This is Dazu's second biggest tourist attraction after the Dazu Rock Carvings. Situated on the northern side of Longshui Lake (actually a man-made reservoir), the resort features numerous hot springs and a water-based amusement park. You can also go on boat rides on the lake or try out a military style obstacle course that runs through a forested area.

石门山石刻
The Shimenshan Rock Carvings were created between 1094 and 1151 AD (during the Northern Song Dynasty’s Shaosheng period to the Southern Song Dynasty’s Shaoxing period) and represent a religious sculpture site that integrates both Buddhist and Taoist themes. Stretching 71.8 meters in length and organized into 16 numbered sections, 12 of the niches preserve precious religious statues. The carvings are particularly notable for their Taoist motifs, such as the vivid depictions of the Jade Emperor, Clairvoyant, and Clairaudient in Niche No. 2, and the dynamic One-Legged Wutong Emperor in Niche No. 7. Among the Buddhist carvings, the Ten Saint Guanyin in Niche No. 6 is especially exquisite. In addition, there are inscriptions, steles, and the signatures of craftsmen, which document the carving history from the 10th to the 13th century. With its well-organized layout and intricate carving techniques, the Shimenshan Rock Carvings are a valuable site for studying Song Dynasty religious culture.
