The Anyue Stone Carvings in Sichuan are renowned for their grotto sculptures in China and serve as one of the main filming locations for the game "Black Myth: Wukong." Thousand Buddha Village is a scenic spot located on Dayun Mountain in Jiadao Village, Anyue County, Ziyang City, Sichuan Province, 3 kilometers west of the county seat. It is named for the thousands of Buddhas carved into the natural rock formations surrounding the mountaintop. [Cute] The Thousand Buddha Village scenic area stretches long and narrow from east to west. Rock carving originated in the Tang Dynasty and flourished during the Song Dynasty. There are 105 large and small niches, 3,061 statues, seven rock-carved pagodas or stupas, three Tang Dynasty steles, and 26 inscriptions. The statues include Sakyamuni Buddha, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajra Warriors, Dharma Protectors, Apsaras, donors, and various sutras. [TeaDrinker] Key Stone Carvings: 1. "Three Holy Ones of the West." This was carved in the Northern Song Dynasty based on a Tang Dynasty cave, and visible Tang Dynasty statues remain on the side walls. The niche is 6.62 meters high, 5.2 meters wide, and 3.2 meters deep. The main statue, Amitabha Buddha, stands 4.1 meters tall, while Mahasthamaprapta and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattvas stand 3.1 meters tall. The head of Amitabha Buddha shows obvious signs of restoration. 2. "Medicine Buddha Sutra Transformation." This masterpiece of Qianfozhai sculptures, depicting the scene in exquisite detail, fully captures all the elements of the Medicine Buddha Sutra Transformation. The figure of the male apsara, wearing long trousers and a draped silk scarf and bare-chested, is particularly unique. [Heart] Search "Qianfozhai Forest Park" on the navigation to reach it. #SichuanTravel #Must-See Sichuan Attractions #SichuanTravelGuide #Most-Asked-About-Your-Friends #NicheDiscovery

Anyue County, Sichuan Province, is a key filming location for the game "Black Myth: Wukong," primarily focusing on the Anyue Stone Carvings. The Anyue Stone Carvings are scattered across more than ten locations within Anyue County, and the carvings, both large and small, are extremely captivating. The Wofo Temple, located in northern Anyue County, is a particularly distinctive site among these carvings. [Cute] The Wofo Temple is located in Wofo Town, a scenic spot 25 kilometers north of Anyue County, Ziyang City, Sichuan Province. A magnificent Wofo Temple was built here during the Tang Dynasty. Although the temple is now destroyed, the approximately one-kilometer-long Wofo Valley and the cliffs, over 20 meters high on either side, preserve 1,613 cliff carvings from the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, 15 caves with stone inscriptions of scriptures, and dozens of steles, inscriptions, pagodas, and images of exotic animals. The sculpture area stretches 865 meters and contains 142 niches. [Congratulate] Of the Wofo Temple cliff carvings, the most spectacular is the "Sakyamuni Nirvana Sacred Site." Shakyamuni Buddha, resembling a giant, lies sideways on the cliff face. The reclining Buddha is 23 meters long, with a 3-meter-long head and 3.1-meter-wide shoulders. He faces south with his back to the north, his head to the east, his feet to the west, his hands flat, and his eyes closed, as if asleep. He wears a spiral bun, and each earring features a round, flower-shaped earring. A flat lotus-shaped pillow rests on his head. He is slender, clad in a cassock, with arched brows and a full chin, evoking a kind and dignified demeanor. Behind the reclining Buddha's head stands a half-length, round-eyed warrior, bare-chested, his left hand clenched in a guarding gesture. A disciple sits at his waist, facing the wall and back hunched, as if waiting. A powerful warrior stands before his bare feet, majestic and powerful, as a protective presence. Above the reclining Buddha are a group of statues depicting Shakyamuni preaching before his nirvana. In the center sits Shakyamuni, flanked by two tiers of attendants: nine disciples, two bodhisattvas, and the Eight Immortals, each with a different expression. Admission: 10 yuan. Note: Currently, you can only drive or take a taxi to the Reclining Buddha Temple. The road is winding, so drive carefully. #SichuanTravel #Must-SeeSichuanAttractions #SichuanTravelGuide #TheMost-Asked-About-Your-Friends #NicheDiscovery

The Yuanjue Cave Scenic Area is located on Yunju Mountain, 1 kilometer southeast of Anyue County, Sichuan Province. It is a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Site. It contains 103 existing caves and niches, housing 1,933 statues. Most of the statues date back to the Tang, Five Dynasties, and Song dynasties. The three statues, over 6 meters tall, of Sakyamuni, Guanyin (Pure Bottle Guanyin), and Guanyin (Lotus Hand Guanyin) are the most spectacular. Yuanjue Cave is named after the Twelve Yuanjue statues, signifying that everyone, regardless of self or status, can awaken and become a Buddha. The Yuanjue Cave scenic area features three 7-meter-tall stone statues of the "Three Holy Ones of the West" (the "Three Holy Ones of the West" are a combination of the three highest deities in the Western Paradise: Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Guanyin). While other locations feature a single niche for the Three Holy Ones, these are carved in separate niches here, a unique feature of the Anyue Grottoes. [Cute] If you look closely at the Buddha statues in Yuanjue Cave, you'll notice their distinctive expressions. Unlike the serene and selfless expressions commonly seen in Central Plains Buddhist statues or those from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, their eyes reveal a subtle inner reflection. Many Buddha statues have eyes slightly squinted, half-closed, as if peeping, giving off a sense of insincerity. In fact, if you understand the history of Anyue stone carvings, you'll understand why the statues here appear this way. During the late Tang Dynasty, the Anyue area revered the Liu Benzun sect, a sect with a strong "evil" bent, advocating self-mutilation as a form of spiritual practice. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Anyue stone carvings were once closed by local authorities, prohibiting the public from viewing or studying them. [TeaDrinker] Knowing this, many questions about the Anyue stone carvings become clearer. Yuanjue Cave is merely a niche within the Yuanjue Cave Scenic Area. In fact, the numerous cliff carvings on Yunju Mountain should be referred to as the "Yunju Mountain Grottoes." However, Yuanjue Cave is the most famous, so this name has been retained. Major attractions at the top of Yunju Mountain include numerous large and small stone grotto statues, the tomb of Chen Tuan, the Qin Jiushao Memorial Hall, the Jiaozhong Temple, and the ancient buildings of Zhenzhen Temple. #SichuanTravel #SichuanMust-See Attractions #SichuanTravelStrategy #ThePlacesMost AskedAboutOnWeChat #NicheDiscovery
