Péngshān

Pengshan lies on the Min River north of Meizhou. At Jiangkou, where the river runs past the county, local tradition remembers the loss of treasure belonging to the rebel leader Zhang Xianzhong during the violence at the end of the Ming. Silver ingots and other objects recovered from the riverbed bear witness to the wealth carried through Sichuan in those troubled years, and to the stories that gathered around its loss.
