Introduction to Horseshoe Grottoes Horseshoe Grottoes consists of seven buildings: Guo Sheng Temple, Puguang Temple, Thousand Buddha Cave, Jinta Temple and Upper, Middle and Lower Guanyin Cave.
Horseshoe Temple Cave Group is located in Zhangye City, Gansu Province. It is said that the name of Horseshoe Temple comes from the footprints of horses left here by Tianma.
Such horseshoe prints are said to be in the horseshoe hall of Puguang Temple, and they have also become a treasure in the temple.
Horseshoe Temple Cave Group is composed of seven caves, namely Horseshoe Temple North, Horseshoe Temple South, Thousand Buddha Cave, Jinta Temple, Upper Guanyin Cave, Middle Guanyin Cave and Lower Guanyin Cave.
According to the investigation, this cave group was built in the period of Five Lakes and Sixteen Countries. Because of the age, the preservation of grottoes is not optimistic! The grottoes are badly damaged, and many statues in the grottoes have disappeared!
You can see colorful flags under the horseshoe temple grottoes, which is the characteristic of Tibetan Buddhism.
Tibetan Buddhism is all in the rock wall, which also leads to some grottoes without stairs, so they can only look at it from a distance but not from a close distance. Even if there are steps in the hole, every step forward will become difficult, and the most painful place needs both hands and feet.
Tickets for horseshoe temple need to be ordered one day in advance, and there are no other items that need to be charged in the scenic spot, so I like it for the scenic spot.
Sun Buddha Festival Horseshoe Temple Sun Buddha Festival is well known and has a long history. Not only local people, but also people from Qinghai and neighboring provinces and cities will gather here on the festival day.
On the day of the Sun Buddha Festival, pilgrims spontaneously gathered into an adult stream, from the foot of the mountain to the 33-day grottoes at the top of the mountain.
The monks of Horseshoe Temple invited Thangka in the temple, and the worshippers and believers followed in the footsteps of the monks and slowly walked to the Buddha-drying platform.
The pilgrims came here with their own wishes and wanted to make a wish in front of the Buddha.
Monks held a blessing ceremony in front of the incense table, and everyone presented Hada to Thangka for blessing.
On the day of the Sun Buddha Festival, farmers and herdsmen in Horseshoe Tibetan Township rushed to Ebo, a scenic spot, with sacrifices such as Hada, mutton, highland barley wine and milk, and presented Hada and sacrifices to Thangka.
The venerable Lama will start to burn incense and light a fire, chanting and praying. There seems to be a prayer wheel in the back.
