Dazu Baoding Mountain Stone Carvings tours

I love it! There’s so much history and Buddhist culture to explore there. However, the weather was extremely hot when we arrived, which made the experience a little challenging. It would be even better if the tour guide could remind guests before pickup to bring essentials such as an umbrella, hat, and sunblock. A simple reminder would help everyone prepare better and enjoy the tour more comfortably. ☀️😊

Excellent Guide & Well-Planned Tour I thoroughly enjoyed this day tour to Beishan Grottoes and Dazu Baoding Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The trip was very well planned, with sufficient time allocated at each highlight to explore and appreciate the impressive stone carvings without feeling rushed. A special mention goes to our guide, Ms. 倪晶. She was very experienced, knowledgeable and attentive, providing detailed and interesting explanations about the history, culture and significance of the monuments. Her sharing really enhanced our understanding and appreciation of the sites. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and well-organised trip. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially with Ms. 倪晶 as the guide. Thank you for making the experience so memorable!

We booked the Klook Chongqing Private Customized Tour and overall it was a good experience. The trip was smooth and convenient, and we were able to visit the places comfortably at our own pace. There was a slight language barrier, so communication was limited, but we managed fine throughout the journey. The driver provided some basic guidance where possible, which was helpful.

The small group van tour was comfortable for traveling, but the vehicle was quite old. The driver used WeChat effectively to communicate the itinerary, travel plans, and pick-up/drop-off points. As foreigners, we were able to use the translation feature to understand. On this tour, there were 2-3 small groups combined, using a Chinese guide to lead and explain the various stone carvings. It was a shame we didn't understand the language, but just seeing them was magnificent. On the way back, the driver initially wanted to drop us off somewhere else, not Jiangfabei as stated by Klook, which made us uneasy because we weren't familiar with the area, even though he said it wasn't far. However, in the end, the driver agreed to drop us off safely right at our hotel where we were picked up. Overall, the service was good, but the old vehicle was a bit inconvenient. When getting in and out, the steps inside the van seemed broken; we couldn't place our feet properly and had to step directly onto the ground.

the tour guide 许导 is friendly and helpful. there were different options while he explain during the bus ride in the morning. we paid extra for the boat ride. it was alright, the lake and mountain were clear and not polluted. we visited two out of the 5 rock carvings that is the more “compact” ones. be ready take some stairs at the start and end of the trail for the first place. walking stick is highly recommended. lunch was really nice, tasty and a lot of dishes. also fresh as some veggie were plucked by the restaurant owners that day. At the second place, there’s the buggy after the tour. the museum is worth visiting, but we had less than an hour to walk around. throughout the tour, the guide explained an in animated and philosophical manner. the carvings were so huge the camera couldn’t capture its beauty. even in person, it’s right in front of you but you can see it in its entirety. overall a nice day-tour that started early and concluded before the traffic jam.
