Dazu
Dazu County is 150 kilometres North West of the city of Chongqing and houses some of the best preserved remnants of Buddhism including the amazing Dazu Rock carvings.
Found throughout Dazu County, these religious sculptures and carvings date back over 1200 years. There are 75 sites throughout the County with more than 50,000 statues and artifacts to be found. Dazu is a stunning example of the regions incredible past and should not be missed.
A centre piece of the Dazu Rock carvings is Baoding Shan or Treasured Summit Hill. The master piece is the 32 metre long, 5 metre high reclining Buddha protected by the temple in stunning gold. It is an incredible sight to behold, a highlight amongst the 800 year old statues found here.
