Dashiwo White Jade Marble Tile Carving Art Park
The White Jade Marble Tile Carving Art Park, now a landmark in Dashiwo Town, spans over 10,000 square meters and showcases the finest stone carving works from the region. Some of its most striking pieces include:
- The "Stone God", captured mid-swing, hammer in hand.
- A tall and majestic stone tripod, symbolizing strength and tradition.
- A totem ball, intricately carved.
- The massive archway at the park entrance, weighing over 400 tons. This structure stands 8 meters high, 5 meters wide, and 23 meters long, built using 379 cubic meters of large bluestone and white marble.
- The Panlong jade pillar, a stunning front-facing piece, intricately carved from six white marble slabs, exuding elegance and simplicity.
Mine Designated as a Protected Site
According to local Dashiwo Town staff, the proven marble reserves in the area total 24.5 million cubic meters, including 800,000 cubic meters of white marble.
Dashiwo’s marble has played a vital role in China’s key construction projects since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Premier Zhou Enlai once referred to "the white marble of Dashiwo in Fangshan, west of Beijing" as a national treasure during the construction of China's Ten Great Buildings.
The town is dotted with nearly 1,000 pits and ponds left from quarrying, spread across Qinglong Mountain. The largest among them is the old Baiyutang mine in Gaozhuang.
Baiyutang: A Legacy of White Jade Marble
Baiyutang, a historic white jade marble quarry, is located in a 40-meter-wide pit. On the south hillside, towering 20-meter-high stone walls reveal layers of quarried stone. Below, emerald-green water pools around submerged white marble blocks, their depth still a mystery to locals. The quarry’s white marble quality is renowned, leading to its designation as a district-level cultural relics protection unit in 1986.
A local master stonemason explained the stratification of white marble in the quarry:
- Surface Layer – Soil.
- Second Layer – Qingbaishi, an initial form of marble.
- Eighth Layer – Huatiezi, a lower-quality iron-containing white marble.
- Deepest Layers – The true white marble, buried more than 10 meters below the surface. The submerged white marble is considered the highest quality, as the water preserves its smooth texture and lustrous appearance.
This natural wonder continues to be a source of cultural and architectural significance, solidifying Dashiwo’s reputation as China’s premier white jade marble region.
