Dazu District (simplified Chinese:
History[edit]
In the late 19th century, Dazu was the site of major violence led by the Elder Brothers Society against local Catholic Christians who were accused of controlling the local coal market, and resented for the large church built between two major temples devoted to Lingguan on the main market square. This church was destroyed multiple times in the 1880s and 1890s. The violence displaced thousands of people, with one incident, in 1890 leading to the deaths of 12 Christians who refused to bow to statues of Lingguan.[1][2]
In October 2011, Dazu County and Shuangqiao District were merged to form the new Dazu District.[3]
Transport[edit]
- Dazushike railway station on Chengdu-Chongqing Central line high-speed railway is currently under construction[4]
