Yunyang County
A county in the heart of the Three Gorges Reservoir area, best known for the Longgang sinkhole geological wonder and the riverside relocated Zhang Fei Temple.
Yunyang County lies in northeastern Chongqing, in the heart of the Three Gorges Reservoir area, with the Yangtze running across the county. Longgang National Geological Park is known for its enormous karst sinkhole and glass-floored cliffside viewing gallery, and offers a rich mix of canyons, meadows and caves. Zhang Fei Temple, relocated and rebuilt because of the Three Gorges Project, stands on the riverbank; it is an important relic of Three Kingdoms culture and has been called the "Marvel of Ba and Shu." Spring and autumn are best for climbing and sightseeing, and the mountain areas are relatively cool in summer. Travelers can transfer via the airport or high-speed railway at Wanzhou and continue by road.
