Fankuai Town
樊哙镇
A mountain town in eastern Sichuan named after the early Han general Fan Kuai, with the Qianhe River running through it. It is a must-pass point for entering and leaving the canyon.
Fankuai Town lies on the southwest side of the Bashan Grand Canyon. Legend says that the general Fan Kuai once stationed troops here, and the town takes its name from him. It has stories and memorial sites related to Fan Kuai, and the old streets along the Qianhe River still preserve some traditional eastern Sichuan houses. Since the opening of Fankuai Station on the Xiyu high-speed railway, the town has become a new gateway to the canyon. It is a good place to eat, restock and stop for about an hour. The sights are modest in scale, so there is no need to make a special trip.
