Maijishan Grottoes

Visiting Maijishan Grottoes in winter, there are few people. The color of Maijishan is monotonous, but it does not affect the visit to Maijishan Grottoes. A unique mountain peak shaped like a wheat ear, from the Northern Wei Dynasty, the ancients used the trees of Maijishan to stack up to more than 80 meters, and carved Buddha mud statues from top to bottom. After the efforts of several generations such as the Northern Wei and Northern Zhou, there are 194 grottoes, including 54 grottoes on the east cliff and 140 grottoes on the west cliff. There are more than 7800 mud sculptures, stone mud sculptures, and stone carvings. The largest statue, the Big Buddha on the east cliff, is 15.8 meters high, and there are more than 1000 square meters of murals. Maijishan Grottoes are famous for their danger, early establishment, and uniqueness.
