based on 256 reviewsThe Dazu Rock Carvings in the Dazu District of Chongqing City is a world cultural heritage site. The Dazu Rock Carvings include Baoding Mountain, Beishan Mountain, Nanshan Mountain and others. Here, you can enjoy seeing the well-preserved stone carving art from the Tang and Song Dynasties. Among the many stone carving groups, the Baoding Mountain and Beishan Stone Carvings are the most famous. Baoding Mountain’s “Picture of the six stages of reincarnation” and “Picture of the retribution for the ten deadly sins” are worth savoring in detail. The Buddha statues in Beishan Mountain include both the simplicity of the Tang Dynasty's sculpture and the beauty of the Song Dynasty's sculpture.

Show More ReviewsThis scenic area, primarily featuring cultural landscapes, is truly impressive to see the stone carvings in person. While the area itself isn't very large, it's not very driver-friendly. They should provide more options and directions for those with cars. I had to research many online guides to find a suitable route. The internal routes within the scenic area were also a bit confusing; I had to ask a staff member to find out where the stone carving area was. Overall, it's a good place if you do your research beforehand.
