Sightseeing List:
Baidi City (White Emperor City) Ba Zhen Tu (Eight Elements Battle Formation)Fengjie is a county with a dense history. Since the Xia Dynasty (21st - 16th BC), people have been living in this place. The county was named during the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907) in honor of Zhuge Liang who answered the call to take care of the son of Emperor Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms Period (220 - 280).
Located in the hinterland of 
Three Gorges Reservoir Area, Fengjie County is the east gate of Chongqing, adjacent to Hubei in the south and Yunyang County in the west. Its natural beauty drew a great number of notable poets, who subsequently eulogized the area in their poems.
The area is home to the magnificent Kui Gate, which is the gate to the Qutang Gorge. Baidi City (White Emperor City) or Baidi Temple is the most attractive temple in Fengjie. One can also view historic relics such as the Tuogu Tang (Entrusting Son's Hall) and Observing Stars Pavilion (Guanxing Ting) while cruising along the Yangtze River. The Eight Elements Battle Formation (Ba Zhen Tu) is a spot favored by the lovers in the classical Chinese novel Romance of Three Kingdoms. Xige Thatched House where Du Fu (a renowned poem of Tang Dynasty) lived for two years is also situated in this area.
Other attractions like Xiaozhai Tiankeng, the world's first giant karst pit, Tianjing Gorge Difeng (deep karst fissure), and the underground river, Longqiao River (Dragon Bridge River) are all worth a visit.
Fengjie County was submerged by rising water caused by the Three Gorges Dam Project. A new area has been built in Fengjie, with a length of 15 miles stretching from Baidi City in the east to Sanma Mountain in the west. The county is now developing quickly and people live comfortably in the new territory.

The Second Three Gorges Fengjie (Kuimen) International Low Level Sky Diving will be held in the near future. The exact time is to be fixed.
Two parachute drop zone have been set up. One is located on the top of Taozi Mountain which is 1,100 meters (3,608 feet) above the Yangtze River. The other is located in the Chalk Wall (Fen Bi Qiang) to the southern bank of Qutang Gorge, which is only 140 meters (459 feet) above the Yangtze River. So the athelets are required to open the parachute within two seconds after jumping, which is indeed a great challenge.
The auditorium will be placed in Kuimen Ancient Statues Museum and Baidicheng (White Emperor City) Scenic Area.
