Discover Ancient Rock Carvings: Chongqing Day Tour

#travelinginchina 1 Day tour Morning to Afternoon. Dazu Rock Carvings - The most fabulous display of traditional Buddhist art! Well preserved ancient carvings are here. I was so happy to see such delightful artistry. The local people have kept the area clean. Enjoy the river view and bask in the forested mountainside scenery. Dazu district is lovely in the spring. Hear song birds and buzzing bees. 🐝 These sites are ancient relics. Walk carefully and be polite to the location and people. Be mindful with your photography. The best view will have the best for you. 🌷🤙🏽 Dazu district about 1.5 hrs drive outside Chongqing city. It’s best to go with a travel group or navigate yourself while driving. The roads are clear and well maintained. Entrance to the site requires ID and advanced ticket purchase. The captions are written in English and Mandarin Chinese. They offer brief info on details of the history of these rock carvings. Learn about the centuries old scribes that carved these rock cliffs. Buddhist history has been written in stone. Review closely the details of the stonemasons. Enjoy the view of well decorated figures. Each zone is especially dedicated to its own principle of virtue. Foreign travelers may need a bilingual guide for deeper historic learning. #traditional #chinatrip #localguides #踏青赏花正当时 #旅行灵感 #travelinspiration #travelphotography #travelchina #travel #art #buddhism #chongqing #chengdu #history #nature #naturelover #mountainview #mountain #hiking #chinalife #trip #timetotravel #holidayvacation #photooftheday

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
