The Tang Dynasty Thousand-Hand Guanyin under the residential building

Neijiang in Sichuan, known as Zhongchuan, is where the Tuojiang River meanders and embraces the old town. The cliff carvings at Donglin Temple began in the first year of Tang Qianning (894 AD) and have been continuously added to over the generations. Due to the numerous carvings, it was once called the "Thousand Buddha Rock." The carving area is distributed along the northwest-southeast facing cliff, stretching 73 meters in length, with 12 niches and 86 statues remaining. The core treasure is the 11th niche's Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue. This statue is 7.4 meters tall and 7.16 meters wide, and together with the 2-meter-high Sumeru dragon pedestal, it reaches nearly 10 meters in total height. The Xianglong Mountain cliff carvings preserve nearly 400 statues of various sizes from the Tang, Song, and Republic of China periods. The tallest reaches 8 meters, the smallest just over an inch, distributed along about 200 meters of the cliff face on Xianglong Mountain.
