Passage 1

The Shipai Scenery

The ancient Shipai Town, Stone Tablet Town in English, is located on Dengying Gorge between Gezhou Dam and the Three Gorges Dam. Its name was from a megalith like a huge stele at the central part of Elephant Trunk Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River. The Stone Tablet with its natural barrier,an impregnable pass of the Three Gorges, was an important place for military strategists to occupy from ancient time. During the Second World War,

the Stone Tablet site became the key fortress to guard Chongqing, because the Japanese aggressors invaded and occupied Nanjing City and Wuhan City, which forced the Chinese capital to move west to Chongqing city. In May, 1943, about 100,000 Japanese aggressors were organized to attack the Stone Tablet area, dreaming to capture Chongqing city. But they met with the tenacious resistance of the Chinese army led by the famous generals,

Chen Cheng, Sun Lianzhong and Wu Qiwei. Ror about one month's fierce fight, the Chinese army finally defeated the enemy and won the important victory, suffering heavy casualties about ten thousand people. The battle was also honored as the Chinese STALINGARD. Now, the ancient town has become a famous tourist district. Its characteristic can be summed up in the words: One, Two, Three and Four.

Here the One means to visit the battlefield of Chinese resistance against the Japanese aggressors, and the Two is for 2 streams of Yangjia Stream and Longjin Stream. The Three refers the 3

bests, ( the best stone of the Yangtze River: Lamp Shadow Stone; the best gulf in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River: Mingyue Gulf; the best cave along Xiling Gorge: Dengying Cave. ) and the Four points the Frog Spring flattered as the fourth spring in the world.
