Fengjie.

Fengjie County holds the western end of the Three Gorges, where the Yangtze cuts the Qutang Gorge through the Qiyao Mountains. A county has stood here since 314 BC, when Qin set up Yufu; in 649 it took the name Fengjie to honour Zhuge Liang's loyalty to Liu Bei. At 4,098 square kilometres it is the second-largest county-level division in Chongqing, with 41.5 kilometres of the Yangtze and ground running from 86 metres at the mouth of the gorge to 2,123 metres. It carried the heaviest resettlement in the reservoir, 128,000 people, and its navel orange is a geographical indication product. Poets left ten thousand poems here.
