What travelers say:

One of the four towns in Anxi, the ancient Silk Road fortress, the Buddhist center of "Yuan" County, is located in seven Xingzhen, and the site of the Buddha Temple is very close to the expressway Ziniquan toll station. The north and south are about 500 meters long and the east and west are about 200 meters wide. The front yard and back caves have spring water and reeds. Built in the Jin Dynasty, about 1700 years old. Xuanxu and other high monks have visited or preached. Aka "Mingwu", Uighur meaning "thousand rooms", is enough to reflect the prosperity of the cultural exchange between East and West Buddhism. After the storms of the past, especially the looting of the "explorers" of the modern empires, there are 93 remaining houses and 11 grottoes. However, its unique art form and blended culture are still an important historical landscape to understand the Western culture and the Silk Road.
