temple Grottoes (33 Heavens Grottoes, Matisi Temple, Tibetan Buddha Temple, North and South Sitting Buddha Temples) (excluding parking fees, Jinta Temple, Special Caves 1-4) ▪️ Full package ticket: 415r Route: Thousand Buddha Caves - Special Caves 1-4 - Matisi North Temple - Jinta Temple East and West Boutique Special Caves ▪️ Jinta Temple and Matisi Temple package ticket: 335rmb Route: Thousand Buddha Caves - Matisi North Temple - Jinta Temple East and West Boutique Special Caves ▪️ Others: 1. Matisi Special Caves 1-4 (tickets purchased separately): 80r 2. Jinta Temple (reservation required): 300r ⏰ Play time: Matisi Temple Grottoes: Half a day Matisi Temple Grottoes and Jinta Temple: A full day is more relaxed ️ I chose the basic ticket. Here are my feelings and introductions to some basic ticket attractions️ Thousand Buddha Caves: The passage to the Medicine Buddha Hall is the hardest to climb, with a vertical 90-degree angle, making your legs weak after climbing down, haha. 33 Heavens Grottoes: The climbing difficulty is not high because the number of people going up each time is limited, so there are many people queuing during the peak season. It is the most famous and iconic building of the Matisi Temple Grottoes. However, the damage here is also shocking, as you can clearly see tourists scribbling on the walls. Entrance: King Gesar Hall 🈶 Horse riding, a vast grassland is very impressive, and you can also see the snow-capped mountains️. It is said that King Gesar is the incarnation of Guru Rinpoche, who spent his life as a warhorse, promoting good and suppressing evil, spreading Buddhism, and promoting ethnic culture. ️ Tips: 1. About 60 kilometers from the city center, public transportation is inconvenient. It is recommended to charter a car/self-drive/join a tour group. 2. 🈶 Climbing and drilling holes, girls should not wear skirts/shorts, mainly sportswear! 3. It must be mainly casual sportswear, and no slippers. 4. It is recommended not to come during the peak season, as the queues are very long and you have to wait for a long time.
