Chongqing- Dazu Rock Carvings

📍Where: Dazu County - Chongqing. ⏰ Suggested time: 1.5-2 hours. If you’re visiting Dazu Rock Carvings, you must hire a tour guide. There aren’t many signs explaining the rock carving’s signification so you wouldn’t understand much. Here’s some information about the site: “The steep hillsides of the Dazu area contain an exceptional series of rock carvings dating from the 9th to the 13th century. They are remarkable for their aesthetic quality, their rich diversity of subject matter, both secular and religious, and the light that they shed on everyday life in China during this period. They provide outstanding evidence of the harmonious synthesis of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.” Enjoy your trip! #thisischina #chongqing #history #china #dazu #unforgettableexperiences #scenicspotguide #summervacation

A wonderful UNESCO world heritage day trip from Chongqing!

Dazu Rock Carvings

Just touched down in Chongqing and went straight for the insane ancient art vibes at Dazu Rock Carvings — this UNESCO gem totally lives up to the hype! 😍🪨 Must-See Place: Dazu Rock Carvings Address: Baoding Mountain Stone Carving Scenic Area, Baoding Town, Dazu District, Chongqing Opening hours: 9:00–18:00 (Last ticket and entry by 17:00) Entry fee: 110 yuan Tip: If you’re coming from downtown Chongqing, do what I did — grab a taxi for about 400 yuan roundtrip. It’s seriously worth it for the convenience (especially if you’re not feeling the local bus adventure). Best time to visit? Right now! The weather’s chill so you skip the blazing summer heat and can actually enjoy the outdoor walk without melting. Dazu Rock Carvings are packed with thousands of Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian sculptures carved over centuries. The scale and detail are wild — brush up on some history before you go, or just take a guided tour for all the legends behind each statue. Getting around: Taxis are fast, comfy, and easy in Chongqing. Always have your destination written in Chinese for drivers. Food: Snack game strong — bring some water and munchies because the onsite options are limited. There are small restaurants near the scenic area if you want local eats after. Insider tips: – Buy tickets early to avoid lines – Arrive by late morning for fewer crowds – Cash and mobile pay both accepted – Bring sunblock and hats even if it’s cooler #Chongqing #DazuRockCarvings #TravelChina #TripTips

Dazu Rock Carvings

Visited another world heritage site here in China! The Dazu Rock Carvings! 👏🏻🙌🏻 We joined a group tour to see this place and I was so glad we did because its worth it. We left the city centre at past 8am and arrived at the 1st stop at around 10. We saw some statues on top of this mountain then before 12noon we left for our lunch! We stopped at a small Chinese restaurant and our table was all set! We sat and ate with all the joiners of the tour! Then, we headed off to the gallery where we watched this amazing 3D movie-like intro of the place and it was just amazing! Afterwards, we went on to our last stop, hopped on an electric cart that took us to all these magnificent carvings you see in the pics. After the tour, I was able to see some souvenir stores and bought this owl made of craft materials. Before 5:00, we were back at the city and then just had a stroll around Hongyadong where we were dropped off. I loved how organized and well-guided our tour was, we paid 200rmb all-in! All we had to do was to hop on the bus, sit back and enjoy!😍#summerincq2022 #summervacation
