Chang Jiang 1: Fengdu, the city of ghosts

First destination in this cruise, the city of ghosts is on a sacred hill, almost submerged by the rising waters of the Chang Jiang. A fantastic place full of temples, the theme is hell and punishment/salvation, or damnation/rebirth.

There are statues..


and terrible guardians and judges...



some scenes from Hell a la chinese...
(pretty similar to christian hell btw)


mass tourism and interesting architecture...


and a theme park city of ghosts, complete with dungeon ride!
