Things to do in Fengdu County

The Ghost City is unique in China, with a perfect combination of ghost culture and mountain scenery. There aren't many tourists, and the overall atmosphere isn't scary. The tour guide's explanation is quite informative. The shuttle bus inside the scenic area is worth taking, as it saves a lot of travel time. You can also see the Yangtze River from the mountain, which is excellent.

The scenery is quite beautiful, perfect for escaping the summer heat. Many people camp there, and you can also stay in guesthouses or hotels. We enjoyed cycling, boating, and lake tours. There's a beautiful field of verbena flowers, but it's not very large, and there aren't many places to do other activities. It's best suited for a two-day, one-night trip.

夏天很值得推荐的地方，沿途有很多小型瀑布群，到达景点之后，停车6元，沿着崖壁栈道前行大约30分钟，中途还有猴群，很有意思，到达洞里温度很低，洞里楼梯的高度落差大概有十层楼的高度。总体来说这是一个夏天爬坡不会出汗的地方

The cruise team designated scenic spots, from Fengdu Wharf directly take the battery car up the mountain. It is said to be the smallest forest park in the country, with an area of ​​only 1.5 square kilometers. It is indeed very small, and there are regular cultural performances. Apart from locals, most tourists are brought here by cruise ships.

20230421 afternoon: 1. "Huangquan Road" is located in the 4A scenic spot "Fengdu Ghost City". Fengdu Ghost City is the location of the underworld in ancient legends. It was originally named "Fengdu" and is famous throughout the country for its unique netherworld culture. The mountain where the ghost city is located is called "Mingshan", formerly known as "Pingdu Mountain". When the Northern Song Dynasty literary giant Su Shi came to visit, he created "Pingdu Tianxia Ancient Famous Mountain", so it was renamed Mingshan. In history, there are also footprints of celebrities such as Lu You, Feng Zikai, Wang Shizhen, and Feng Yuxiang. ① Address: No. 152 Mingshan Road, Mingshan Town, Fengdu County, Chongqing. ② Transportation: Direct bus access, easy to park by car. ③ Peak season: Spring, there is a Fengdu temple fair on the third day of the third lunar month every year. ④ Time: 2 hours. ⑤ Notes: Shandong tourists can enter the park for free with their ID cards. 2. There are many origins of the ghost town. The more reliable version is the "Legend of Two Immortals": According to the "Biographies of Immortals" written by Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Yuan, a doctor of the Western Han Dynasty, abandoned his official position to cultivate immortality and ascended to heaven in Mingshan. The "Biographies of Immortals" of the Jin Dynasty also recorded that Yin Changsheng, the great-grandfather of Empress Yin of Emperor Liu Zhao of the Eastern Han Dynasty, became an immortal in Mingshan in the first year of Jianguang in the Eastern Han Dynasty (121 AD). In the Song Dynasty, the names of Yin Changsheng and Wang Yuan were simplified by the people and read as "Yin Wang", that is, "King of the Underworld". The reputation has been passed down from generation to generation and has spread to this day. There are many other legends about the origin of the ghost town, but they are less reliable. Originally, there were mostly Taoist temples on Mingshan, ranking 45th among the 72 blessed places of Taoism (recorded in "Water Classics" by Li Daoyuan, a geographer of the Northern Wei Dynasty), but most of them were destroyed in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. They were rebuilt later, but many were converted into Buddhist temples. Currently, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism coexist. During the Great Steel Production Movement in 1958, many temples on the mountain were destroyed. Fortunately, Premier Zhou passed by Fengdu and stopped it in time after hearing about it. He also adopted the suggestion to simplify the name of Fengdu to Fengdu, which means "abundant food and clothing". 3. There are no stairs after this. After a flat "Yellow Spring Road", you will reach the main hall "Tianzi Hall"). The "Admonition Monument" on the road was built in the 16th year of the Republic of China, that is, in 1927 by Pengxi County Magistrate Sun Zhiguo and Tongliang County Magistrate Wu Zaiyi, admonishing the world to do more good and less evil).

Chongqing, this mountain city, offers a fantastic experience! The night view of Hongyadong is dazzling, the scenery along the two rivers is incredibly atmospheric, and the 8D magical city is truly unique. The hot pot is spicy and flavorful, and the noodles and snacks are authentic and delicious. The locals are warm and friendly, the streets and alleys are full of life, there are many photo spots, and the trip is very pleasant and well worth visiting.

It was a worthwhile trip! There was no wind that day, so I didn't need a raincoat at the crevice; an umbrella was enough. I recommend going on a sunny day for a more beautiful view. Regarding transportation, after arriving at Wulong South Station, head straight to the exit for the shuttle bus. It costs 16 yuan per person and takes about 45 minutes to reach the visitor center. Then take a shuttle bus to the Sansheng Bridge. After visiting the Sansheng Bridge, you can take another shuttle bus from the exit to the crevice. After visiting the crevice, take the bus back to Wulong South. We arrived at Wulong South around 8:50 AM, reached the Sansheng Bridge at 10:00 AM, took a bus from the crevice exit around 2:40 PM, and arrived at Wulong South around 4:00 PM. Finally, we took the G2436 train departing at 4:47 PM back to Chongqing. It was a leisurely trip overall.

Went to the Fairy Mountain, was truly a magical place. It was foggy when we arrive in the afternoon. So we can’t really see the whole grassland but truly a magical experience. Could see a family of goats and wild horses in the distance. Totally recommend the train ride up and was super cheap at 25 RMB. Shops are at the front, super convenient and cheap. An amazing place to just sit down and enjoy.

Good deeds are blessed by gods and Buddhas, while evil deeds are hard to cross the Naihe Bridge. If you do not do bad things, you will not be surprised when you cross the Naihe Bridge. Everyone has heard of the legend of Naihe Bridge and Meng Po. It is said that it is a bridge that people will pass after death. There is Meng Po on the bridge and a bowl of soup. However, today we will take a look at the story of this real Naihe Bridge. There is a Naihe Bridge in Fengdu. This bridge was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. It was built by Zhu Chun, the King of Shu Xian in the Ming Dynasty, in front of Liaoyang Palace. It has been more than 500 years since then. Later, it was changed to Naihe Bridge by Buddhists. The stone pool under the bridge is called Xuehe Pool. There are two ancient couplets on this bridge, which can be called classics. Let's read them together. The couplets on the Naihe Bridge are also called bridge couplets. The first one is: Accumulate virtue and practice, and it is easy to cross the Naihe Bridge. Greed and sin, it is difficult to escape from Jiandao Mountain. This couplet seems simple, but it is actually very reasonable. It warns everyone to accumulate virtue, cultivate kindness, do good things, and not do evil things. After all, everyone knows that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. The ancients' earnest admonitions are remembered in their hearts. The second one is: Cross the Naihe Bridge in three steps, and you will know whether you are good or evil. Walk through the gold and silver road in one breath, and you will be blessed and rich. Speaking of this couplet, it is related to the customs of the Naihe Bridge to be discussed later. It looks a bit mysterious, but it is actually very particular. Cross the Naihe Bridge in three steps to know right and wrong, good and evil, and the gold and silver road are the other two bridges. Here, we can't help but think of the principle that blessings and disasters are born together, which can also be expressed with awe. Cross this Naihe Bridge and reflect on your heart. Good and evil are in an instant. Have you ever done something wrong in your life? This also reflects the wisdom of the ancients and warns the world to have good thoughts. Next, let's talk about the customs of the Naihe Bridge. There are three Naihe Bridges in Fengdu. In front of the famous Liaoyang Temple, there are three stone arch bridges in parallel. The size and appearance of the three bridges are the same. The custom handed down from ancient times to the present is that the middle bridge can be used to test good people and bad people. The other two are different. The bridge on the left is the golden bridge and the bridge on the right is the silver bridge. This is consistent with what is said in the second couplet. Interestingly, if you are young and single, you have to cross the bridge in three steps. Men take the left foot first and women take the right foot first. If you are a couple or a lover, you have to walk across the bridge hand in hand in nine steps, so that you can be together forever. If you are a child or an older person, you can cross more than three steps, but the number of steps must be odd. If you cross safely, you are a good person, and you can pass the Naihe Bridge smoothly, and your soul will be free from suffering, and vice versa. Of course, this is just a legend and custom. The ancients spread it this way for their own reasons. The purpose is to warn future generations to do more good deeds and be good people. Pay tribute to the classics and the wisdom of our ancestors.
