China Daily  

Visitors appreciate rock carvings in Baodingshan, one of the five major clusters in Dazu district, Chongqing. JIANG DONG/CHINA DAILY Cave temple protection in Chongqing requires effort, talent and pride in rich heritage A massive array of stunning rock carvings are receiving ever more attention and protection as they regain their past glory. The rudimentary wooden structure was built in the 1950s to shelter the exposed rock carvings, says Jiang Siwei, head of the Academy of Dazu Rock Carvings based in the district. The Beishan cluster is part of the Dazu Rock Carvings, which were inscribed onto the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1999, the second grotto temple entry from China, after the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Gansu province.
