Maijishan Grottoes Review

Speaking of Tianshui, the most famous is the Maijishan Grottoes with Luoyang Longmen Grottoes, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Datong Yungang Grottoes and the Maijishan Grottoes. The three famous caves in front have been visited. This time, the Tianshui stop is for Maijishan Grottoes. Maijishan Grottoes Art is famous for its exquisite clay sculpture art, and has the reputation of "Oriental Sculpture Hall". The statue here reflects the different characteristics of statues in various eras over thousands of years, and systematically reflects the development and evolution of clay sculpture art in China. Thousands of round plastics similar to life size, extremely rich in life fun, showing the strong national consciousness and secularization trend at that time, Maijishan Grottoes are of course a place that can't be missed in Tianshui anyway. It is still very convenient to go from Tianshui City to Maijishan Grottoes. There are 34 buses directly to the scenic spot (5 yuan/person) at the railway station, and the drive is about 40 minutes. I want to slow down Maiji Mountain, so I will go out to catch the bus at 8 o'clock. Maiji Mountain Scenic Area is open at 9 o'clock. The bus is just right when it arrives at the scenic spot. Traveling on a staggered peak, there are not many individual customers, and the team is the main body. The ticket office only sells 80 yuan tickets for Maijishan Grottoes, but there are stalls selling joint tickets outside the ticket office, including Maijishan Grottoes tickets + round-trip shuttle bus + fairy cliff tickets + round-trip shuttle bus fees (why can't you buy a joint ticket in the lobby, I really don't understand this operation rule), There is a three-kilometer cement road from the gate to the attraction. The one-way car is also ten yuan. Calculating the price, decisively chose the package A, 128 yuan transaction, the whole process can be brushed ID card. Get off the shuttle bus and brush the ID card on the grotto. Maiji Mountain tickets are also divided into two types: 20 yuan/person, can only be seen at the foot of the mountain, can not see the grottoes. 90 yuan/person, you can go around under the mountain, and you can see the grottoes (ordinary grottoes. In addition, there are many special caves, which need to be paid separately. The price is different, as if 100-300 a cave. Explain 50 yuan per person at least, depending on the number of people. I am not pursuing you, so even if the special caves are (well, it is mainly too expensive), I saw enough ordinary caves, I stayed in the grotto group for almost four hours before coming down. Visiting experience: Maijishan Grottoes are definitely worth visiting. Although it is a ticket for ordinary caves, you can also see many caves, and the preservation is very good, and the statues are also very beautiful. I remember to see Mogao Grottoes back then. It seemed that only a few were opened, and it was over without looking clearly. The point of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is the mural, then the sculpture of Maijishan Grottoes is the biggest point of view, and it is mud. There are still 10632 clay-plastic stone carvings in the 221 caves in existence. Different forms, lifelike. Maijishan Grottoes were carved in the north and south 1500 years ago, and Buddhism introduced into China during the Han Dynasty was also popular at this time. Three of the four grottoes were carved in the northern Wei period, Yungang Grottoes, and Longmen Grottoes.
