Tianshui Accommodations

Tianshui is the second largest city in Gansu province in northwest China. Its population is approximately 3,500,000. Tianshui lies along the route of the ancient Northern Silk Road and was once the first stop that the Silk Road made upon entering the Gansu Province. The nearby scenic spots are the Maijishan filled with thousands of Buddhist sculptures. It represented by figures as Sakyamuni and Avalokitesvara, produced in as early as the Wei Dynasty and as late as the Song Dynasty by Buddhist monks who first came here via the North Silk Road. Later work was continued by local Buddhists, for worship purposes.
