Mount Baoding Buddhist Sculptures, Buddhist archaeological complex in Dazu District, China
The Mount Baoding Buddhist Sculptures extend across limestone cliffs, featuring over 6000 carvings that form continuous narrative sequences along the rock faces.
Buddhist monk Zhao Zhifeng dedicated seventy years to create these sculptures during the Southern Song Dynasty between 1127 and 1279 CE.
The carvings demonstrate the integration of Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian beliefs through detailed religious scenes and philosophical teachings carved into stone.
The archaeological site maintains specific morning to evening visiting hours, with guided tours available in multiple languages for detailed exploration of the sculptures.
Unlike traditional Chinese Buddhist caves, Mount Baoding presents an uninterrupted flow of carved tableaux, creating a natural stone gallery without separate niches.
