| Baodingshan, Dazu, Chongqing |
This trip was relatively short, just a few days in Chongqing Municipality. I knocked three temples off my list, and took a side trip to see some of the amazing rock carvings of Dazu County.
A quick appreciation: Several (online) commentators said that Beishan may be "disappointing" after visiting Baodingshan. I disagree. Admittedly, the work at Baodingshan is colossal. But there is a popular, almost cartoonish quality to many of Baodingshan's images. I found the work at Beishan to be of a more artistic quality. There is little at Baodingshan I would call "exquisite"; but much at Beishan is.
Incidentally, here's a brief itinerary for Trip 15 on my Key Temples archive.
Enjoy!
