Located in Huanghua
Village in Shunxi Township, 8 km east of the
seat of Zhongxian County, is the famous Ruins of Huanghua City
in Chongqing. It was first built in the first
year of the Baoding reign period (1225) and this
ancient city sits on an islet surrounded by
water. At the end of the Song Dynasty
(960-1279), the city was the base to fight
against the Yuan army but was later destroyed
during the war.
Tourists can still

of the Qing Dynasty and the ancient tombs of the
Ming and Qing dynasties. On Baojiang Rock found
in the east, there is an inscription of the Song
Dynasty in addition to the many stone carvings
of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
