Still maintaining a low profile, it is a treasure worth seeing

♻️ The 'Dazu Rock Carvings', about 90 kilometers from the Chongqing city center, have faded from the spotlight of check-in points as internet celebrities come and go and new attractions emerge. 🩸 The amazement after visiting the Dazu Rock Carvings, one of China's four major grottoes, exceeds expectations, and it is undoubtedly a precious gem of stone carving art, making the trip worthwhile with a shout of 'worth it'. 📌 The Dazu Rock Carvings tour is now focused on the 'Beishan Rock Carvings' and 'Baodingshan Rock Carvings', most of which are well-preserved from the late Tang and Southern Song periods, especially Baodingshan. ☝️ The construction of Chinese grottoes began in the Northern Wei dynasty, and by the time of the Dazu Rock Carvings, it was nearing its end, so the colors and the exquisite craftsmanship of the carvings seem even more vivid. 👁️ In terms of overall scale, it may be below the four major grottoes, but in terms of refinement and narrative, it is absolutely not inferior. 👣 The Baodingshan scenic area also has the Dazu Rock Carvings Museum, which is highly recommended for a visit, as it is said to surpass many city museums nowadays. I didn't have time to go to the digital cinema, as it has scheduled showtimes. 🛕 'Shengshou Temple' is a place for praying and making wishes, where visitors light incense and the sound of monks striking the bell adds a touch of devotion. 📍 Warm tips: Transportation🚌: Public transportation is not very convenient, the high-speed rail is not yet open and is said to take a few more years, and there is also a 16-kilometer distance between Beishan and Baodingshan. There are several options for the 90 kilometers from Dazu to the city center: self-driving, hiring a car, joining a one-day tour group, or taking public transportation by train and then bus, which is more time-consuming. Tickets🎫: If you want to visit both Beishan and Baodingshan scenic areas and watch the digital cinema, plus the bus and sightseeing car within the Baodingshan scenic area, it is more cost-effective to book a joint ticket in advance. The digital cinema alone costs 80 yuan/person on-site, but regardless of whether tickets are purchased online or offline, the discounts for eligible groups remain the same, such as half-price or free. Parking🚗: Both Beishan and Baodingshan scenic areas have parking lots, and the cost for a sedan is 6 yuan/vehicle/time, which is not expensive. Dazu Rock Carvings
