Introduction

Located about 25 kilometers northeast of Wushan County in Tianshui City, Gansu Province, the Water Curtain Cave is a natural cave with a height of about 50 meters and a depth of more than 20 meters. The cave is constantly flowing all year round, and during rainy days, the water flows straight down from the eaves of the cave, hence the name. The scenic area also includes attractions such as the Lashao Temple, the Qianfo Cave, and the Xiansheng Pool. It is a famous grotto group that is as well-known as the Maiji Mountain Grottoes in Tianshui, and a Buddhist art holy place on the south road of the ancient "Silk Road" in the upper reaches of the Wei River. The Lashao Temple has the largest outdoor cliff relief Buddha in Asia. The scenic area also preserves more than 100 carved statues from various dynasties, more than 2000 square meters of murals, more than 10 buildings, 8 stupas, 10 inscriptions, and an untreated mummy.
