Scenic spot features: Wuzhangyuan Zhuge Liang Temple is a cultural site with a long history. It was once the site of the military camp of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han. The Battle of Wuzhangyuan in the Bagua Formation was a battle that took place during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu Han, led his army on the sixth northern expedition, starting from Hanzhong, taking the Xiegu Pass, crossing the Qinling Mountains, and stationed in Wuzhangyuan. The Wei and Shu armies confronted each other at Wuzhangyuan for more than 100 days. In the end, Zhuge Liang became ill due to overwork and died here without fulfilling his ambitions. This building faces south and north, towering over the original site, magnificent and majestic.
