In addition to spicy hot pot, Tianshui is a must-visit

🌄Explore the Oriental Sculpture Museum, an exquisite journey to Maijishan Grottoes✨ Hey friends, today I want to reveal the treasure of Tianshui, Gansu—Maijishan Grottoes! This is not just a trip, but a feast of art spanning thousands of years!🎉 👣Walking into Maijishan feels like stepping into a historical painting. The mountain is steep, and the grottoes are densely packed, each one hiding stories and exquisite art from thousands of years ago. From the Northern Zhou to the Sui and Tang dynasties, from the Northern Wei to the Ming and Qing dynasties, craftsmen from different eras have left their wisdom and efforts here.🖌️ 👀Look at those clay Buddha statues, lifelike, with every line revealing the unique ingenuity of the craftsmen. And the colorful murals, though weathered by a thousand years, remain as vibrant as ever, making one marvel at the ancient artisans' superb skills!🎨 📸Don't forget to take out your phone and capture these breathtaking moments. Whether it's the majestic East Cliff Buddha or the exquisite Thousand Buddha Corridor, they are perfect spots for photos!📷 🚶‍♀️Walking on the steep plank road may be a bit thrilling, but the feeling of conversing with the ancients is exhilarating. Standing at the top of the mountain and overlooking the entire scenic area, the beauty of grandeur and tranquility intertwined makes one feel refreshed! 💖Maijishan Grottoes not only let me appreciate the charm of ancient art but also made me feel the weight of history and the depth of culture. If you love traveling and art, this place is definitely worth visiting again and again!🌟
