I must go to Dafeng Daxiang Mountain in Tianshui this time.

Daxiang Mountain: You can overlook the entire Gangu from the top of the mountain. You must visit the grottoes. Although they are not as mysterious as the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang or as magnificent as the Maijishan Grottoes, they have a lot of content and are worth seeing. The Buddha is 23 meters tall and 9.5 meters wide at the shoulders. It has a solemn face and a heavy body. It is one of the few precious cultural relics in the large grottoes. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : The Giant Buddha Grottoes are located on Wenqi Mountain at the western end of the Qinling Mountains, 2.5 kilometers southwest of Gangu County. There are dense pines and cypresses here, and lilacs are everywhere. In a large cave on the cliffs of the mountain there is a giant stone-based clay Buddha from the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is one of the important cultural relics in southeastern Gansu on the ancient Silk Road that integrates grottoes and ancient buildings.
