No wonder it's called the land of grottoes! I was amazed by a county in Gansu!

Some say that grottoes are the carvings of time and culture. Looking back at the 3,000-year-old grotto art corridor, the sculptures on the cliffs 🗿 make the desolate cliffs come alive. Gansu is a huge treasure trove of grotto art. In Gangu County, Tianshui, there is a palace on a cliff - Daxiang Mountain. Built on the cliff, layer by layer, you can experience the holy land of Buddhism and enjoy the scenery of Gangu. · 💐 How to play? 👇 ✨️ Daxiang Mountain is a national 4A-level tourist attraction. There are many ancient temples and stone carvings on the mountain, such as the Great Buddha Grotto, Thousand Buddha Cave, and Arhat Hall. Visitors can experience the profound Buddhist culture here and overlook the entire Gangu County! 🔔 The Great Buddha Grotto is the core attraction of Daxiang Mountain in Gangu. There is a 23.3-meter-high stone clay sculpture of the Great Buddha in the grotto, which is one of the largest existing grotto statues in northern China. The Great Buddha is dignified and solemn, majestic, and gives a strong visual impact. · ‼️ How to get there? 📍 Address: Wulipu Village, Daxiangshan Town, Gangu County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province ⏰️ Opening hours: 08:00–18:00 daily ⛳️ Ticket price: CNY 30/person (adult) CNY 15/person (half price) ✅️ Ticket purchase Visitors can purchase tickets directly at the visitor center or ticket office at the entrance.
