Sichuan Anyue Grottoes - Xuanmiao Temple Cliffside Statues

The cliffside statues are located around a mushroom-shaped flat-topped boulder, which is about 10 meters long in the front and back, about 6 meters long on the left and right, and about 5 meters high, with a flat top. There are 79 niches and caves carved on the four sides, with 1,293 stone statues, all of which are exquisite carvings from the Tang Dynasty. The main statues include Laozi and Shakyamuni sitting together, Zhenren, Twelve Time Gods, Vajra Warriors, Nine-headed Bird, Guanyin, and Shizhi.
