Located 1.5 kilometers north of Dazu District, the Dazu rock carvings are a collection of some 50,000 statues begun in 892 AD, the first year of the Jingfu reign of the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Carving would continue for the next 250 years. The vividly colorful statues, the most famous of which are the Beishan cliffside and Baoding mountain cliffside statues, have been designated UNESCO World Heritage sites.[Photo by Wu Changqing]
