Fengdu Ghost City is about 110 mile (170 kilometers) downstream from
Chongqing Municipality on the north bank of the Yangtze River in the
People’s Republic of China. Fengu Ghost City is a tourist attraction
featured along a Yangtze cruise. Fengdu Ghost City is a place to learn
about Chinese ghost culture, the afterlife, and to see what the Chinese
would call a “model of hell.” Fengdu became known as Ghost City in the
Tang Dynasty (618-907) when two Imperial court officials married and
settled on Ming Mountain to practice Taoist teachings. The couples’
surnames combined, Yin and Wang, sounded like “King of Hell” in Chinese.
They supposedly became immortals
During the Tang Dynasty, a temple was erected on Ming Mountain that depicted life in hell. It displayed demonic images and torture devices, reflecting the idea that good people will be treated well in the afterlife and that bad people will be punished by going to hell.
