Getting Lost in the Amazing Dazu Rock Carvings

#chinatravel Checked out the Dazu Rock Carvings in Chongqing recently, what a trip back in time! These carvings are seriously next level, ancient stone sculptures carved right into cliffs, with crazy detail and tons of stories. It’s like an open air gallery from hundreds of years ago, but way cooler. Walking around, I kept spotting new scenes, Buddhas, animals, and scenes from old legends. It’s peaceful but also super interesting, and the whole place has this calm, spiritual vibe. Plus, the cliffs and greenery around make it feel like you’re stepping into a different world. It wasn’t super crowded, so I could really take my time, snap pics, and just soak it all in without feeling rushed. If you’re anywhere near Chongqing and into history or just wanna see something totally unique, the Dazu Rock Carvings are a must see. Ancient art meets nature, and it’s honestly pretty unforgettable.

The car rental experience was great. The car was very clean and had no odor. It was October when we came to Chongqing, but it was very hot. The air conditioner was on throughout the trip.

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
