Travel through thousands of years and encounter the Dazu Rock Carvings✨A super complete guide Be sure to come to the Dazu Rock Carvings in Chongqing to experience a soul-stirring art feast. These exquisite rock carvings are not only artistic treasures, but also vivid witnesses of history. Quickly accept this nanny-level guide to easily enjoy the Dazu Rock Carvings! 🚗Transportation Guide 1. Self-driving: Navigate to "Dazu Rock Carvings". It takes about 1.5 hours to reach from the main city of Chongqing. The scenery along the way is amazing, and you can always find service areas to rest when you are tired, focusing on freedom. 2. High-speed train: After taking the high-speed train to Dazu South Station, you can take bus No. 204 or 206, get off at the Telecommunications Bureau or Hongsheng Square, and then transfer to bus No. 205 or the 2015 Rock Carving Special Line. If you don't want to transfer, take a taxi directly, which will take you directly to the scenic spot for about CNY 30 - 40. 3. Bus: At Chongqing Caiyuanba, Chenjiaping and other bus stations, there are buses to Dazu District, which takes about 1.5 hours. After arriving in Dazu District, take a taxi to the scenic spot. 🎫Ticket Guide 1. Baodingshan Rock Carvings: CNY 130/person, including the Dazu Rock Carvings Museum ticket and transportation ticket in the scenic area. Baodingshan is the essence of the Dazu Rock Carvings. The Thousand-Hand Guanyin and the Huayan Three Saints are must-see statues. Don't save on transportation tickets. The scenic area is very large, and it is really unbearable to walk. 2. Beishan Rock Carvings: CNY 70/person. The Guanyin rock carvings here are delicately carved and have a completely different style from Baodingshan. It is worth seeing. 3. Joint ticket: CNY 150/person, including Baodingshan, Beishan Rock Carvings and Baodingshan transportation tickets. It is more cost-effective for those who want to visit both scenic spots to buy a joint ticket. 4. Niche rock carvings: Nanshan, Shimenshan, and Shizhuan Mountain rock carvings tickets are all CNY 30/person. They are relatively niche, but you can see statues that integrate Taoism and Confucian culture and experience uniqueness. 🕙Visiting time The Dazu Rock Carvings are rich in content, so it is recommended to arrange a day. Go to Baodingshan in the morning and visit for 2 - 3 hours; go to Beishan in the afternoon and spend 1 - 2 hours visiting. If you want to go to Nanshan, Shimenshan and other rock carvings, you have to reserve more time. 📸Photography Tips 1. Baodingshan Thousand-Hand Guanyin: Shoot from a low angle to contrast the majesty of the Buddha statue with yourself, and easily create a blockbuster. 2. Beishan Zhuanlun Scripture Cave: The light in the cave is soft, suitable for shooting close-ups of Guanyin statues and portraits. 3. Baodingshan Reclining Buddha: Take a panoramic view to fully show the majestic momentum of the 31m Reclining Buddha. 🍜Food Guide 1. Youting Crucian Carp: A signature delicacy of Dazu, it is fresh, spicy and enjoyable. The fish is so tender that it melts in your mouth. 2. Sanqu Jelly: Made of pure peas, it tastes smooth and refreshing, with unique seasonings, refreshing and not greasy. 3. Mutton Soup: Have a bowl of mutton soup from Dazu Mutton Restaurant in winter to warm your stomach and heart. 💡Travel tips 1. There are many mountain roads in the scenic area, so comfortable shoes are a must, otherwise you will collapse from walking. 2. Chongqing has strong ultraviolet rays, so take sun protection measures, and arrange sun hats and sunscreen. 3. Rock carvings are precious cultural relics, so don't touch or climb them. Visit them in a civilized manner. 4. Please hire a tour guide to explain or scan the code to listen to the audio guide to deeply understand the history and culture behind the rock carvings.
