Cāngxī

Cangxi stands on the Jialing River among the green hills of northern Sichuan. Its name was associated with trees crowding the banks of the streams, and has been used since the Sui dynasty. Temples and inscriptions along the river reflect the district's religious and literary life. At Chongxia, a tower built in the Ming rises above the landscape, while the riverside Linjiang Temple drew the attention of poets travelling through the valley.
