Art Museum of Cliffside Images in Dazu,Chongqing, Chongqing Region, China
4.5 (23 reviews) Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent Ranking #4 in Dazu County Speciality Museums
A real must do and worth the effort.
We went to Dazu over the CNY Spring festival to visit the carvings. In fact it is 2 sites one in Beishan and the other in Baoding. You can buy a combined ticket for both sites for rmb120 or rmb90 for Baoding and rmb70 for Beishan. No discount for kids. We went to Baoding and as expected it was busy and a little congested with visitors and tour groups. However do not miss this one. This is a real must do and one of the best attraction we had visited. The carvings are absolutely spectaculiar and should not be missed if you intend visiting Chongqing.

One of the lesser known amazing sights of China
We visited Dazu at the end of a two week trip and thought we had seen enough of China but this was amazing! To think they were constructed so long ago and with such detail was worth the trip from Chongqing especially as Chongqing itself does not have much to offer! This was also one of the less crowded places of interest and the drive there once leaving the motorway was very scenic and all in all made for a very unexpected excellent day!!

Stunning Example of China's Buddhist Heritage
This magnificent example of Buddhist religiosity located not far from Chongqing is just overwhelming. One must have an excellent guide to take you through the site and explain the religious significance of these stupendous carvings if one is to truly enjoy this attraction to the fullest extent. I was lucky to have had a true expert guiding me. The carvings are just so spectaculat that it is hard to conceive that they were fashined by the hands of men over many many years.
