## Toxic capsule town

[edit]

The town of Ru'ao (儒岙) became synonymous with poison. The factories using industrial gelatin to make pills were closed soon after CCTV reported the scandal on April 15, 2012.[4] A third of Ruao's 30,000 population is employed in the capsule industry.

## Tourism

[edit]

Xinchang is home to the Dafo Temple (大佛寺).
