Visiting the Dazu North Mountain Rock Carvings, I am amazed by the wisdom and achievements of the great and hardworking Chinese nation!

This weekend, I specifically drove to visit the Dazu North Mountain Rock Carvings Scenic Area (fulfilling my own wish), which was established between 892 and 1162 AD, and has since reached its current scale. Centered around Buddha Bay, it includes Buddha Ear Rock, Guanyin Slope, Yingpan Slope, and other areas, with nearly ten thousand statues. It showcases the development and changes of Chinese folk Buddhist beliefs and grotto-style art, known for its exquisite and elegant features, and has been acclaimed as a gallery of Tang and Song Dynasty stone carving art. In 1999, it was listed on the 'World Heritage List' by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. It is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction. The main attractions include the Dabao Pagoda, Xiaojing Pavilion, Three-World Buddha Niche, Shuiyue Guanyin Cave, Wei Junjing Stele, Vaisravana Heavenly King Niche, Sakyamuni Preaching Niche, Marici Devi Niche, Peacock Daming King Niche, Hariti Mother Niche, Guanyin Ksitigarbha Niche, Avalokitesvara Wish-Fulfilling Wheel Bodhisattva Cave... and a total of 290 stone carvings including the Three-World Buddha Niche! It is truly worth a visit to understand the Chinese grotto rock carving culture, a cultural feast that purifies the soul!
