Feng Du [Yangtze Cruise]

The village of Feng Du is now completely inundated, but the tourist-attraction Ghost City Temple still remains. It’s a series of temples and shrines on the mountainside. Because of all the steps, they’ve installed a cablecar,
but only the bravest dare it because of all the dangers.




















There’s a fertility temple with 1000 babies above the entrance.
Lois lit a prayer candle – I think she wants more grandchildren!


















Wonderful demons guard the entrance to an upper temple, the Ghostly Gate Pass,


















but you can only enter if you can balance for three seconds on a slippery stone to prove your worthiness.


















If you’re as uncoordinated as some of us, the prospects are not good.
