The Shizhong Mountain Grottoes is located 25 kilometers southwest of Jianchuan County, Yunnan Province. It is considered the "treasure of the south." The carvings were constructed during the the Nanzhao and Dali periods (738-1253 A.D.). The 17 grottos and 139 statues make up one of the most beautiful grotto complexes in South China, with statues of the royal Nanzha family and other historical figures, as well as Buddha statues.
