Senmusaimu Thousand Buddha Caves

The fourth batch of key national cultural relics protection units, in the Guizi Grottoes group, the third scale, after Keqier and Kumtula, is located in a ditch in Kuktage Mountain 40 kilometers northeast of Kuqa County. "Senmu Sem" is a Wei language, meaning "there is fine water out". The caves are distributed in the horseshoe-shaped valley. According to the geographical location, they can be divided into five districts, East, South, West, North and Central. There are 57 caves in the existing number, and the central area is a ground monastery site.

Even if you can enter the visit, you can't take pictures in the cave. In addition, Baidu map and Trip.com positioning are wrong! Deviation is more than tens of kilometers! The actual location is in the mountains north of a group of Kezhixi Village. The wild dogs here are very fierce, and according to the clerk, there are wolves infested nearby. Be careful for individual visitors...

Although the number of caves here is not as large as the Kyrgios Thousand Buddha Caves, the time span here is very large, and it is said to contain the whole process of the entire Kyrgios culture. The murals and caves are very simple, and some places feel very similar to the Kyrgios. Standing here, it has a feeling of time and space crossing, highly recommended.
