Ānyuè

Ānyuè's sandstone cliffs hold a remarkable collection of Buddhist carvings. At Wòfóyuàn, sculptors began cutting images and scriptures into a ravine during the Tang; many surviving figures date from the Five Dynasties and Song. In 1586, patrons Lei Jinde and his wife funded work on nine arhat figures in the Song-era Dàbōrě Cave, showing that these shrines still attracted support under the Ming.
