Standing at the 185 platform, tourists can have a panoramic view of the dam. The height of the platform is about 185 meters. It is equivalent to the height of the dam project.

Located on the Ming Mountain on the northern bank of the Yangtze River, Fengdu County is known as the Ghost City and is as a popular tourist attraction on the Yangtze River.

In the Ghost City, the tourists can see many sculptures of tortured ghosts and buildings of the netherworld, which give a vivid description of the underworld in Chinese mythology.
