White God City

The original name of Baidi City was Ziyang City, and the name Baidi City first appeared in the late Western Han Dynasty. When Wang Mang usurped the throne, his general Gongsun Shu divided Sichuan and proclaimed himself the King of Shu, where he stationed troops and stored grain. Gongsun Shu's power gradually expanded in the Land of Abundance, with ambitious ambitions and the heart of an emperor. He rode his horse to the mouth of Qutang Gorge and saw that the terrain was dangerous and difficult to attack but easy to defend, so he expanded the city fortifications and stationed troops for strict defense. Later, Gong Sunshu heard that there was a White Crane Well in the city, and a white mist often emerged from the well. Its shape was like a white dragon, soaring straight into the sky. Gongsun Shu played a mysterious role, saying that this was a sign of the "White Dragon Emerging from the Well" and that he would inevitably ascend to the throne and become a dragon in the future. So he proclaimed himself the White Emperor (25 AD) and established his capital here. The city he built, Chiziyang City, was named "White Emperor City", and this mountain was also renamed "White Emperor Mountain".

Chongqing Fengjie Baidi City

The Baidi City has the style of Mount Taishan Mountain and the strange stone spectacle of Tu'er Ridge. It was originally named Ziyang City and was built by Gongsun Shu, who ruled Shu in the late Western Han Dynasty. Gongsun Shu called itself Baidi, so it is called "Baidi City". Baidi City is the best place to observe the grandeur of Kuimen in the world.

Famous poets throughout history, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Fan Chengda, and Lu You, have all ascended to the White Emperor and visited Kuimen, leaving behind a large number of poems. Therefore, the White Emperor City is also known as the "City of Poetry".

On May 25, 2006, Baidi City, as an ancient building from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, was approved by the State Council to be included in the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. On June 10, 2017, the Bai Di Cheng Ruins officially launched the application for World Cultural Heritage status.
