Yunyang County (Chinese: 云阳县; pinyin: Yúnyáng Xiàn) is a county of Chongqing Municipality in China. It is a poor and mountainous region. There is little sign of the coal mining which makes its neighbor Fengjie County to the east relatively prosperous. The main crops are corn and rapeseed. Many if not most families have members working in the coastal cities as migrant workers, providing a steady stream of income.The county seat of Yunyang is a new town, built since the Three Gorges Dam flooded the region.
