Tianti Mountain is located in Dengshan Village, Zhonglu Township, 50 kilometers south of the city. The mountain is majestic, steep and high, and there are stone steps on the mountain. The road is rugged and shaped like a hanging ladder, so it is called Tianti Mountain. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, commonly known as "Tianti Mountain". Snow on the ladder ", is one of the eight scenic spots in Liangzhou. Tianti Mountain Grottoes, also known as Liangzhou Grottoes, are located between the cliffs on the south side of the mountain. The giant Buddha in the grottoes sits on the mountain, and there is a temple under the grottoes. It was founded in the Northern Liang during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and has a history of about 1,600 years.
