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 ReviewsAmazing! No wonder it's a black monkey site. There's a dedicated shuttle bus, and a day trip is plenty of time for a visit. There aren't many tourists, so you can take your time to explore and take plenty of photos. Highly recommended for enthusiasts of ancient architecture and cliff carvings. Personally, I think it's even more beautiful than the Longmen Grottoes, as the colors haven't faded.
