Poetic Tianshui | Ancient Charm and Modern Style, a Place for the Soul

With its ancient charm and modern style, Tianshui is like a hidden paradise in the depths of time.

From the legends of the ancestors of China, to the Zen sounds of ancient temples in the mountains and forests, to the Buddhist shadows of the stone caves on the cliffs, a poetic encounter with history and nature is waiting for you.

🌲 Step into Fuxi Temple, where ancient cypress trees stand like guards, watching over the years. As you enter the solemn and majestic halls, a sense of awe arises. Gently touch the stone tablets, and the legends of the origin of China seem to awaken from your fingertips, with ancient wisdom shining brightly in the hexagrams.

⛰️ Nanguo Temple is hidden in the mountains and forests, and walking along the winding mountain road is like stepping into a landscape painting. As you wander through the gardens, the clear and mirror-like Beiliu Spring once reflected the talent of Du Fu. Find a pavilion, brew a cup of Longnan spring tea, watch the pine waves dance, listen to the birds sing, and immerse yourself in this poetic world.

✨ Maijishan Grottoes are like a Buddhist paradise suspended on a cliff, with thousands of Buddha statues with flowing robes and compassionate eyes, and the plank road seems like a heavenly path leading people to explore.

The craftsmen's devotion and skill are all condensed in these exquisite clay sculptures. Choose a miniature Buddha statue as a souvenir, and on the way back at sunset, the poetry of Tianshui has already left an impression on your heart, full of the excitement of the fusion of history and nature.
