It's the oldest carvings site still miraculously well preserved in Dazu after thousand years of wars and destructive activities. Hidden in a pastroal forest nearby downtown Dazu, peaceful, historic and idyllic, will be a quiet excursion without crowds cos most big groups won't be here for higher travel agent budget which will make their quote not goodlooking and most guides were not trained for this site. Then we'll show our clients another exclusive site-a pair of twin giant Buddha statues and an ancient Pagoda adjacent to Beishan, 900 years old but super well preserved. We'll explore around,learn the history and enjoy lovely country fresh air.
