Wuhou Shrine 🇨🇳 Three Kingdoms times

#favouriteitinerary
Wuhou Temple, also known as Wuhou Shrine Temple of Marquis, is dedicated to Zhuge Liang, the Marquis Wu (Wuhou) of the Kingdom of Shu in the Three Kingdoms Period (220 - 280). Zhuge Liang was an excellent politician, militarist, diplomat and astronomer. In addition, the Temple of Liu Bei, the emperor of Shuhan, and his mausoleum are well-known historical sites inside this big scenic spot.

Wuhou Temple is located in the southwestern part of downtown Chengdu. The date of its establishment is unclear. We know only that it was built next to the Temple of Liu Bei. The current Wuhou Temple was rebuilt in 1672.

The main body of the Wuhou Temple, the front gate, the second gate, the Temple of Liu Bei, the Temple of Zhuge Liang and Sanyi Temple, run south to north. The vivid sculptures of Liubei, Guanyu and Zhangfei are inside the Sanyi Temple. Moreover, the Tomb of Liubei, on the west side of Wuhou Temple, is worth a visit.
