Mati Temple

The city of Zhangye is truly underrated, and we will definitely visit again. Besides the Rainbow Mountains, Mati Temple is often overlooked on typical tourist itineraries. Our first impression of Mati Temple was simply stunning! Don't miss it when you visit the Hexi Corridor!
Experience the faith and wisdom of people who carved these caves out of the mountains 1,600 years ago.
Dynasties change,
but the Buddha remains.

Attraction Introduction
Mati Temple is one of the four great Hanging Temples, but compared to the Hanging Temple of Hengshan in Datong, Shanxi, I was even more amazed by Mati Temple.
Mati Temple—officially known as the Mati Temple Grottoes, is a large complex containing several attractions, including the Thirty-Three Heavens Grottoes, Thousand Buddha Caves, and Golden Pagoda Temple.

Basic Tour: Thirty-Three Heavens Grottoes + Thousand Buddha Caves
In-depth Tour Route: Thousand Buddha Caves - Prayer Bridge - Thousand Buddha Caves No. 1-4 Grottoes (Special Grottoes) - Mati Temple North Grottoes - Golden Pagoda Temple East and West Grottoes (Special Grottoes)
