This is one of the attractions in the Horseshoe Temple Scenic Area. You need to buy additional tickets. It takes more than half an hour to drive from the Horseshoe Temple Central Scenic Area. The scenic area is really too big. And it doesn't open every day.

Quintas is an attraction in the Horseshoe Temple scenic spot, but the distance is more than 20 kilometers, and it takes half an hour to drive. All are mountain roads, and it takes more than 20 people to make an appointment in advance.

I saw this colorful three-dimensional sky at the Zhangye Museum. I was directly amazed. I asked the museum administrator to know that the collection is from Jinta Temple. And it can be photographed in the museum. I am lucky to see it. The costume of the sky is obviously also with the western style, it can be seen that the time is earlier, and the posture of the sky is also closer to the early form of India. It can be seen that it is earlier than the Dunhuang sky, and the three-dimensional feeling is stronger, the color is more vivid, it is really great.

Photographing is prohibited here. With the permission of the cultural relics administrator, Mr. Zhou, we took a few precious pictures with a pad without flashing lights and ended up in a nearly two-hour visit. We can't but admire the exquisite skills of the ancients and marvel at the piety of the Buddhist believers. Fortunately, this place is remote and not known. The cultural relics are still very well preserved. I heard from the cultural relics administrator that it was not open to the public before. Now in order to promote the development of local tourism, each ticket is 200 yuan, and an appointment is required in advance. Only those engaged in cultural relics research and academic research are invited to visit.
