Interesting facts about this location
Yunyang County
Yunyang County is a county of Chongqing Municipality in China. It is a poor and mountainous region. There is little sign of the coal mining which makes its neighbor Fengjie County to the east relatively prosperous. The main crops are corn and rapeseed. Many if not most families have members working in the coastal cities as migrant workers, providing a steady stream of income. The county seat of Yunyang is a new town, built since the Three Gorges Dam flooded the region.

Zhang Fei Temple
The Zhang Fei Temple was constructed to honor General Zhang Fei, a Chinese military leader from the Three Kingdoms Period. According to legend, the gold used to finance the construction of the temple was fished out of the Yangtze River, along with the severed head of the general, who had been killed by two of his underlings. During the 1,700 years since the temple was constructed, successive dynasties and emperors have added extensions to it.
