广元千佛崖摩崖造像

Guangyuan Thousand-Buddha Cliff is located 4 km north of the Guangyuan city, on the eastern bank of the Jialing River. The carving of Buddha statues on the cliff began during the late Northern Wei period and continued through subsequent dynasties, with the majority of the carvings made during the Ta

ng Dynasty. No new carvings were added after the Qing Dynasty. The carvings are distributed along the eastern bank of the Jialing River, spanning 417 meters from north to south, reaching a height of more than 40 meters. As of today, 848 niches remain, containing over 7,000 statues.
