At the foot of the mountain, you can see small caves scattered on the cliff, and several larger caves are inlaid with several Buddhist temples.
The Thousand Buddha Cave is a Buddhist temple in the Han Dynasty, where the costumes of monks and temple buildings are also in the style of Chinese Buddhism. There are many Buddhist temples carved along the mountains, and there are also many Buddha statues carved directly along the stone walls. Interested friends can visit the shrine one by one.
These caves and temples can not only be seen at the foot of the mountain, but also friends who are afraid of heights can go up the mountain along the built pedestrian walkway and have a close look at the inside. I believe this way of entering the Buddhist temple is also a wonderful experience.
In Buddhist temples, you can often see the word "Amitabha in the south", but most people can't pronounce it correctly. The word "Nanwu" is pronounced as "nā mó" to show respect for Buddha and Bodhisattva.
Standing on the mountain, you can overlook the opposite Qilian Mountain. It was late spring and early summer, and the snow on Qilian Mountain had not completely melted. Between heaven and earth, snow-capped mountains, temples, caves, prayer flags and other factors combine to make people fascinated.
The Buddhist temples on each rock wall do not exist independently. Some of their connections can be reached by plank roads, while others need to climb in dark passages carved out of stone walls.
If walking on the plank road is an ordinary travel experience, walking around in a narrow cave is a rare adventure.
On the Gobi Desert in the northwest of China, green plants are a pleasing scenery. Around the Thousand Buddha Cave Temple, a circle of trees was planted. Among the evergreen trees, there is a quiet quadrangle temple. Standing on the plank road and looking down, you can see everything.
The picture shows the temple gate of Thousand Buddha Cave. The temple gate is very new It is estimated that it is newly built and needs manpower and material resources to build it. It is estimated that tickets will be collected separately in the future. However, it is really difficult to maintain the cave attractions. If the entrance fee can protect the precious cave culture well, it is also worth it.
Thousand Buddha Cave belongs to Horseshoe Temple Scenic Area in Sunan Yugur Autonomous County. After visiting horseshoe temple, you can stop by. Because the cliff stone carvings belong to coarse red sandstone, it is not easy to carve, so the Buddha statues in the grottoes are mostly clay sculptures, which are difficult to preserve, which shows their great value.
When we look at a building, we think it is beautiful, because it is born with a sense of contradiction, and once this sense of contradiction is balanced, it will show a tension.
This "tension" is a kind of beauty. In people's impression, temples should be located in downtown areas, mixed with fireworks. The Thousand-Buddha Cave, on the other hand, is built with its back against a heaped-up mountain and attached to it.
However, this structure of great wisdom has increased artistic value and desolation, which is even more impressive.
