Clinging to the cliffs of Maijishan, the narrow stairways that wind between the grottoes are as unforgettable as the Buddhas themselves. These steep, winding stairs take you along the mountain’s edge, where every turn reveals another breathtaking view — ancient carvings, colorful murals, and serene statues gazing over the valley 🌄🙏.
It’s both thrilling and peaceful — your heart beats from the height, but your mind calms with the quiet presence of history surrounding you. The Maijishan Grottoes, carved over 1,500 years ago, are a masterpiece of faith and human skill, and climbing their stairs feels like ascending through time itself 🕰️✨
