Fei Xian Ge is one of the 14 Han to Tang and Song Dynasty rock carving groups along the Pujiang River and Linxi River in Pujiang, Sichuan province, characterized by its large scale and well-preserved condition.
Empress Wu Zetian, in the sixth year of Yongchang (AD 689), commissioned the carving of 92 niches with 777 Buddhist statues at Fei Xian Ge, making it one of the few places in Sichuan where the Buddhist rock carvings from the Tang Dynasty are still preserved.
Moreover, there are numerous traces of Taoism and Western Region culture.
The 60th niche, particularly noteworthy, houses 10 statues with a total height of 1.28 meters and a width of 1.85 meters.
Vairocana Buddha is adorned with a jeweled crown, wearing a robe, baring the right shoulder, and with a jeweled bracelet on the right arm.
To the right, a female devotee is depicted with her hair in double buns, wearing a small-sleeved shirt, a long skirt trailing on the ground, and large-toed shoes on her feet.
Fei Xian Ge is open all year round and accessible 24/7.
