816 Project Scenic Area
- The 816 Project Scenic Area is located in Baitao Street, Fuling District, Chongqing. As a nuclear material production base independently designed and built by New China and deployed in the cave, it is top-secretly named "816". Approved for construction by the Central Military Commission in 1966, its full name is "Atomic Reactor and Chemical Reprocessing Project in Caves for the Third Line Construction". It is a typical representative of more than 1,100 projects of the "Third Line Construction" of New China. At that time, more than 60,000 construction troops were mobilized from all over the country to rush to Baitao to start the 18-year-long construction. The project went through three stages of urgent construction, slow construction and suspension of construction. The total excavation area was 104,000 square meters. The cave consisted of 18 large caves and more than 130 guide tunnels, branch tunnels, tunnels and shafts. The main cave chamber was as high as 79.6 meters. By 1984, 85% of the construction work had been completed, and about 60% of the installation work had been completed. The total investment reached 746 million yuan (at the price of that year). Due to the complexity and arduousness of the engineering design and construction, it is called "The Three Gorges in the Cave, the Underground Great Wall" and "The He's Bi buried deep in the mountains". It has the characteristics of "Three Gods" of magic, mystery and sacredness.

As a typical representative of more than 1,100 engineering projects during the Third Front Construction period, Project 816 is mysterious, magical and sacred. It integrates many elements such as the Third Front Construction, national defense and military, and nuclear energy utilization. It has extremely high national defense and military, historical and cultural research value, and is a living teaching material for national defense education.
