Southwest China's Chongqing Municipality boasts around 100,000 rock carvings that date back to more than a thousand years ago. They are scattered in various corners of the bustling mountainous city, with nearly half of the preserved sites in Dazu, a suburb about 50 kilometers from the city center. The Dazu Rock Carvings were listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1999.
