Located in Zhong County, at the south bank of the Yangtze River, 278 km away from Chongqing, Shibaozhai was first built in the Qing Dynasty in 1750, the mountain looks like a rectangular rock with sheer cliffs, and the wooden architecture catch upon the cliff with a height of 56 meters and 12 stories, standing on the riverside. The water level will reach the gate of the big pavilion at 2009, currently many tour ships dock here several hours for climbing and sightseeing.

Now a days, climbing from the pier to the top of Shibaozhai and round back from a back footpath takes about 1.5 hours. From our perspective, the reason local people enshrine GuanYu (who is known as military god in Chinese) in the first room of the temple is there was local troop gathered here.

Baidicheng or Baidi Temple has a quite good position for a villa anyway, it is located at the north bank of the Yangtze River and the entrance of Qutang Gorge as well as the starting point of Three Gorges, 8 kilometers from Fengjie county.

At the pier, the building has sunk into water, many fishers sell the fried Yangtze fishes at a reasonable price, sedan chair is available from the pier to Baidicheng portal with two chair men, it costs about RMB40 for up-carrying. En route, tourists will see a 175-meter water level of Three Gorges Project.

Baidicheng is a small temple just like memorial of Three Kingdom period, and ruins of local culture. Yes, it has a good scenery surrounded by and the spectacular view of Kuimen——the starting point of Three Gorges.
