Dazu and Anyue Ancient Rock Carvings Combined Private Tour
Overview
Dazu Rock Carvings have been a must-go highlight ever since being inscribed on UNESCO world heritage list, however the 900-year-old Hutou village ancient carvings which just neighbors to Dazu barely draws attention for it's remote location and uncomercialized status, that's also the reason why almost no tour guides was trained for this site.
We did lots field work on it, we drove through the country side, talk to the villagers, gained first-hand stories.
The original status and incredible preservation give Hutou village rock carvings a high value on artistic, historic reserch and deep-touch tour, that's why we pick it up and present to our travellers.
