Dazu Rock Carvings

 This day trip was just amazing.  


 These carvings dated back to 1174-1252 A.D.
They are to depict and inspired from the life and teachings of Buddhism and Taoism.
This is one of the 75 sites around the world that is part of the "World heritage sites", and is protected.

 One of our kids favorite carvings were the 11 ways to torture someone.
Of which included depictions of people being boiled in some substance, knee bashing and
 being run over by a heavy wheel.  We sat and looked at this forever!  
I hope they didn't get any ideas...



Really, one of the highlights of Chongqing.  Amazing!
