Baoding Mountain, with beautiful scenery, is carved with *** 13 stone carvings, with the largest scale in Giant Buddha Bay and Small Buddha Bay. Giant Buddha Bay is a deep horseshoe-shaped mountain bay, carved on three sides: east, south and north. Little Buddha Bay is a blueprint first, and then carved here. A large-scale group sculpture composed of 19 groups of Buddhist stories, with more than 500 Buddha statues, is exquisitely designed, but none of them are the same, breaking the saying that "a thousand buddhas have one side". Baoding Jue Yuan Cave, excavated from all stone, is as spacious as a room. There are three Buddha statues carved on the main wall of the cave. There is a kneeling bodhisattva in front of the main Buddha, bowing his head and closing his head, respectful and pious. The left and right walls are twelve-round-sense bodhisattvas sitting on the lotus platform, beautiful and solemn, with different postures. Clothes and muscles are real, just like tulle, dresses are smooth and free. Carved pavilions, figures, birds and animals, flowers and trees, secluded springs and strange rocks between walls are almost realistic works, which is the essence of the sculpture in the Giant Buddha Bay.

Dazu stone carving, "everything contained in Buddhist scriptures is without exception", has achieved a high degree of unity of "humanization of God and apotheosis of man" in art.
