Today we decided to venture out of the Chongqing area and see the rock carvings in Dazu. In order to get there, we had to take two buses for about 2 hours total time to get there. But the adventure started when we left for the bus station.
To get to the bus station, we had to walk down dirt paths and cross small wooden bridges to get there. It was an interesting walk and amazing that something so remote could be so close to civilization. The bus station was like any bus station in America, full of people and dirty. The buses were the same but I didn't mind it. The first bus ride took us to a smaller city and the second took us to a remote mountain with many Buddhist carvings.

The Dazu carvings were amazing. They were started in the 12th century by Buddhists and it goes throughout the entire valley. I can't go into to much detail about the carvings because I couldn't read much of it, but they all represented different parts of the Buddhist faith.
