"The Maijishan Grottoes...are a series of 194 caves cut in the side of the hill of Majishan in Tianshui, Gansu Province, northwest China. This example of rock cut architecture contains over 7,200 Buddhist sculptures and over 1,000 square meters of murals. Construction began in the Later Qin era (384-417 CE)." (Wikipedia) Follow this link to get to what I found to be the best site on Maiji.
