A not to be missed attraction, the Beishan Stone Carvings deserve to be much more famous than they are, we had never heard about them until we visited the area. They are worth the visit. Be aware that if you hire a guide they may also want to take you on a shopping tour, be firm when you say you do not want to do that. #merrychristmas #merrychristmas
