Gansu Tianshui | Xianren Cliff | Deep mountain cliff

🎈Maiji Mountain Scenic Area consists of five sub-scenic areas: Maiji Mountain Grottoes, Xianren Cliff, Stone Gate, Qu Creek, and Jieting Hot Springs. After visiting the Maiji Mountain Grottoes, we took a taxi to Xianren Cliff 15 kilometers away. We passed through 18 bends in the mountain road. The driver's driving skills were quite good, and we didn't get carsick. Xianren Cliff Scenic Area is composed of three cliffs, five peaks, six temples, and a Xianren Lake. It takes about 2 hours to climb down. 🕙Opening hours: 8:00-17:30 ⌚️Tour time: 12:30-14:50 💰Ticket price: 20 yuan/person 🚗Scenic area bus: round trip 10 yuan/person The recommended route for the scenic area is to go up the stone stairs (the stone stairs are steep and long), and down by the lake. Because we climbed the Maiji Mountain Grottoes in the morning and were already exhausted, we entered the mountain from the lake side, climbed the mountain slowly, and finally descended the mountain by the stone stairs. This route is for your reference. On the mountain of Xianren Cliff Scenic Area, you can still see clear mud sculptures and stupas in the grottoes. Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism have coexisted and developed together here for a long time, showing a unique aspect of religious culture. The scenic area has spectacular Danxia caves, Danxia sharp mountains, Danxia long cliffs and other Danxia landforms, combining the grandeur of the north and the beauty of the south. According to the identification of the Central Culture Department's survey team in 1953, the existing temples here are buildings and renovations from the Tang, Song, Ming, Qing and other dynasties, and some of the mud sculptures are works from the late Northern Wei Dynasty. For a long time, this has been a scenic spot where Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism coexist.
