Ziyang

This page has not been updated since June 2014.


Ziyang is the sacred place where Master Zhang Ziyang wrote the famous Daoist Script Wu Zhen Pian in 1075.

Today, it is also important for housing one of the reservoirs that supplies northern China with water.

No polluting industries allowed in Ziyang and its GDP is not calculated in the official economic assessment.

It has a lively tourist industry, with a focus on ecological and cultural tourism.
