南山石刻
The Nanshan Rock Carvings were created during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty (1131–1162 AD). The carved cliff spans over 80 meters in length and ranges from 3 to 10 meters in height, with the carvings classified into a total of 15 numbered niches, some of which were supplemented during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The main subjects include depictions of Daoist deities such as the Zhenwu Emperor, the Empress of the Earth, as well as the Sanqing Cave and Dragon Cave.

北山石刻景区
The Beishan Rock Carvings, which were initiated in the late Tang Dynasty and continued through the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, are located on Beishan Mountain, approximately 2 km north of Dazu County, Chongqing. The carvings span around 500 meters and primarily feature Buddhist imagery, with a significant focus on Tantric Buddhism. These carvings, with their exquisite and refined craftsmanship, display a rich variety of themes and styles, reflecting the evolution of Chinese folk Buddhism between the 9th and 12th centuries. The rock carvings are characterized by their unique crescent shape along the cliffside, resembling beehive-like niches. There are nearly 10,000 statues and 290 niches, with a dense arrangement of figures that include both religious and secular themes. The carvings of the late Tang Dynasty are known for their robust and dignified forms, while those of the Song Dynasty are more intricate and delicate, representing a transformation in style and technique. The Beishan site has been well preserved and remains a prime example of Chinese rock art, often regarded as the "Artistic Palace of the Tang and Song Dynasties."
大足红星生态公园
Dazu Hongxing Ecological Park is an excellent park for walking, with pathways connecting multiple areas, making it an ideal spot for local residents to enjoy a stroll. During the blooming season of rapeseed flowers, the scenery here is particularly beautiful. However, if you're coming just to see the flowers, it may not be necessary as the blooms have already faded. Still, it's a great place for daily walks or relaxation.
