Thousand Buddha Rock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thousand Buddha Rock (Chinese: 夾江千佛岩) is a rock in Renshou County, Sichuan. It has over 21 different Buddhist carvings.[1] Many of the carvings were first made around the year 881 during the Tang dynasty,[1] with work extending into the Qing dynasty.[2] Previously some of these carvings were covered by the Qingyi River until exposed by the rising global temperatures.[3] The condition of the carvings has suffered due to vandalism and neglect.[2] The tallest Buddha is 2.7 m high.[4]
