 | Dazu rock carvings : The Dazu rock carvings are a magnificent set of Buddhist cliff sculptures carved in stone in Dazu, Szechuan province, China. They were designated a World Heritage Site in 1999.What makes the Dazu carvings so special is not their scale - they cover small areas compared to those at Datong, Luoyang and Dunhuang - but their quality, state of preservation and variety of subjects and styles. Some sculptures are small, some are huge; many are brightly painted and tell religious, moral and historical stories.
