Zhong County, Chongqing Municipality.

The name "Zhong" (忠) means "loyalty." It is named after the historical story of General Ba Manzi, who chose to be killed to keep his Kingdom together. Emperor Li Shimin (李世民) of the Tang Dynasty named Zhong County "Loyalty County" to honor General Ba Manzi.

We had an excursion tonight that took us to a multimedia live show, which was incredible. It illustrated how this general unified three cities during a Civil War by submitting to give up his head.

It was multimedia, horses, soldiers, and just quite incredible. Actually my phone filled up so I didn’t get a chance to film much of it so you’ll have to just come and watch it yourself.

Some impromptu scenes entering the Gorges.

More scenes of the gorges including a cliff-side coffin ⚰️ that was placed in the rock.

We saw some monkeys.

The cliffs are very high, but you really cannot tell from these pictures.
