What travelers say:

20230421 Afternoon: 1. "Wangxiangtai" is located in the scenic spot "Fengdu Ghost City" of 4A. Fengdu Ghost City is the seat of the ancient legend of Yin Caodi Mansion, formerly known as "Yudu", and is known throughout the country for its unique hidden culture. The mountain where the ghost town is located is called "Mingshan", originally known as "Pingdu Mountain", and when the Northern Song Dynasty Wenhao Su Yu came to play, he created "Pingdu World Ancient Famous Mountain", so he changed his name to the famous mountain. There are also famous footprints such as Lu You, Feng Zixuan, Wang Shizhen, Feng Yuxiang and other celebrities in history. ① Address: No. 152 Mingshan Road, Mingshan Town, Fengdu County, Chongqing. ② Transportation: The bus is direct, and the driving is very good. ③ Popular season: Spring, there is a Fengdu Temple Fair on March 3 of the lunar calendar every year. ④ Duration: 2 hours. ⑤ Note: Shandong tourists enter the park for free with their ID cards. 2. There are many origins of ghost towns, and the more reliable version is the "two immortal legend": according to the West Han Liu Xiang's "Lixian Biography" record, the West Han Dynasty scattered doctor Wang Yuanyuan abandoned the official Xiu Xiu, in the famous mountains, Jin Dynasty's "fairy biography" also recorded, the great-grandfather of the Queen Yin of the East Han Dynasty and Emperor Liu Zhao's Queen Yin is called Yin Chang Born, he was in the first year of the construction of light in the East Han Dynasty (121) in the famous mountains, to the Song Dynasty, Yin Changsheng, Wang Yuan's names were simplified by the people to read as "Yin Wang", that is, "King of the Underworld", a hundred, a hundred, and a reputation has been spread out to this day. There are many legends about the history of ghost towns, but the reliability is slightly inferior. Most of the famous mountains were originally Taoist views, ranking 45th in the 72nd blessed land of Taoism (the "Water Notes" by the geographer of Northern Wei Daoyuan), but most of them were destroyed in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and many were rebuilt but many were converted to Buddhist temples. In 1958, during the Great Steel Refining Movement, many temples on the mountain were destroyed. Fortunately, Premier Zhou passed by Fengdu to stop it in time, and also adopted the opinion to simplify the name of Yuandu to Fengdu, and take "rich clothes and food". Wangxiangtai was built in Xijin and rebuilt in 1958. It was the first seven days of people who died when they climbed the towers of their hometowns.
