Maijishan, also known as Maijiya, was founded in the sixteen countries in the late Qin Dynasty (AD 384-4 17). In this area, there are many bamboos, green mountains and rivers, surrounded by peaks, and wheat fields rise from the ground, which is beautiful. Known in ancient times as "the crown of bamboo in Qin Dynasty", it is a strange peak in Xiaolongshan Mountain at the western end of Qinling Mountains in China, with an altitude of1742m and 30km away from Tianshui Railway Station.

The height of the mountain is only 142 meters, but the shape of the mountain is very strange. The lonely peak rises like a wheat pile, so people call it McKee Mountain. The southwest of the mountain peak is a cliff, and the famous Maijishan Grottoes are dug on this cliff, some twenty or thirty meters away from the foot of the mountain, and some seventy or eighty meters away. It is rare to dig hundreds of caves and Buddha statues on such a steep cliff in China. According to historical records, Gao Xuan and Tan Hong, famous Zen monks, once gave lectures here, "gathering 300 monks". During the Northern Wei, Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasties, there were thousands of statues of Daxing Cliff Pavilion. Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties all had continuous excavation or reconstruction. Despite being damaged by many earthquakes and fires in history, 65,438+094 caves, more than 7,800 clay sculptures and stone carvings, more than 65,438+0,000 square meters of murals and 8 pagodas in the Northern Dynasties have been preserved.

The scenery around Maiji Mountain is beautiful, and the mountain is covered with cypress, pine and wild flowers. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see lush green hills around you. I can only see Qian Shan with mountains and valleys, pines like the sea, and misty clouds. The distant scenery is intertwined, forming a beautiful picture scroll, known as the "wheat accumulation and misty rain" at the head of the eight scenic spots in Tianshui.
