The 18 Levels of Hell - 13.8 m long and 19.4 m wide sculpture almost covers the whole cliff. It is divided into four layers:
- top layer are ten Buddhas each in one round niche
- center of third layer is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and ten kings of the Hell on both sides
- bottom two layers are the scenes of The 18 Levels of Hell - a mountain of knives, steel bed, poisonous snakes and so on, presenting how people are tortured in hell. They acted as a series of a reminder for people to perform good deeds during their lifetime.

Baodingshan - The most prominent site of the 5 separate sites of cliffside carvings (Beishan, Baodingshan, Nanshan, Shizhuanshan and Shimenshan) It was here that between 1174 and 1252 the Buddhist monk Zhao Zhifeng ordered the start of work on the elaborate carvings along a 500-meter U-shaped section of Mount Baoding. They show the implementation of Buddhist ideas in daily life as represented by Tantric Buddhism,

FINALLY got around to installing my 2.5" leveling kit from Rough Country. Easy install and smooth ride. Also installed and wired up a 28" light bar to fill the bumper gap... After the install and during the test drive, i stumbled upon this sweet spot!
Welcome to the city of Columbia. Floating amongst the clouds, cruising far above sea level, this is a place unlike any you've ever seen. Please enjoy your voyage...
The third game in the popular Bioshock series, BioShock Infinite breaks away from the underwater setting of the first two games to take players into a floating city held aloft by dirigibles. The game is set in 1912. You play as Booker DeWitt, a disgraced former private detective who's picked up a new case. Your goal is to find Elizabeth, a young woman who's gone missing and return her unharmed. The only problem is that she's being kept on this flying city. Columbia was once a symbol of America's success as a nation, floating around the world as a traveling World's Fair, a marvel of human innovation. But strange things have happened since Columbia's unveiling in 1900, and now the city has disappeared into the clouds. DeWitt knows how to find it, but over the years stories have been told about Columbia having unlawful heavy armament and deranged citizenry. Do not expect this to be a pleasure cruise.

URBANE PSYCHONAUTEN
Vergleichbar mit einem Astronauten, der sich in die Weiten des Weltraums begibt, reist ein Psychonaut in die Tiefen der eigenen Psyche. Die imaginäre psychonautische Landkarte schließt dabei als Pole eines kaum zu überblickenden inneren Raumes beglückende Bereiche und bedrohliche Abgründe mit ein.
Meist sind die psychonautischen Reisen für Außenstehende nur schwer nachvollziehbar. Manchmal entsprechen sie dem Durchschreiten eines durchlässigen Spiegels. In anderen Momenten finden sie auf grauen Betonmauern einen kreativen Ausdruck.
Die individuelle Motivation für den gezielten Übergang in einen transzendenten Bewusstseinszustand kann sehr unterschiedlich sein. Verbindend ist vielfach die Sehnsucht nach der Erfahrung des inneren Fließens, wie es beispielsweise während eines Trance-Tanzes oder einer sexuellen Verschmelzung empfunden werden kann.
Es ist jedoch ein Trugschluss zu glauben, dass es möglich ist, sich diesem inneren konkreten Utopia auf einer rein persönlichen Ebene anzunähern und dabei die gesellschaftliche Realität zu verdrängen. Über die momentane Erfahrung hinausgehend ist ein Freiraum notwendig, der in der Wechselbeziehung zwischen persönlicher Entwicklung und gesellschaftlicher Veränderung wurzelt.
Das konkrete Utopia als ein Ort auf der psychonautischen Landkarte wird erst dann erfahrbar, wenn es gelingt Vision und Realität konsequent miteinander zu verbinden.

URBAN PSYCHONAUTS
Like an astronaut who travels through the vastness of outer space, a psychonaut travels to the depths of his or her own psyche. The imaginary psychonautical map comprises the poles of an almost incomprehensible inner realm containing pleasing areas as well as dangerous abysms.
Mostly it's not possible for an outstanding person to follow such psychonautical journeys. Sometimes they are like a flow through a permeable mirror. In other situations they find on concrete walls creative expressions.
The individual motivation for a well directed transition into a transcendental state of consciousness and thus a psychonautical journey may vary largely. A connection is often found in a subliminal level in the search of a concrete inner utopia as a place on the psychonautical map, which detached from external repressive structures and inner emotional blockage opens a feeling of flowing.
A fundamental first step on the long way is realizing that it is possible to approach this utopia through personal practice and social change, as distant and suppressed as it may seem from the outside. We may reach the stars, but only if we really try.
