Cliff Carvings at Tianguan Temple

　　The cliff carvings at Tianguan Temple are located in Lüyuan Village, Honghua Town, Shennongjia Forest District. They were carved during the Qing Dynasty. Situated on a mountainside along the Jiuchong River, there are a total of three niches: the left niche is 1.3 meters high, while the middle and right niches are both 0.8 meters high. The niches contain Buddha statues, all wearing sleeved celestial robes, bare-chested and bare-bellied, seated on lotus thrones, with their heads now damaged. This carving complex is the only grotto statue group in the Shennongjia area and holds significant value for the study of local stone carving art and the spread of Buddhism. (Fifth Batch)
