Deyang Stone Ox Park (Deyang Stone Carvings)

ℹ️ About

The Deyang Stone Ox Park, also called the Deyang Stone Carving Park or Deyang Art Wall, lies beside Taishan North Road in Deyang, next to the Mianyuan River, and covers about 11.2 hectares. It is named after two stone oxen carved in the Tongzhi period of the Qing dynasty to guard the river, which were rediscovered during river works in 1989-1990, when the park was created. Its centrepiece is a carved stone art wall more than 1,080 m long and 7-10 m high, made up of two sculpture groups: "Soul of the East", with 35 arches and 32 dragon-coiled columns, and "Soul of China", 360 m long and completed in 2000 after 13 years, showing figures of China's 56 ethnic groups and myths such as Pangu creating the world and Nüwa mending the sky. There are also a lotus pond and a zodiac square. Admission is free; no motor vehicles.
