Shibao Shan

The Shibao Shan rock carvings are over 1300 years old and evidence of the spread of Mahayana Buddhism into Yunnan from Tibet.  Representations of the bodhisattva Guanyin and other Buddhist images are carved into the rocky mountainside.  Spend a day at the grottoes or just hike around the temples through the lush forest -- perhaps you‘ll be lucky enough to come across a group of monkeys. 

Go to the historic site by vehicle (40 minutes) or take the scenic 2 hour hike from Mr. Wu‘s home.
