The Hanging Coffins of Gongxian County, Sichuan, China. Most Unique Plac...
The mysterious hanging coffins of China. And not just China at that - Sichuan, China - MY province! I've been in Sichuan for nearly four years, and I only just heard of these recently! The Bo people of what is now Gongxian County, Sichuan died out about 400 years ago, supposedly massacred by Ming imperial troops, leaving behind no written records, no monuments.....except for the hanging coffins.
The hanging coffins just may be the most unique place I've ever visited. It's so far off the beaten path that even the locals asked us, "How did you know about these?" I've never been asked that before! Haha
You'll have to take a bus from Chengdu (Wukuaishi Bus Station) to Gongxian (Gong County), then from Gongxian to Luobiao Village, where the coffins are located.
This is not your "ordinary" classical Chinese history. This is something completely different and unexpected. Come and check it out with us!
