Excursão de um dia às esculturas rupestres de Dazu, em Chongqing, e à montanha Baoding.

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!

这是一次很棒的旅行，参观了联合国教科文组织大足石刻遗址。这次旅行计划得非常好，时间也刚刚好，可以尽情享受整个过程。尽管只有中文讲解，但作为一名只懂一点点中文的外国人，这次旅行仍然很愉快，因为导游能够与我进行基本的沟通。虽然我在旅行中听不懂大部分讲解，但遗址有标牌，上面有一些解释。总的来说，尽管没有英文讲解，但仍然强烈推荐给外国游客。

This group tour experience was quite good. Xiao Wen's professional explanations ensured we weren't just sightseeing superficially. We are from Taiwan, and everyone else could pass by facial recognition (we had already taken photos upon entry, so I'm not sure what went wrong), but we had to enter manually. We fell behind and everyone else had already boarded the shuttle bus. Although I was a bit nervous, the tour leader immediately notified other leaders to let us prioritize queuing to catch the shuttle bus, so we ultimately caught up with everyone! This trip does not include the 30 yuan lunch fee (it's the only restaurant, otherwise you'd need to bring your own fruit and bread), and the shuttle bus is 22 yuan, to be paid to the tour leader when boarding! The group lunch was very simple, but enough to fill you up. There's a convenient small shop at the entrance where you can buy water and some small fruits!

This is the best way to visit Dazu rock carvings! Logistics are organized for you, so just relax and enjoy the day! It is a long day as it's a long drive there and back... The Dazu rock carvings are incredibly impressive, and I'm glad I went. You only visit two sites, but they are worth it and are the main ones. If you want to visit all the sites, then you will need another day or two to explore them all as they are not close to each other. The bus was comfortable, and there were several foreign tourists on this tour as well. You won't get any English commentary, though; it's all in Chinese. The local spicy snacks given on the bus were great. Lunch is an extra cost but a nice local cuisine type family banquet meal. The museum is optional and worth your time... I'm really glad that I went. I think it's better than Luoyang Longmen Grottoes, well, it's different... there's color and more interesting carvings to view, and up close too! Definitely consider visiting Dazu rock carvings; you won't regret it!

Before or after placing an order, it's best to have a WeChat account so the tour guide can contact you. The night before, they will ask where you are staying. A large bus will be dispatched to pick you up near the Hyatt Hotel, and you might transfer to another large bus depending on the attractions allocated for your one-day tour. I joined a large bus tour and went to Changzhou Ancient City early in the morning to take photos and use the restroom. The tour guide reminded us to just take pictures, as there weren't many shops. The guide mentioned that there's only one restaurant near the Dazu Rock Carvings, and for group convenience, we would all eat a set meal together, costing 30 RMB per person (self-paid). The electric shuttle car within the Dazu Rock Carvings area costs 22 RMB per person (self-paid) for round-trip travel between the museum and Baoding Mountain Grottoes. For those joining this tour, seniors aged 65 and above receive a 50 RMB refund. The tour guide Xiao Wen we had this time was excellent. She continuously explained the history and content of the rock carvings, such as the Buddha's filial piety, the six paths of reincarnation, and the punishments of the 18 layers of hell, encouraging people to do good and accumulate virtue. If I hadn't joined the tour, I probably would have just glanced over everything. With the explanations, I felt it was very worthwhile. The tour guide offered samples of local specialties on the bus, but there was no pressure to buy. The tour ended at 18 Steps, and directly opposite was Jiaochangkou Station, which has Metro Line 1 and Line 2, making it quite convenient.

Online purchasing is very convenient. The Chinese company that guides us will add us on WeChat and arrange a meeting. A car will pick us up and take us to the transfer point where we'll board another car to take us to Taizhu. At first, I was worried about getting to the meeting point, but the company will arrange it close to our accommodation. They will pick us up at various points, so we don't have to travel far, which is very convenient. Plus, we got a better price than buying tickets near our accommodation. It's safe, and the guide is good. There was an additional charge of 22 yuan for the car and 30 yuan for lunch. There was so much food, we couldn't finish it all.

We had a wonderful time. Even though we couldn’t speak Chinese, the guide made sure we were well looked after. The scenery was impressive, and the museum exhibitions were beautiful and organized

A stunning UNESCO World Heritage site! The intricate carvings depicting Buddhist, Confucian, and Taoist themes are both educational and breathtaking. The site is well-maintained with clear paths. The sheer scale and artistry are humbling. Highly recommended for history buffs and anyone looking for a culturally rich day trip.

Our guide, Ms. Xiaoliu, is very knowledgeable about the history of the Dazu rock carvings. She explains in detail the story behind each carving as she leads you on the tour. She was very helpful and thoughtful throughout the entire tour – highly recommended.

Overall great experience despite the weather, the guide was very professional and considerate, pace was comfortable, she did not oversell anything and communication was clear and transparent. Also ensured our safety and waited for everyone to arrive and be accounted for.
