The stone carvings in Dazu date to the Tang and Song dynasties.
There are 100,000 images in this group of stone carvings which are
found at 70 sites about 14 kilometers from Chongqing. Most are Buddhist
but there are Confucian and Taoist images. The stone carvings in
Dazu are typical grotto carvings from later historical periods.
They are important cultural relics and are under state protection.
