Scattered over 40-odd places across the county, the cliff carvings and statues (with Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian influences) amount to thousands of pieces, large and small. The main groupings are at North Hill (Běi Shān) and the more interesting at Treasured Summit Hill (Bǎodǐng Shān). They date from the Tang dynasty (9th century) to the Song dynasty (13th century).
