# Yuechi County

Yuechi County (Chinese: 岳池县; pinyin: Yuèchí Xiàn) is a county in the east of Sichuan province, China, bordering Chongqing Municipality to the south. It is administratively governed by the prefecture-level city of Guang'an.
The place is accessible by bus from Chengdu and Nanchong. The town is essentially sustained by its livestock and agricultural activities, as well as agriculture-based manufacturing like bamboo-based carpet and beancurd, etc.; virtually without the presence of any significant industries.
