What are the nine ghost towns in the world?

Chongqing Fengdu spent 23 million yuan to package the ghost town to build the world's largest statue of the Jade Emperor in Yan Luowang.

Fengdu will be transformed into the world's largest Yan Luowang.

Recently, Fengdu County is spending 23 million yuan to carry out brand-new planning and packaging for the ghost town. After the Ghost Festival in August next year, if you visit a ghost town, you can not only visit the ghost town at night and see the world's largest Yan Luowang, but also experience "torture in hell" in the "maze of ghost towns" and "reincarnation of life and death" in the floating street.

"Jade Emperor" changed to "Yan Luowang"

The modern freehand brushwork statue of "Jade Emperor" on Paradise Hill, a ghost town in Fengdu, will soon become the largest sitting statue of "Yan Luowang" in the world after external decoration.

According to Jiliang Sun, chief engineer of the Development and Construction Management Committee of north city Management Committee in Fengdu County, the new ghost town reconstruction plan is divided into six patterns, and the famous mountain, Paradise Mountain and Shuanggui Mountain form a zigzag scenic spot. The small inner lake at the intersection of the three mountains will be built into "Northern Ghost", "Yellow Spring" and "Happy Valley" with reference to historical sites. Now, the amusement item of the "Ghost Kingdom Shrine" has been changed to "Miyagi, Yamaraja", and the identity of the famous mountain is the ghost kingdom court of ultimate judgment, which is in line with the traditional capital pattern of China.

Hiding "Hell" under "Nine Palaces and Eighteen Temples"

Fengdu has now built a long dike with a length of about 3 kilometers below the famous mountain, Paradise Mountain and Shuanggui Mountain. The long dike, named Lingdi, was carefully built according to the famous legend of Fengdu, "Kowloon holds the saints". Looking at the Lingdi from a distance, it is a flying dragon heading for a famous mountain. Looking at it from a close distance, it is a ghost everywhere.

On the land of .9 square kilometers surrounded by Lingdi, the unique "Temple City" in Fengdu history will reappear here, and its buildings are almost all temples arranged in the pattern of "nine palaces and eighteen temples", with five landscape buildings of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth" in the middle. This place will be a city that never sleeps, and Fengdu folk culture and famous snacks will all appear here.

The underground of the "Nine Palaces and Eighteen Temples" is a "ghost town and hell", which is like a maze, with heart-digging, laparotomy, ghosts crying and wolves howling.

"the city of reincarnation" rises and falls with the tide

According to the change of the water level of the Yangtze River, the old city of Fengdu will surface for more than four months every year. Taking advantage of this feature, the county will build a "reincarnation city" and a "water city" that periodically "lives and dies" with the tide of the river. Fengdu will combine the annual temple fairs, large and small, with the traditional Ghost Festival-Meng Lanjie, and organize tourists to go to the "city of reincarnation" for carnival in the middle of the night-so that tourists can wear ghost masks, sit by the river or on wooden boats, and throw water on each other with wooden scoops full of ghost faces to cool off the summer.

"The new ghost town has increased participatory tourism projects, allowing tourists to enjoy excitement and pleasure in a horrible atmosphere." The person in charge of Fengdu Tourism Bureau said that the new ghost town will take shape next year, and tourists can visit the ghost town at night. Five years later, the newly-built ghost town scenic spot can receive more than 3 million tourists every year, turning the current passing tour into a destination tour.
