Essential travel tips for Dazu Rock Carvings

Having visited the Karst scenic area in Chongqing, it's inevitable to visit the Dazu Rock Carvings, which are listed on the 'World Heritage List' by UNESCO. The transportation to Dazu Rock Carvings is very convenient, you can choose to take a bus or train to get there. Of course, for us tourists from other places, it's most convenient to find accommodation near the scenic spot... Arrive in Dazu District one night in advance, plan the route for tomorrow's trip, I think this is a must for travel, so as not to be in the dark on the day of the trip, not only tired to death, but also not going to the places that should be visited, this is the most loss-making. The Dazu Rock Carvings scenic area includes Beishan Rock Carvings, Baoding Mountain, Nanyan and other attractions. But due to the itinerary, you can't see the whole picture, so you must make a choice, we chose Baoding Mountain, which is our 'memory of the sea' , including the route of representative rock carvings such as 'Thousand-Hand Guanyin' and 'Reclining Buddha'. Baoding Mountain is mainly based on the Great Buddha Bay, which includes Small Buddha Bay, Guangda Mountain, Longtan, Songlin Slope and other places. The Great Buddha Bay is located in a mountain bay, with rock carvings on the cliff face. It is said that there are 31 giant statues and 17 inscriptions, with a total cliff face of about 3600 square meters. You can imagine how grand the project is. Rock carvings cannot be touched, and you should not make loud noises when viewing rock carvings. Also, you should visit within the specified time, turn off the flash when taking pictures, but I think when you are in such a profound and serious scene, besides feeling shocked, for us Chinese, there will be a sense of awe that makes us feel respectful and dare not act rashly. To appreciate our rock carving art, there are shops selling local specialty products in the scenic area. You can choose to buy some souvenirs, experience the local food and life, relax your tense mood from a day of travel, and you will feel refreshed. (I don't know if you have that kind of feeling, once you enter the Buddha Hall or temple, I always have a feeling of being careful and purifying my six senses? ) Dazu Rock Carvings
