Itinerary

1 hour
2
The Dazu Rock Carvings
Discover Baoding Mountain Rock Carvings, the crowning jewel of Dazu, where engineering marvel meets epic storytelling. Unlike individual statues, this 13th-century masterpiece is a unified, open-air “picture-book” carved into a horseshoe-shaped cliff. It was meticulously planned to use the mountain itself as a structural element. Witness the “Pagoda-Holding Manjushri,” where an 800kg stone pagoda is ingeniously supported by a seamlessly integrated robe transferring weight to the base. See the “Nine Dragons Bathing the Prince,” where natural spring water was channeled through the sculpture for both drainage and drama. Every panel connects, depicting vivid narratives from Buddhist sutras to tales of filial piety, designed to guide viewers on a moral journey. It’s a monumental feat of religious art, narrative genius, and stone-age structural engineering.
