Destinations of Yangtze Victoria Cruises – Fengdu Ghost City

Fengdu Ghost City situated in the north bank of Yangtze River of Fengdu County of Chongqing Municipality. Fengdu Ghost City is a tourist attraction featured along a Yangtze Cruise.

A plethora of demon-decorated temples, buildings and statues in this river town earned it the moniker "Ghost City" – the carved facades are truly fascinating.

Fengdu Ghost City received its reputation as the "Ghost City" in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Two officials from the imperial court-Wang Fang Ping and Ying Chang Sheng were bored with political life in the court and came to Mt. Mingshan Hill outside Fengdu Ghost City to practice Taoist teachings. Both of them later became immortals by carrying out self-cultivation. The temples built on Mt. Mingshan Hill display punishing instruments and wild demon images, which vividly depict the Chinese people's imagination of Hell.

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, opposite Mt. Mingshan Hill, a new town has been established. This modern relocation village has been built for families who have moved as a result of the Yangtze's rising waters brought about by the Three Gorges Dam.

Depending on river conditions, alternate excursions may be substituted as follows: Day 2: Wanzhou; Day 3: Shennong Stream.
