The current regime in China, in an attempt to boost tourism, is transforming a number of traditional sites, including Buddhist temples which they rather ignominiously seized from their adherents during the Maoist Revolution, into tourist attractions. Among these temples and holy sites was Fengdu, a traditional site of propitiation, which is discussed in the following article from the government's Beijing Review.

Han Baocheng. 1991, June 17-23. Fengdu -- A 'Ghost City.' Beijing Review, vol. 34, no. 24, pg. 46.
