History

The Dazu rock carvings date from late Tang to early Song dynasties and are a significant expression of Buddhist and Taoist art; the Leshan Giant Buddha was carved in the 8th century to tame river currents.

Conservation

The Chengdu Panda Base plays a key role in captive breeding and species recovery; visitors support conservation funding—practice low-impact viewing and avoid feeding wildlife.
