Coisas para fazer em Dazu Baoding Mountain Stone Carvings

My tour guide is very good at explaining, but all the tour guides around are also good at explaining. The itinerary is not packed. I went to the museum, but I think the bottom level doesn't have much to see. The top level talks about similar architectures in India. I learned about Buddhism in Chongqing. They took us to a restaurant for lunch, and the food was good. They collected an extra 52 RMB from everyone for lunch.

If the shared lunch could be changed to individual meal sets, it would be more hygienic. We had to go with the arranged lunch option because there were no other food options along the way. The vehicle was a little old, and the ventilation was not very good. Just a note, you also have to pay separately for the tour explanation earpiece.

We enjoyed the tour as the guide was great in patiently explaining the history of the Dazu rock carvings. Also the agenda was not too hectic

Sehr gute Tour, der Reiseleiter war sehr sachkundig und die Sehenswürdigkeiten waren sehr interessant.

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.

愉快的短途旅行！有一些台阶和一段步行，如果您身体健康，这并不算糟糕。这一天开始得很早，结束于下午晚些时候，使得这一天相对轻松。这次旅行是用中文进行的，但我通过微信应用程序挺过来了。

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.
