Containing around 200 caves, 4,000 Buddhist sculptures and 1,000 square meters of murals, the Maiji Mountain Grottoes are one of the four great grottoes in China forming an outdoor "Oriental Sculpture Museum." Located in Tianshui City, Gansu Province, the origins of the grottoes can be traced back more than 1,600 years. Largely carved into cliffs, the area offers an incomparable showcase of Chinese art, culture and architecture. #SharedFuture10Years #TheNewSilkRoad #FunChina #Heritage #Travel |
