The Yangtze River is about 6,380 km long and flows eastwards from its source in Qinghai Province into the East China Sea at Shanghai. As the largest river in the region, the Yangtze is historically, culturally, and economically important to China. The Three Gorges is the most spectacular section of the Yangtze River and draws thousands of visitors who travel to China each year. Located in Sichuan and Hubei Province, the Three Gorges is composed of Qutang Gorge, Wuxia Gorge and Xiling Gorge.

Legend states that Ming Mountain is one of the 72 graveyards for Taoism. Tao believes that when people die, their spirits will gather at these locations. From March 3 to 15 of the lunar month, Fengdu people hold temple fair days. During the days, "spirit shows" are held in the streets, attracting many believers. Fengdu is a mystical and terrible place of spirits in the minds of the Chinese people.
