    The City of Ghosts Fengdu is an antique folk-custom-culture city where Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are harmoniously integrated and famous for its affluent culture of ghosts in the world. It is located at Mingshan Town, Fengdu County on the northern bank of the Yangtze River, about 172 kilometers from the city proper of Chongqing.
    The major attractions in the area are Mingshan Mountain of Fengdu, Shuanggui Mountain, “Ghosts' Realm and God's Palace”, “Street of Hades”, Huinan Cemeteries of the Han Dynasties, Siping Forest Park, and so on. Among them, Mingshan Mountain of Fengdu, one of the 72 cave heavens and blessed regions of Taoism, is said to be the place where Yin Changsheng and Wang Fangping cultivated themselves and became immortals early or late in the Han Dynasty. The later generations mistakenly took the combination of their family names-“yinwang”, as King of the Hades who inhabited in the “City of Ghosts”; hence the name of Fengdu and the name of Mingshan Mountain-“Capital of Hades”. If tourists stride over Hell-World Bridge on Mingshan Mountain, they can get to Shuanggui Mountain, believed to be the present world, which bears many pavilions and springs like Confucian Temple, Lumping Temple, Sugong Temple, Enlai Pavilion, Yuming Spring, and so on. Imitating judicial system in the present world, the Ghost City has built up a strict-grade netherworld that merges functions of arrestment, detainment, court interrogation, adjudgement and moralization into a whole.
