Fengdu Ghost City Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Fengdu Ghost City- Heaven or Hell
Fengdu Temple of Heaven and Hell starts with the crossing of an ancient bridge where the 'judge' will decide your future.
For those who go to heaven, it's another pagoda and 'nice temple' to look around.
For the less fortunate the jury a bunch of funky looking jesters and the executioner will choose any number of ways to remove your evil from the world.
Not the usual temple in China, but definitely worth a visit.
Getting There- Fast train to Fendgdu from Chongqing
Coffee- When you are done with the temple and/or humidity, head to Vera's Coffee for a A/C cafe with tasty treats

The Fengdu Ghost City
#chinatrip It's a neat place to learn a little more about Taoist and Buddhist beliefs. The temple complex is actually a replica of the original, which was sadly razed during the Cultural Revolution. So although most of it dates back to only the last 10-20 years, it does faithfully recreate what was here before. The only original piece is the Lord of the Netherworld, 'cause even when following the Chairman's orders, the locals weren't stupid.
The place is made up of a series of different temples, all fulfilling various purposes in Taoism and Buddhism.

Sichuan is truly a magical place, Fengdu Ghost City
Fengdu County covers an area of 2910 square kilometers. Fengdu Ghost City originated from the historical and cultural city of the Han Dynasty, and it is known as the dwelling place of the 'Ghost Capital Kyoto'. During the second year of the Yongyuan period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was set up as a county and named 'Fengdu County', which has a history of more than 2000 years. Around the year 270 AD, the Jin Dynasty scholar Ge Hong described in his book 'Biographies of Immortals' the tales of Yin, Wang becoming an immortal. Subsequently, with the continuous deliberate embellishment by successive ruling classes, a relatively comprehensive ghost city was formed. Eventually, the famous 'Ghost City Culture' was established.

Taiping Dam Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Taipingba in Fengdu, Chongqing, is a great destination for health preservation, summer retreat, and vacation
The area around Taipingba is surrounded by high mountains without cliffs and precipices. Gentle slopes form the mountains, which are covered with dense forests. At the foot of the mountains, there are grasslands, and farmlands are clustered around the mountainsides. Houses are irregularly yet naturally situated there, forming traditional settlements that create a vast scene in the mist.
In the summer, Taipingba is free from the scorching air and the steamy heat. The sun is strong, but the atmosphere is refreshing and pleasant. Many elderly people from the city flock here to escape the summer heat.
As night falls, the sky is dotted with stars, and the people on the ground are singing and dancing in peace and contentment. Although I prefer quietness, I am surprisingly ignited by such a comfortable natural environment.
The folk band formed spontaneously by villagers and tourists is quite skilled. There is an uncle playing the saxophone and an aunt playing the suona. It's not just ordinary singing and playing; they have some level of proficiency. We stopped and listened for a long time.
