Intl influencers unveil Wuwei's nature, culture

"It's a beautiful retreat to nature, and it's one of my philosophies in life — wherever there is water, there is life; so if you want to reconnect to nature, this is an amazing place," he said at Binggou River Scenic Area.

At the Suwu Desert Scenic Area in Minqin county, endless dunes unfolded before them, punctuated by striking sculptures promoting green living, environmental protection, and humanity's coexistence with nature.

Wuwei's soul resides not only in its land but in the masterpieces shaped by human hands — a cultural legacy waiting to be unearthed.

At the Leitai Han Culture Museum known for the famous Galloping Bronze Horse — a testament to ancient China's artistic brilliance — the influencers marveled at intricate bronze and pottery artifacts whispering tales of a bygone era.

In the Tiantishan Grottoes, known as the Liangzhou Grottoes, carved into cliffs over 1,600 years ago, they wandered in front of ancient Buddhist statues, moved by the tranquility and spirit etched into stone.

Brazilian photographer Thales Saque drew a compelling parallel between the giant Buddha statue and Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado Mountain, noting that both embody universal themes of love, spiritual improvement, and the shared human impulse to express profound ideas about art, civilization, and emotion through monumental sculpture.

Wuwei's true magic lingered in quiet moments — the weight of history in their hands, the rich taste of yak butter on their tongues, and the memory of strangers becoming kin.

Somewhere beneath Maya Snow Mountain or before the Tiantishan Grottoes, the Silk Road's whispers still beckon — waiting for the next traveler to listen.
