Tianshui Travel Guide

Welcome to Tianshui, a city where legends and landscapes come together. This ancient town in southeastern Gansu is best known for the stunning Maijishan Grottoes, one of China’s four great Buddhist cave sites.

But Tianshui offers more than sacred stone. Visit the historic Fuxi Temple, said to honor one of China’s mythical ancestors. Wander through local markets, sample spicy guagua (buckwheat jelly), and slurp bowls of sour jiangshui noodles. Every bite tells a story.

This guide will help you explore the real Tianshui—its hidden alleys, mountain trails, and cultural treasures. Whether you’re chasing history or just craving peace in the hills, this city has something special waiting for you.
