The Dazu Rock Carvings, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and national 5A-level scenic area, lie in Dazu District, Chongqing. Carved from the early Tang Dynasty (650 AD) through the Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing, it spans over 1,200 years.

With over 50,000 vivid statues and 100,000 inscriptions across 75 sites, it's a masterpiece of late Chinese grotto art. The most renowned areas are Baodingshan and Beishan. It uniquely integrates Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, featuring secular, lifelike scenes.

Known as "the last monument in world grotto art history", it rivals China's top grottoes (Mogao, Longmen, Yungang). A blend of exquisite craftsmanship, rich religion and folk culture, it's a must-visit for art and history lovers.
