UNESCO Heritage in Chongqing: Dazu Rock Carvings Full-Day Tour

Language English, French, Italian, Spanish
Cost 520 USD for tour/excursion
Capacity Group of up to 4 people
Duration 8 hours

Visit the Dazu District, home to one of China’s most extraordinary cultural treasures—a UNESCO World Heritage Site that redefined rock art for centuries.

The Dazu Rock Carvings, carved between the 9th and 13th centuries, are a masterpiece of late Chinese stone sculpture, blending Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian themes into a vivid narrative of medieval life. Unlike traditional cave temples, these carvings sprawl across cliffs, telling stories through intricate reliefs that merge spirituality with everyday human emotion.

Your day centers on Baodingshan (Mount Baoding), the crown jewel of Dazu’s five iconic sites. Rising over 500 meters above sea level, this sacred hillside is adorned with thousands of statues and sprawling bas-reliefs that unfold like a visual epic.
