Visiting the Lanzhou Museum was a peaceful yet powerful experience. Among its many treasures, the Buddha statues stood out the most — calm, graceful figures carved from stone, bronze, and clay, each radiating serenity.
As I walked through the quiet halls, I was struck by how these statues reflected centuries of devotion and artistry. Some were from the Northern Wei and Tang dynasties, with intricate details showing the fusion of Chinese and Central Asian influences along the Silk Road.
Standing before them, it felt as if time paused — a moment of stillness amidst the city’s rush, where ancient spirituality met timeless craftsmanship.
