Touching the Flow of a Millennium.🌟 Anyue Stone Carvings: The Brilliant Treasure of a Thousand Years of Art ✔️During the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, craftsmen meticulously carved on this land, leaving behind countless astonishing stone carvings. ✔️They excavated 20 niches, totaling a length of 118 meters. Today, 465 cliff stone carvings still remain, scattered across places like Pilu Cave, Youju Cave, Thousand Buddha Cave, Guanyin Hall, and Jade Emperor Pavilion. In addition, there are 18 stele inscriptions, 10 cliff tombs, and 2 Buddhist pagodas, together forming the magnificent landscape of the 'New Landmark of the Bashu Cultural Tourism Corridor'. ✅Spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit these millennial artworks. At this time, the sky is clear and the sun shines obliquely, making the contours of the stone carvings clearly visible against the sky, as if history and reality are intertwined, presenting an overwhelmingly beautiful scene. 🚗It takes about 2 hours to drive from Chengdu to reach Anyue 📝Recommended Anyue Stone Carving Sites: 🔹Mingshan Temple 🔹Anyue Stone Carvings Yuanjue Cave Scenic Area 🔹Huayan Cave Stone Carvings 🔹Peacock Cave 🔹Anyue Tapo Carvings 🔹Thousand Buddha Temple 🔹Wofo Temple 🔹It's also worth taking a look at the Dazu Rock Carvings, which are about an hour's drive from Anyue!
