Spots Views
14 km away from Dazu County, stone caring on Mount Baoding were created from 1179 to 1249, or, from the reigns of Emperor Chunxi to Emperor Chunyou in the South Song Dynasty. The person in charge was Zhao Zhifeng, who was born in Xueliang Township of Dazu County, several km away from mount Baoding. He became a monk when he was five, and moved to the western part of Sichuan Province to learn Buddhism when he was 16.Then he returned home and had the Buddhism “Daochang” built under his care. (In Buddhism “Daochang” refers to the place where the Buddhist doctrine is publicized with images.
He dedicated his following 70 years to this course until he passed away at eh age of 90, when the forest of statues was completed at a preliminary level. The Buddha Bay we are seeing now is the major part of the stone carvings on mount Baoding. This Buddhism “Daochang” also includes 12 other places and extends 2.5 km. The total number of the statues is over 10,000 and some of them are titanic and imposing with various dimensions. Since the planning was unified and the craftsmanship was consummate, there are few similarities between the statues. Moreover, the statues are each in connection with each other and are each in accordance with the Buddhism doctrine. Almost the entire creed of this religion is included in one generation and thus a Buddhism Daochang with a comprehensive, rigid creed and special features was formed. This is the only Buddhism Daochang that houses huge stone carving in China.
Jinyun Mountain, magnificently towering along the Wentang Gorge, is an anticline mountain created by the “Yan Mountain Movement” 70 million years ago. Cloud curls among the mountain, majestic, dense, and ever-changing. No one can tell whether it is fog or smoke. The cloud glows both at dawn and at dusk, rich in colors and lights. In ancient China, people call the “more red less white” cloud “jin”, and that is why the mountain is called “Jinyun Mountain” (“yun” means clouds).
Jinyun Mountain, together with the Lesser Three Gorges and Hechuan Fishing Fortress, are identified as the National Scenic Areas. Jinyun Mountain covers 76 square kilometers with an altitude of 350-951 meters. The view is delightful, and the mountain is abundant in plants. There is a famous saying goes that “In the North we have Jinyun Mountain, and in the South we have Stalagmites.”
Starting from the North to the South, there are Mount Chaori, Mount Xianglu, Mount Lion, Mount Juyun, Mount Yuanxiao, Mount Lotus, Mount Baota, Mount Yujian and Mount Xizhao. 9 mountains link one another. There are tourism spots including Foguang Rock, Xiangsi Rock, Sheshen Cliff, Dai Lake, White Cloud and Sea of Bamboos, etc. Jinyun Mountain is also rich in humanity resources, including 8 ancient temples namely Jinyun, Wenquan, Baiyun, Shaolong, Fuxing, and Shihua, and historic sites such as Stone Screen Wall of Late Tang Dynasty, Memorial Archway of Ming Dynasty, Stone Carvings of Song Dynasty, etc.
Known as the ‘Mountain City’, it has a wavy terrain and encompasses a wealth of water reserves, mineral resources, dense forests, and abundant flora and fauna. The city attracts visitors from home and abroad for its natural wonders and cultural heritage. As a common starting port for the Yangtze River cruise, tourists can go for a downstream tour to the magnificent Three Gorges.
