I did not find Dazu as a location on VT. So: where is Dazu? I would like to build an extra Dazu-page on VT.
Thanks
I think Dazu belongs to Chongqing, here is a webpage about Dazu:

Dazu is 163 kilometers from Chongqing, not exactly close. So maybe you just need to find somewhere closer if you can.
My family went to Dazu with a tour group and our bus departed from ChongQing. The rock carvings are beautiful and mostly in good shape and not vandalized. They gave us a new appreciation of the skills of the rock arts. We were very impressed.

Dazu located in the southeast of Sichuan province, 271km to Chengdu and 163km to Chongqing province.
Chinaguy the member was referring to the VT location database, albeit waaaaaay back in 2005! I think they know now :-))
As an inland city, Chongqing is more morden than I've thought. there's 2 river across the city, and the bond is so beautiful.
the food is very very delicious, but most of them are so hot. I am weak of it, so regret. My destination is not Chongqing city, my purpose is trekking aside Yangze-river, on an long-historial way aside the river. ....Tried, hurted, but excited.
About 130km away from chongqing is Dazu, an old small town. There is a odern highway nw, which makes the trip to Dazu a day-trip from Chongqing. Around Dazu there are many beautiful Buddhist grottoes, reliefs and sculpture hidden in the mountains. This area has been so far away from everything, that the grottoes survided the Cultural Revolution without any harm done to them. It is said, that there are about 50.000 Rock Carvings in the hills around Dazu. They are from Buddhist, Daoist and Confucian origin.
In 1991 I visited the sculptures of Beishan, which are only a small walk away from Dazu Center. I liked hiking in the mountains and to discover the small temples and the beautiful sculptures.
This year (2005) I saw the sculptures of Baodingshan. Baodingshan is about 15 km from Dazu. There are mInibuses going there. Hidden in a beautifula narrow valley are the colorful sculptures. They are many centuries old, the oldest Rock Carvings are from Tang-Dynasty. In Baodingshan a Buddhist sect carved their ideas of a mixed Buddhist and Daoist Universum into the walls of the valley. There are impressive reliefs of Hell and Saints. Most impressive and still worshipped is the sculpture of Boddhisattva Avalokiteshvara, a beautigulg statue with thousand arms (!).
