Beilong Mountain Cliff Carvings

The Beilong Mountain Cliff Carvings are situated on a massive rock at the summit of Beilong Mountain, approximately 1,000 meters north of Beihui Village, Jinshangpu Township, Fanshi County. They span an area of 14.6 square meters and are divided into eastern and western zones. The eastern zone features 70 Buddha niches and one stone-carved Buddha statue. The niches do not contain Buddha statues themselves, but stone-carved Buddha images are positioned above them. The niches range from 0.26 to 0.6 meters in height, 0.2 to 0.32 meters in width, and 0.12 to 0.26 meters in depth. The Buddha statues stand 0.5 meters tall and 0.35 meters wide. The western zone includes one indistinct stone-carved animal figure, measuring 1.8 meters in height and 1.2 meters in width. Based on the carving technique and public judgment, this is a set of Northern Wei Dynasty cliff carvings.
