		Fengdu is a smallish city about 400km (249 miles) away from the new dam, the first stop for many of the freighters and ferries travelling downstream from the regional capital, Chongqing.
		The volume of trade that passes downstream has always attracted people, and farmers have taken advantage of the surrounding land, which is fertile and rich with the nutrients from the river's silt deposits.
		Fengdu may have been cleared of its inhabitants, but many of the other towns along the route are inhabited by the old and incapacitated who are reluctant to give up their homes.

	VIA Online: Yin and Yangtze
		As peddlers crowd around you hawking booklets on the city's lone attraction, the Emperor of Hell Temple, a bizarre hilltop shrine that houses satanic statuary engaging in gruesome forms of torture, you glance up and spy a sign 25 feet above the sidewalk on the wall of a building.
		The sign shows where the Yangtze waterline will be as of 2003, when the first stage of the controversial Three Gorges Dam is completed, Asia's longest river rises 135 meters, and this city of 65,000 disappears underwater forever.
		We saw bright new cities, including new Fengdu, sprouting on hilltops and watched laborers carry rich riverbed soil—baskets full of it, on both ends of straining bamboo poles draped across their shoulders—to dump trucks so it could be moved to cropland being created for the displaced farmers.

		Now that generations of tombs have been consigned to the depths of the Three Gorges Reservoir, the ghosts of Fengdu will be joined in their watery home by those whose descendants have been forced to desert them.
