9 things you must know before going to Dazu Rock Carvings: Its perfection far exceeds Longmen Grottoes

When traveling to Chongqing, besides the urban area, many people will choose attractions such as Wulong Tiankeng, but do you know? In Dazu District of Chongqing, there is a treasure grotto that shocks the world, which is Dazu Rock Carvings. Sculpture art and ancient architecture lovers must know the following seven things before going to Dazu Rock Carvings: 1. Not only Baoding Mountain Rock Carvings in Dazu Rock Carvings are worth seeing, but also Beishan Rock Carvings in Dazu urban area are more exquisite in knife work; Nanshan, Shizhuan Mountain, and Shimen Mountain also have time to visit. 2. Individual visitors to Dazu Rock Carvings can rent an electronic explainer without hiring a guide, but they need to confirm the return point on the map in advance, otherwise it will be a waste of time. Maybe you can not rent it, go to each mouth and listen to the explanation after scanning, it is a bit more expensive at 10 yuan each time. 3. During the Spring Festival and other winter times, the main scenic area Baoding Mountain Rock Carvings to Beishan bus stops at 3:00 in the afternoon, so it is best to drive by yourself. 4. The statues of Dazu Rock Carvings have gone through the early Tang, late Tang, and Five Dynasties. The main statues are works of the two Song Dynasties. There are also additions in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is the only world cultural heritage in Chongqing. 5. The completeness and exquisiteness of Dazu Rock Carvings are much higher than those of Longmen Grottoes. The exquisiteness is probably only comparable to Dunhuang. It's just that the height of the statue is not as high as Longmen and Yungang Grottoes, and the age is not as old as Yungang. 6. If time is not enough, there is no need to buy a joint ticket, just buy a ticket for the main scenic area Baoding Mountain Rock Carvings. If you have time, you must go to Beishan at least. 7. The package ticket you buy will include a digital movie ticket. Be sure to check the time in advance and don't miss it. The digital movie is still very shocking. 8. Transportation: There is a direct bus from Chongqing North Station to Dazu. After arriving, you can take a bus directly to Baoding Mountain. 9. Remember to check the location of the chicken-raising woman sculpture in the junior high school textbook in advance. It is in the first cave of Baoding Mountain's six reincarnations.
