Lao Tzu's Rock at the foot of Mount Qingyuan in Quanzhou, East China's Fujian province. The statue of Lao Tzu, a philosopher in the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC to 476 BC) and founder of the Taoist school of thought, was carved out of a natural rock during the Song Dynasty. The 5.1 meter-high statue, vividly and exquisitely carved, is the largest Taoist stone sculpture in China now under state protection. [Photo/CFP]
