Tangut Discoveries at the Shanzuigou Caves
https://www.babelstone.co.uk/Blog/2020/07/shanzuigou.html
The Shanzuigou Caves (Shānzuǐgōu shíkū 山嘴沟石窟) are a Buddhist complex comprising six natural caves in the sides of a valley on the eastern flank of the Helan Mountains, about 20 km west of the centre of Yinchuan as the crow flies. Yinchuan is now the capital of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China, but nearly a thousand years ago it was the capital of the Western Xia kingdom (1038–1227) of the Tangut people.
The Shanzuigou valley opens onto the Ningxia plain by Tombs 5 and 6 of the Western Xia imperial tombs, about 7 km from the western edge of the urban centre, and the caves are reportedly situated about 10 km into the valley, although from the position given in Google Maps they seem to be closer to 8 km from the valley mouth along the winding valley.
