Shisunshan Cliffside Inscriptions

Before the Tang Dynasty, Shiqi Mountain was an important passageway in Chengdu through Daqi, Lushan, Ya'an to Yunnan and overseas. The mountain is magnificent, overlooking the mountains, layers and stacks, and Waye thousands of miles. The stone cliff statues are distributed on the hanging rock of about30-50 meters high and about 130 meters long, with 33 , caves and more than 1,000 statues of size. According to the image title, they were carved in Tang Dali for three years (768), which is the most concentrated and well-preserved artwork for the meteorite inscription. Rich in content and wide in subject matter. There are Buddha stories, pure land change, Sakya, the infinite Buddhas, the kings, Lux, flying sky, dance music, etc.

After passing the ancient town of Xinchang, the mountain scenery along the way is good. After 2 kilometers of narrow roads, the vegetation is lush and very quiet. There is a small farmyard at the end that can park (5 yuan/car). The grottoes are well preserved and have a strong viewing. But the scale is small.

The rock cliff stone carvings of the mountain are a free attraction near Chengdu, but they are really boutique and worth seeing.

The guide to visit Shiqishan Grottoes sincerely admire the high culture of the people of Chengdu. Shiqishan is such a remote place, and the visitors are still endless. Get off the highway in Xinchang Ancient Town, walk along the river, pass the main temple of Sichuan and the Yaoshiyan, drive uphill to the mountain, and then divide the road. Turn left on the village road and continue to walk, be careful of the Huiche, see the sign, there is a parking lot. Visit and parking are free. The Shiqishan Grottoes are in a mountain range as a whole, and the location is very hidden, probably the reason why it has avoided the fighting and havoc of the past dynasties. The stone carvings are mainly works of the middle and late Tang Dynasty. They can be heard from Datong-Luoyang-Ba, and they can be viewed in comparison with Anyue Dazu stone carvings. Of course, the volume is not large, and there are no shortage of boutiques to look at. Figure 1 Figure 3 is the waiter at the foot of the Big Buddha on the left, which is wonderful. Figure 2's full-body Bodhisattva statue can be regarded as a first-class cultural relics. The Maitreya and Bodhisattva statues in Figure 4 are very Sichuan characteristics and full of cuteness. The dragon boat and attic statues in Figure 5 and Figure 6 are also very rare. It is recommended to visit Shiqianshan Grottoes and Xinchang Ancient Town, Huashuiwan, Qianfo Mountain, and a line. In the evening, you can live in Huashuiwan, eat firewood chicken, and soak in hot springs. Spirit is full, body is happy, don't be unhappy.
