Thousand Buddhas Cliff, Buddhist cave sanctuary in Jiajiang County, China.
The cliff extends 63 meters in length and features over 210 carved Buddhist statues along with 43 stone inscriptions from different periods.
The initial Buddha sculpture was created in 619 AD by monk Sha Dong, with subsequent carvings added by monk Ming De after a 25-year interval.
The stone carvings include representations of nobility, including Princess Nanping, daughter of Emperor Taizong, and her husband Liu Xuanyi.
The site contains four separate caves named Longquan, Jile, Qianlou, and Luzu, each displaying distinct architectural and artistic characteristics.
The cliff houses Buddhist sculptures dating back 1400 years, created during a period when Tang dynasty officially supported Taoism over Buddhism.
