    "The scenery is beautiful, the excavation project of the grotto is very great, but the sculpture mural has been destroyed. From the special cave of 1~ No. 4 (untapped, no photos are allowed), you can imagine the scene of the entire cave area through explanations and leftover sculpture murals. This time I only saw the Thousand Buddha Cave, the Horseshoe Hall, the 33-day Grottoes and the 1~ No. 4 special Grottoes. I don't know the situation of other Grottoes."

    Highlights: Mati Temple, otherwise called Puguang Temple, is situated in the Sunan Yugu Autonomous County inside the Qilian Mountains and the immense cave temple complex. On the stone divider, there are various Buddhist statues for present thousand years, and there are skyscraper temples and hollows. It is extremely breathtaking and marvelous. There are temples of Chinese Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhist temples here. The style of a similar place is extraordinary and it is exceptionally one of a kind. There are various amazing landmarks, for example, the paintings and Buddha statues in the cloister, which are fantastic.

    Highlights: The Qilian Mountains are located on the junction between the western Gansu Province and the northeastern Qinghai Province in China. "Qilian" means heaven in the Xiongnu language, so Qilian Mountain means Tianshan in the Xiongnu language. The flowing water from the melting snow on the top of the mountain gave birth to the oases on the Gobi, such as Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiayuguan, Jiuquan, etc. on the north side of the Hexi Corridor, opened up the connection between the inland and the Western Regions, and the Silk Road came into being. Culture also comes from this. In the Qinghai area on the south side of the mountain, due to the barrier and retention of humid air and rainwater by the Qilian Mountains, there are fertile areas with lush water and grass such as Huzhu, Menyuan, and Qilian County, and the beautiful Qinghai Lake also exists because of this. Qilian Mountain is one of the most important mountain ranges in Northwest China, and it is also the most important landscape and cultural relics in the northwest, which are related to the existence of Qilian Mountain. The Qilian Mountains have a vast border, connecting with Altun Mountains at the west end and Qinling Mountains and Liupan Mountains at the east end, with a length of more than 1,000 kilometers. Not counting the scenic spots created by the Qilian Mountains, there are many scenic spots just to play in the Qilian Mountains, which are distributed in many areas in Gansu and Qinghai provinces.
