I took a trip to the real-life 'Underworld'

Fengdu County on the banks of the Yangtze River is often shrouded in mist, and Fengdu Ghost City looms faintly in the fog. That ethereal feeling indeed has a touch of mythical dreaminess. Fengdu Ghost City includes Fengdu Ming Mountain, Ghost Kingdom Divine Palace, and Shuanggui Mountain. The mountains are dotted with ancient temples, and the main attractions include Luming Temple, Su Gong Shrine, Enlai Pavilion, and Confucius Temple. The ancient architectural structures of the 'Ghost City' include beam-lifting and through-purlin styles. Building materials used include bricks, tiles, wood, stone, and bamboo. The roof styles include hip roofs, suspended roofs, hard roofs, spire roofs, and various combinations. Unfortunately, most of the buildings and statues today were constructed after the 1980s. Almost all ancient relics were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. This is a loss of historical culture and a disaster for human civilization. Every time I see these historical sites or relics that suffered calamities during the absurd years of the 1950s to 1970s, I silently recite the word 'crime' in my heart. For Chinese people, that period represents ignorance, evil, filth, chaos, destruction, and sin, representing the extinction of humanity and the release of bestiality. Facing the Fengdu Ghost City, I suddenly feel that the frenzied, violent era was the real hell on earth. The past is unbearable to look back on! Fortunately, hell is just a part of history, and the world has always been moving forward. Universal values are always accepted by all of humanity. In this light, the Fengdu Ghost City scenic area is not really a real-life 'Underworld'. After all, those who experienced the catastrophe 60 years ago are the ones who truly walked through the 'Gate of Ghosts'. Transportation Information: Take a bullet train from Chongqing North Station to Fengdu Station, transfer to a county bus, and then transfer to bus 109 at Xienanxi Bus Station to reach the scenic area.

The later constructed Guiguo Shengong is a dynamic man-made landscape. Inside the palace, modern means such as sound, light, motion, electricity, plastic, and laser are used to vividly display nearly 200 'ghost' stories of Fengdu 'Ghost City'. Shuanggui Mountain faces the Famous Mountain, and its main attractions include Luming Temple, Su Gongci, Enlai Pavilion, Confucius Temple, etc.

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.

Halloween Special! Fengdu Ghost City!

The temple complex is rather interesting and slightly different to other complexes in China due to its colours and art works. It’s definitely worth a visit if you are in Chongqing. However, be warned that on a public holiday this place is often so crowded that it can be frustrating!#Chongqing #trip #halloweenfun #halloween #Halloween2023

The mountain is not high, but it is famous for its ghosts

Do you believe in ghosts? If there are no ghosts, why are there so many legends and stories about ghosts passed down from ancient times to the present, both in China and abroad? Is it cultural heritage or spiritual comfort? The first must-visit spot on the Century Cruise is the famous mountain, known worldwide for its Fengdu Ghost City. This is China's unique 'punish the evil and promote the good, only good and harmony' culture - ghost culture, which has been passed down for thousands of years and has a long history. Although in our traditional cognition, the most ghosts come from the Xiangxi region or Yunnan region, Fengdu is still recognized as the ghost city nationwide. Fengdu Ghost City, originated in the Han Dynasty, is passed down as the capital of the ghost country, the underworld, and has become the destination for human spirits. It is not only the legendary ghost city, but also a treasure trove of folk culture and art that integrates Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. It is one of the most famous cultural landscapes on the Yangtze River Golden Tourism Line. It is said that someone flew a drone in the ghost city, and the drone was stuck in the ghost gate. Is this a coincidence or a destiny? I climbed the famous mountain with awe, passed through the Humha Temple, the Emperor's Hall, the Naihe Bridge, the Yellow Spring Road, the Wangxiangtai, the Medicine King Hall... Time travel, light and shadow trace back, enter the Century Cruise movie season, and revisit classic movies. In your spare time, you can go to the cinema on the cruise ship to watch a movie. As a movie fan, I can't miss it. After visiting Fengdu Ghost City, I suddenly remembered a classic 'ghost story' movie in the cinema - 'Ghost', Sam, who was shot and became a ghost, loved his fiancée Molly deeply, and still protected his lover all the time after death, and ran to heaven after fulfilling his long-cherished wish. I seem to understand that the 'ghost culture' of the world converges, all are the cultural core and spiritual heritage of 'punishing the evil and promoting the good, only good and harmony'.

For those who go to heaven, it's another pagoda and 'nice temple' to look around.
