Beishan Cliffside Carvings, Buddhist cliffside carvings in Dazu, China
The Beishan Cliffside Carvings stretch along 300 meters of cliff face, featuring 370 grottoes containing nearly 10,000 stone figures carved into the rock.
The creation of these carvings began in 892 CE during the Tang Dynasty and continued through multiple dynasties, reaching completion in 1146 during the Southern Song period.
The stone carvings include depictions of Buddha, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Vajra beings, reflecting the Buddhist traditions and religious practices of medieval China.
The site maintains regular visiting hours from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages and informative plaques describing the historical context.
The carvings contain 45 inscription records from the Tang and Song dynasties, eight relief-carved sutra pillars, and one line-carved mural painting.
