From its serene natural settings and the spiritual ambiance to the awe-inspiring artistry and cultural depth, Dazu offers a unique glimpse into China's ancient civilization and religious practices.

    Dazu Grottoes was so remote. It escaped the pillage and destruction of the Mongol armies during the invasion in the Sung Dynasty. The Long men Grottoes was much bigger but most of the smaller stone carvings and buddha heads were stolen during the early 1900s and the Japanese invasion during WW2!

    Thank you so much for this accidental promotional piece. 大足/DaZu in Chinese has two obvious meanings, the first can be literally translated to a famous English name, Bigfoot. Given its ancient origin (started from the Tang Dynasty) and rich legend, this may be an easy way to remember this place. However, the name (also from the Tang Dynasty) actually came from the second meaning, all around sufficiency. At 2:17, inscribed atop the gate on black background is the expression that means, all around sufficiency to the world.

The Yuzhong district in the center of the city has a cyberpunk urban style due to its very special topography, and there is an attraction called "Hongyadong", which is very similar to the scene portrayed in the Japanese Hayao Miyazaki's manga "A Thousand and One Hidden Searches", and there are also several other places in Chongqing that have been certified as World Natural Heritage Sites by UNESCO: Jinfo Mountain, Dazu Stone Carving, Three Gorges of Yangtze River, and so on.
