Thousand Buddha Rock ( Chinese: 夾江千佛岩) is located in Renshou County, Sichuan. It contains over 21 different Buddhist carvings on rock. [1] Many of the carvings were first made around the year 881 during the Tang dynasty, [1] with work extending into the Qing dynasty. [2] Previously some of these carvings were covered by the Qingyi River until exposed by the rising global temperatures. [3] The condition of the carvings has suffered due to vandalism and neglect.
