Explore the stone carvings! The beauty carved by the wind of the Tang and Song dynasties for a thousand years
"North Dunhuang, South Dazu." Before I went to see the Dazu stone carvings, I thought this sentence was just a saying, because Dunhuang is much more popular.
However, when you really come to Dazu and face the Buddha, you can vaguely see the wind of the Tang and Song dynasties for a thousand years.
Tens of thousands of exquisitely carved cliff statues are quietly hidden between the mountains.
It integrates the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, lifelike, breathtaking.
We just caught up with a rainy day, which added a layer of mist to the already mysterious stone carvings, and even my son said it felt like an outdoor adventure.

👨👩👦How to play?
The Dazu stone carvings began in the Tang Dynasty and are distributed in five areas: Baoding Mountain, North Mountain, South Mountain, Shizhuan Mountain, and Shimen Mountain. Now only Baoding Mountain and North Mountain are open.
1⃣️Baoding Mountain:
📌Recommend going to Baoding Mountain in the morning, watch digital movies (need to make an appointment when buying tickets), there are two, one is regular and one is spherical, a bit like Dunhuang.
📌Then take the sightseeing car to Baoding Mountain to see the main body of the stone carvings. All the iconic stone carvings are here.
📌After visiting Baoding Mountain, take a car to the Stone Carving Museum to learn more about stone carving culture.
2⃣️North Mountain:
It is about half an hour's drive from Baoding Mountain. You can drive by yourself or take a scenic shuttle bus. The statues here are earlier than Baoding Mountain, the scale is not large but very exquisite, there is a saying "Baoding is lively, North Mountain is the way".
And there is a night scene🌌 here, watching the stone carvings under the light at night has a more mysterious feeling, anyway, I dare not go alone.
3⃣️Li Family Ancestral Hall:
There is a small waterfall and a man-made reservoir here, those who like the outdoors can come and walk around.
4⃣️Mingshan Temple:
This is in Anyue, you need to drive by yourself, the scale is not large. But the reason why the stone carvings here🔥 are popular is that after being eroded by the wind, the Buddha statue has a horizontal texture, which is very artistic. If it is not well protected, maybe after many years, these stone carvings will merge with the rocks again and become their original appearance, a bit emotional.

The National Day holiday is coming soon, if you want to come to Sichuan and Chongqing to play, I recommend you to go to Dazu to see, experience the last monument in the history of world grotto art!
World Heritage, the national key cultural and environmental protection unit, the story inside must listen to the tour guide, so many stone carvings are still quite shocking, very worth visiting attractions, highly recommended.
It is definitely worth travelling almost two hours from Chongqing to Dazu Rock Carvings. I booked a tour to this site from a local travel agent in Chongqing. Dazu Rick Carvings is made up of five sites, but only cover two sites - Beishan and Baodingshan. The statues are exquisitely sculpted with distinctive style. Listed as the World Heritage List by UNESCO, this historical site a true masterpiece capturing the ancient inscriptions. It is a nice walk up the hill surrounded by trees. Reasons to Recommend: Edu-tour on Chinese history
It was a trip with family to Chongqing, China and we visited Dazu Rock Carving. We love it so much and would love to go back again.
The current scenic spot can't wait to build the gate outside ten miles, and Baoding Mountain is one of them. Today, I will introduce you to a good way to save money. 1. Self-driving friends and friends who take the car do not navigate Baoding Mountain Visitor Center, but to navigate to Baoding Police Station self-driving friends can park the car in front of the police station parking lot, free! Don't drive to the front to charge or privately take the 205 bus. Friends who get off the bus will press the cut head of Figure 1. Enter the door 2. After entering the door, you will see the east gate of Shengshou Temple. Don't go in. Follow Figure 2 and turn left against the red wall. You can go to the location of Figure 4. (I will see the sign in Figure 3) 3. See Figure 4, go to the museum first, free, and very worth it, I stayed in it for more than an hour, I don't want to leave 4. After leaving the museum, follow Figure 4 and walk for5-10 minutes to see another layer of gates in Baoding Mountain. Buy tickets here (it is recommended to buy online in advance), brush your face, enter, in the last big time play strategy, there are introductions that do not look at the student ID card door is here. 5. After entering Baoding Mountain, do not go back to the tour, this is the essence of the scenic spot 6. Go out of Baoding Mountain to the Holy Site Pool to see the big feet, then enter the north gate of Shengshou Temple to visit, and finally go out from the east gate, take 205 to the entrance of the police station or pick up the car and return 7. Friends who want to go to Beishan can take 205 to the visitor center. Take the shuttle bus to Beishan on the hour, the price is 3 yuan, pay attention to the hourly shift.
I took my parents to go. My father likes the attractions of humanistic monuments, so Dazu Stone Carvings must go to see it once. The most shocking thing is the thousand-hand Guanyin. It makes me feel afraid of solemnity. I have seen the wisdom of the ancients and traditional culture. I feel very magical. The digital films that start with you must first look at the monuments and then visit the monuments
very good. Before going to the attractions, you must watch the movie 🎬, and the movie visual effect is also very good 👍. The attractions are very good, but you must ask the tour guide or you will see only some stones. After you ask the tour guide, you will understand the history behind and the wisdom of the ancestors!
