Private Tour: Art and Culture of Dazu Rock Carvings
Often called the "Pearl of Oriental Art", the Dazu Rock Carvings are as famous as the famous Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. They are a treasure of cave art that enjoys a high reputation in China and even in the world. What makes Dazu truly unique is that it is the only place in China where you can witness the harmonious coexistence of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism in one set of artworks. During a one-day tour of the Dazu Rock Carvings, you will have the opportunity to personally witness how these three major ideological systems influence and interweave in artworks, and thus profoundly shape the Chinese way of thinking, lifestyle and moral norms.

Most of the caves and niches in the Beishan stone carvings are small, but they are cleverly laid out, with compactly arranged statues and exquisite carvings. They are like miniature works of art and are worth careful appreciation.
The statues on Baoding Mountain are large in scale and majestic, such as the 7.7-meter-high Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue in the Thousand-Armed Guanyin Hall (with thousands of hands, finely carved, and magnificent), the Reclining Buddha (31 meters long, with a peaceful posture), etc.
