More from Chongqing rock carvings..

I think the kids are "done" with the rocks and the history. And Sara is less than thrilled about another traditional Chinese lunch. (Although, as it turned out, this Sichuan style meal was one of our favorites!!)

The dazu rock formations :  dazu literally means big feet !  It supposedly is from the big foot prints of buddhas. It also means land of plenty  

These rock formations tell a lot stories, mostly of Buddhism. Confuciusium. And Taoism. It was a giant religious history lesson wrapped up in rocks from over 800 years ago.
