Chongqing Xiushan Hong’an Border Town Scenic Area

Chongqing Xiushan Hong’an Border Town Scenic Area is the real-life inspiration for Shen Congwen’s novel “Border Town.” Located in Hong’an Town, Xiushan Tujia and Miao Autonomous County, Chongqing, it sits at the junction of Chongqing, Hunan, and Guizhou provinces, earning the nickname “One Foot in Three Provinces” as the true southeastern gateway of Chongqing. This destination not only embodies the poetic tranquility of literary imagination but also blends the rich cultures of ethnic minorities like the Tujia and Miao people with revolutionary historical heritage, creating a uniquely charming border town atmosphere.
