🎧  Listen to Introduction

The steep hillsides of the Dazu area contain a series of rock carvings dating from the 9th to the 13th century. These carvings are notable not only for their beauty but also for the variety of themes (both secular and religious) that reflect the daily lives of the Chinese people at the time. They are outstanding evidence of the harmonious integration of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.
