Dazu rock carvings have astonishingly artistic works with rich sprinkle of secular & spiritual symbols of everyday life of China. The reclined Buddha statue & the prominent cave of fulfillment are the precious view of spiritual, history or art enthusiasts. From hell & drunkard with mother to Liu Benzen with tantric control are rock carvings of ultimate significance.
