<p align="justify">Zigui County of the Hubei Province is the birthplace of the great poet <a href="/amaze_yangtze/flavor/qu-yuan.htm">Qu Yuan</a> and <a href="/amaze_yangtze/flavor/wang-zhaojun.htm">Wang Zhaojun</a>, one of the Four Beauties of ancient China. It covers an area of about 2,427 square kilometers (599,725 acres) and has a population of about 400,000. The Yangtze River passes through the county and divides it into two parts, forming a large basin with the <a href="/amaze_yangtze/attraction/xiling/">Xiling Gorge</a> in the middle. As a result of the <a href="/amaze_yangtze/attraction/city/yichang/three-gorges-dam.htm">Three Gorges Project</a>, the reservoir flooded part of the county, which was once home to 100,000. These people had to be resettled, and to accommodate, a new district was constructed in the eastern part on the county. The displaced residents were relocated there in 1998.</p> Bold Italic (Your IP address will be recorded in this page's edit history.)
