Anyue Grottoes, a truly national treasure-level secret realm! Now free for a limited time! Everyone, hurry up and go!

"Following the legacy of Yungang and Longmen, and preceding Dazu" This is exactly about Anyue!! Hidden in the hometown of stone carving art in Bashu, it is also the real filming location of "Black Myth: Wukong"! The stone carvings that became famous during the Tang and Song dynasties are 200 years older than Dazu! When I saw it with my own eyes, I was completely amazed. The ancient people's aesthetic sense is just incredible 😭 I've put together my personal one-day tour route for you all. Few people, beautiful scenery, perfect for photos. Quickly save this! 🚗 How to get there The attractions are quite spread out, so self-driving or joining a one-day tour group is recommended. ✨ One-day tour plan Head straight to the northern route in the morning, Wofu Temple and Mumen Temple are must-sees. At noon, return to the county town for a bowl of authentic Zhouli Shāngxīn cold noodles. In the afternoon, go to Shiyang Town, visit Pilu Cave → Mingshan Temple → Peacock Cave all along the way, arrive at Tapo before sunset. The Huayan Three Saints are stunning under the sunset! 📸 Must-photograph spots Wofu Temple The largest left-lying Buddha from the Tang dynasty in the country, with sutras carved all over its back, and surrounded by thousands of statues, so breathtaking it leaves you speechless. Mumen Temple A thousand-year-old ancient temple with a great atmosphere, wooden structure hiding a stone pagoda inside, housing the mummified body of a Ming dynasty national master, full of mystery. Pilu Cave Filming location of "Black Myth"! The Water Moon Guanyin is stunning, known as the "Venus of the East," truly a beauty icon. Mingshan Temple Also a game filming location, thousand-year weathering formed wave-like patterns, the Bodhisattva statues are exquisitely detailed to the point of tears. Peacock Cave The Peacock Great Bright King statue is very majestic, and the Jingmu stone pagoda on the mountain is also a hidden treasure. Yuanjue Cave A concentration of Northern Song dynasty stone carvings, the Guanyin Bodhisattva is the treasure of the cave. 🍜 Foodies, look here Zhouli Shāngxīn cold noodles (intangible cultural heritage!) Anyue rice rolls, local barbecue, fresh lemons, pot jar meat, each dish is so delicious you'll want to stomp your feet! 🎉 Major perks From October to December 2025, Wofu Temple is free of charge! The digital exhibition center also offers discounts, and you can get 40% off watching the "Chuan Chao" league. This is a deal you must take advantage of! Trust me, ladies, Anyue is definitely worth a special trip. The stone carvings are so well preserved, and there are so few people. Hurry up and go before it becomes popular!
