'Fengdu County' (Simplified Chinese:丰都县; Traditional Chinese: 酆都縣) is a county of Chongqing Municipality in China.
There is a necropolis called Fengdu modelled after the Chinese Hell in Taoist mythology, built over 1800 years ago. The famous ghost town will become an island after Three Gorges Dam project. Specifically, part of the ghost town of Fengdu will be submerged, but scenery above the "Door of Hell" will remain.
