My Moments have been bombarded with questions about this seriously underestimated scenic spot

"North Dunhuang, South Dazu" Dazu Rock Carvings is one of the world cultural heritages and the only world cultural heritage in Chongqing, which is really worth a visit! On the Dazu Baoding Mountain Rock Carvings, the exquisitely carved cliff statues are silently hidden in the mountains and forests, blending the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and the rock carvings are lifelike, which is amazing! The rock carvings leave an immortal civilization in the oldest way. ✅About transportation: 📍: Dazu Rock Carvings Scenic Area, Baoding Town, Dazu District, Chongqing City 🚗Self-driving, you can navigate to Shengshou Temple No. 3 gate, there are a few parking spaces at the door, but there are not many self-driving cars usually, enter from the temple——towards the Dazu Rock Carvings Museum, the rock carvings scenic area is next to the museum) 🚌Bus: Take bus 205 in Dazu city area, to Shengshou Temple ✅About tickets 🎫Ticket: Baoding Mountain Scenic Area (main scenic area)--110r Half price for students Pass: 135r (Baoding Mountain Rock Carvings + Beishan Rock Carvings) ✅About browsing: No entry after 4:30 in the afternoon You can reserve 2-3 hours to slowly feel inside, if you can, you can ask the guide to explain, or you can find the explanation audio online! The secularization characteristics of religious art are vivid and amazing Highlights: (Actually they are all highlights) 🌟Thousand-Hand Guanyin Statue Built during the Southern Song Dynasty, it is the pinnacle of Guanyin statues and the largest Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue in the country. As soon as you enter the Buddha cave, you are attracted by the nearly thousand hands on the wall and the huge main image. After the gilding restoration, it is elegant and majestic, with a thousand people and a thousand hands, none of them are the same! 🌟Sakyamuni Nirvana Holy Trace Map The Buddha statue is in a reclining Buddha posture, only revealing half of the Buddha's body 31 meters long and the lower half is introduced into the mountain. The Buddha's face is slightly closed, and his expression is peaceful. This Buddha statue is the largest half-body reclining Buddha statue in the world. 🌟Folk rock carvings integrating Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism The Baoding Mountain Rock Carvings are different from most of the grottoes. In addition to various god and Buddha statues, there are also many folk rock carvings that are both ethnic and life-like. There are chicken-raising women, cattle-herding pictures, flute-playing women and many other realistic life rock carvings. The main scenic area has Shengshou Temple and Dazu Rock Carvings Museum Shengshou Temple is very popular You can go
