Gongtan


Gongtan seems suspended in time, an old street without electric lights, a place where doors need not be locked and reliable roads are few. Most surrounding villages can only be accessed by foot. A superhighway is the Wu Jiang (the River Wu) which forms dangerous rapids and shoals in front of Gongtan.

** This all became part of the history. Local people abandoned their traditional houses and moved to new town before April 2007. This beautiful town would be flooded due to a dam construction. **
