Dating from the 9th to 13th centuries, these carvings focus heavily on everyday morality, family ethics, and secular life, unlike the abstract divinity seen in other Chinese temple complexes.
Secreto Local
"Located 100km west of the city, this requires a full-day excursion. It is the perfect antidote to the hyper-modern skyline, reframing Chongqing as a deep, civilizational node."
