Shibaozhai

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.
