Two things that are easy to miss in the rush to the cliff. The museum, opened on 13 June 2015, the day the Thousand-Hand Guanyin was unveiled, sits on the Baodingshan loop between the guide hall and Dafowan and is covered by the Baodingshan ticket: some 500 stone pieces from the 75 protected Dazu sites, the heads recovered after thefts, and the story of the eight-year Guanyin restoration — 40 minutes that make the cliff legible. The digital cinema is a different thing: two films (《天下大足》 and 《大足石刻》) on an 8K dome and a 4K widescreen at the visitor centre, ¥80 extra, seven screenings a day from 9:30, ten on holidays.
