Itinerary

  • The Dazu Rock Carvings

    Meet up at the lobby of your Chongqing Downtown hotel in the morning, greeting by your knowledgeable and friendly personal guide then transferred by an air-conditioned vehicle to Dazu Rock Carvings (approx.2 hours), relax on the way and enjoy beautiful countryside view. Listed as the UNESCO Site, the construction of Dazu Rock Carvings began in 650, and continued into the 17th century. The rock carvings are an outstanding example of China's grotto art in the middle and late period of ancient China. So far, 50,000 statues and 100,000 inscribed with Chinese characters have been identified. The cliff statues are large in size, well carved and among the best preserved of this form of Chinese cave temple art. The Dazu Rock Carvings occupy an important position in the history of China's grotto art. They include not only Buddhist figures, but Taoist and Confucian figures, which makes them different from earlier grottoes. The statues have strong national and secular features and depict the daily lives of ancient people. They mark the completion of the localization process of China's grotto art and reflect great changes and developments in China's folk religion and grotto art.

One of China's lesser known top sights.

Published on Oct, 2023

You won't find Dazu on many people's travel itinerary, which, in my humble opinion, is a big mistake. The rock carvings at Dazu are easily one of China's top sights and different enough from other rock carvings sites such as the Longmes Grottoes to warrant a visit. Plus, it's an easy day trip from Chongqing, perfect in length in case you are planning on boarding a cruise down the Yangtze river that same day. Our great guide, Christine, was very helpful in navigating the site and provided a lot of useful information for understanding the meaning behind the Buddhist and Taoist images carved into the rock. Moreover, she was very punctual and even called me late into the night the day before to customize the tour to our needs. Big recommendation!
