Miniature Craftsmanship Wonder: The area is famous for elaborately carved statues with a height below 50 centimeters. Highlights include the Rosary-Holding Guanyin and the Water Moon Guanyin with meticulous carving details.
Baodingshan: The Spiritual Dream of a Monk
Reinterpreted Thousand-Hand Guanyin: This iconic masterpiece was completed by Monk Zhao Zhifeng in the 12th century.
