Fengming Mountain, Shapingba District

It was named Xianghumiao and Longdengwan. It is said that a phoenix once sang there in the late Qing Dynasty; therefore it was named Fengming Mountain (literally, the Phoenix-singing Mountain).

Tiantangbao, Banan District

Tiantangbao is a village in Banan District, Chongqing. According to the elders, there was a blockhouse lit the whole night and the local people called it “Tiandengbao” (Lighted Blockhouse). But as time passed, it was misread the “Tiantangbao”, which is still used today. (Translated by Xu Mengmiao, Fathom Language Limited)
