Maijishan Grottoes

I set out on a mission to travel the starting points of the historical silk road, as a solo traveler who speaks very little Chinese. This opportunity put me at the forefront of seeing some places that seem far flung from the mass cities in the east. Maijishan Grottoes are carved into the beautiful mountain the rises from the ground, high into the sky. There are intricately carved designs and Buddhas on this beautiful mountain, that allowed travelers to stop, rest and pray for good passage. On the day I arrived, the weather was bad, so you couldn't climb the grottoes themselves, but to see this beautiful place is worth it. I stayed in the village just outside of the scenic area, I suggest for any future travelers, you visit the city of Tianshui, and take a bus or a taxi to the scenic area. #historicculture#naturalwonders#culturalattractions#nationalpark#hiking
