Fengdu Ghost City
Must Sees Three Gorges Dam Gezhouba Dam Fengdu Ghost City Shibaizhai and Zhongxian County Daning River - The Lesser Thress Gorges Shennong Stream Optional Attractions Zigui County & Qu Yuan Memorial Temple Zhangfei Temple Wanzhou (Wanxian County) White Emperor City Located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Fengdu is an ancient city with long history. It was once a part of the Ba Kingdom in the Zhou Dynasty, which dates back more than 2,300 years. According to suppositious legend, 'the dead come to Fengdu and the devils go to hell.' Thus it is also called 'City of Ghosts.' Since the Tang Dynasty, forty-eight temples have been built in this place, such as the 'Hall of the Jade Emperor,' the 'Palace of Hell,' 'Boundary Between the Living and the Dead,' the 'Bridge of Helplessness' and the 'Balcony of Nostalgia.' All of the temples there look quite magnificent while statues are extremely lifelike. In 2009, when the mammoth Three Gorges Dam is completed and reaches 175 meters high, the old county of Fengdu will be under the river water of Yangtze, but more than 90 percent of the scenic spots located in Fengdu County will remain intact, due to their high location. Fengdu inhabitants will move to a new town that is built on the other side of the river with an exciting new life.
