Sichuan, are you confused? These stunning Buddha statues are surprisingly overlooked

🚗💨 Recently, I embarked on a journey of discovery to Anyue in Sichuan - a little-known place that hides breathtaking Buddha statues. 🤩📸 🌿🕉️ If the famous Dazu Rock Carvings are considered official kiln treasures, then the Anyue stone carvings are undoubtedly the gems of folk kilns. These aesthetic treasures left by Song Dynasty artists are scattered among the people, carrying a unique 'wild' beauty. They bear witness to history and showcase the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients. 🤲🔨 🗺️📍 Pilu Cave Stone Carving Cluster Includes Pilu Cave, Youju Cave, Thousand Buddha Cave, and Guanyin Hall, totaling 465 cliff stone carvings and 32 stele inscriptions. These crystallizations of Song Dynasty Buddhist art are not only of great value to historical research but also offer a rich viewing experience for tourists. 🧭✒️ 🚙 About a 2-hour drive from Chengdu 1.
