Introducing Tiānshuǐ

Located near one of the legendary cradles of Chinese civilisation, Tiānshuǐ is famous for the nearby Buddhist caves at Màijī Shān and the less interesting Fu Xi Temple in Qínchéng. Booming Tiānshuǐ is the second-largest municipality in Gānsù, but it’s not too overwhelming and is a pleasant first stop for those following the Silk Road west. Of note are the ancient cypress trees, some more than 1000 years old, growing in the temples of Qínchéng.
