Mati Shikuqun Tourist Area 马蹄石窟群旅游区
Choose Mati Temple’s cave complex when you want a built religious space embedded in a mountain setting. Select the visitor areas your group can comfortably reach and keep the cave interiors as the focus, with the landscape giving them context. This is a different choice from a level museum visit or the broad viewpoints of Rainbow Danxia. Allow a substantial part of the day for the journey and visit, and ask about the open cave route before committing if anyone has difficulty with steps or confined passages.
