Millennium Anyue Grottoes Pilgrimage

🗿Anyue South Line One-Day Tour｜A Journey Through Millennia of Stone Carving Art✨

The Anyue Grottoes South Line is a perfect blend of stone carving art and natural scenery. The one-day itinerary is compact yet full of surprises!

📍Must-visit spots:

✔️【Piludong Cave】18 RMB (half price for students, free for 60+): The Purple Bamboo Guanyin is known as the "Goddess of the East," with flowing robes and a compassionate face. You can capture different expressions from 16 angles— a must for photography enthusiasts!

✔️【Huayan Cave】10 RMB (5 RMB for students): The cliff carvings are magnificent, and the "Huayan Three Saints" inside the cave are solemn and serene. The cultural relics guardian uncle’s Sichuan dialect commentary is super entertaining~

✔️【Peacock Cave】🆓Free: The Peacock King niche carving is exquisite, neighboring farmland and grain drying yards, exuding a sacred aura amidst everyday life.

✔️【Mingshan Temple】🆓Free: The weathered Tang and Song dynasty stone carvings have a unique aged beauty. The cultural relics guardian uncle’s wolfdog, known as "Anyue’s Best," steals the show!

💡Tips:

▪️ The attractions are scattered; self-driving or chartering a car is recommended. The country roads are winding and require slow driving;

▪️ Wear comfortable sports shoes, as some grottoes require climbing slopes;

▪️ For lunch, we recommend Sichuan cuisine at Shiyang Town, with authentic twice-cooked pork and plain rice dumplings~

👉The Anyue stone carvings are whispers of history and faith, as well as a double shock to the eyes and soul!
