Thousand-Buddha Cliff, Rock-cut Buddhist shrine in Licheng District, China.
The stone cliff extends for 63 meters and contains 210 carved Buddhist statues alongside 43 inscriptions in various sizes and positions.
Monk Sha Dong initiated the carving of Buddhist sculptures in 619 AD, creating the first statue at the age of 70 years old.
The cliff displays sculptures of nobility, government officials, and Emperor Taizong's daughter Princess Nanping with her husband Liu Xuanyi.
The site stands 33 kilometers southeast of Jinan city center and 8 kilometers east of Zhonggong Town, near Liubu Village.
Despite Tang Dynasty policies promoting Taoism, Buddhist monks continued carving statues, marking them as prayer objects to minimize political risks.
