Tuoshan, Buddhist grottoes and mountain in Qingzhou, China

The mountain features 638 stone Buddha statues carved along its eastern edge, with ancient grottoes distributed across multiple levels of the terrain.

During the Northern Zhou and Tang dynasties, artisans created detailed Buddhist sculptures in the mountain caves, incorporating various artistic influences from Central Asia.

The grottoes contain statues depicting individuals wearing non-Chinese clothing, including a figure in Persian attire located in Grotto Number 2.

The mountain, situated 4 kilometers southwest of Qingzhou center, offers a gondola service for accessing different sections of the archaeological complex.

The Qibao Cabinet at Haotian Temple demonstrates an unusual architectural style with its double-arched stone construction without supporting beams.
