context_page_description: Badong County is a county located in western Hubei province, People's Republic of China, bordering Chongqing municipality to the west. It is the northernmost county-level division under the administration of Enshi Prefecture. The Yangtze River flows through the county and the county seat is located just east of the Wu Gorge in the Three Gorges region.
  Badong County is famous for the Shen Nong Stream gorges located near Badong town. The stream itself falls into the Yangtze opposite the Badong center city.
  The Badong county seat, commonly referred to simply as "Badong", is in the town of Xinling, located on the high southern banks of the Yangtze River channel. The Yangtze valley was flooded during the first decade of the 21st century after the construction of the Three Gorges Dam to the east, but Badong county seat was mostly above the flood line, and so more of the original town survives than is the case in many other river towns along this section of the Yangtze.
context_section_description: Badong County is divided into 10 towns and 2 townships.
  Ten towns:
  Xinling (信陵镇; Xìnlíng Zhèn)
  Dongrangkou (东瀼口镇; Dōngrǎngkǒu Zhèn)
  Yanduhe (沿渡河镇; Yándùhé Zhèn)
  Guandukou (官渡口镇; Guāndùkǒu Zhèn)
  Chadianzi (茶店子镇; Chádiànzǐ Zhèn)
  Lücongpo (绿葱坡镇; Lǜcōngpō Zhèn)
  Dazhiping (大支坪镇; Dàzhīpíng Zhèn)
  Yesanguan (野三关镇; Yěsānguān Zhèn)
  Qingtaiping (清太坪镇; Qīngtàipíng Zhèn)
  Shuibuya (水布垭镇; Shuǐbùyà Zhèn)
  Two townships:
  Xiqiuwan (溪丘湾乡; Xīqiūwān Xiāng)
  Jinguoping (金果坪乡; Jīnguǒpíng Xiāng)
  The main urban area of the county (i.e., the place typically labeled "Badong" on less-detailed maps) consists of Xinling Town - the seat of the county government - on the right (southern)  bank of the Yangtze, and the smaller Dongrangkou and Guandukou towns on the opposite side of the river. They two sides of the Yangtze are connected by the Badong Bridge.
