Live Your Best Lives
The only temple in China where both the emperor and his ministers are worshipped together, it commemorates Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Kingdom. It was incorporated into the Han Zhaolie Temple in the early Ming Dynasty and is also the most influential Three Kingdoms Relics Museum in the country. It consists of three parts: Huiling, Han Zhaolie Temple, and Wuhou Temple. Since Zhuge Liang's influence in the minds of ordinary people exceeds that of Liu Bei, the folks usually call it "Wuhou Temple". Wuhou Temple is divided into the main gate, the second gate, Liu Bei Hall, the hall, Zhuge Liang Hall, Sanyi Temple, etc., arranged on a central axis from south to north. There are 50 statues of Shu Han heroes such as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in the temple. Tips: If you are also a fan of the Three Kingdoms, then this place will definitely satisfy your thirst for history.

The famous "Red Wall Bamboo Shadow" in the Jinguan Deep of Chengdu is here, don't forget to take pictures to commemorate it.

The mausoleum of Liu Bei is very small, and he was a great man.
The Mausoleum of Han Zhaolie, also known as the tomb of Liu Bei, is not very large in scale. It was preserved probably because he died suddenly. The scale and burial objects of the mausoleum are very different from those of the imperial mausoleum. In addition, Liu Bei represented justice and has always been respected by later generations. There is also a saying that this is just a cenotaph for Liu Bei.
The Han Zhaolie Temple is the real place to commemorate Liu Bei. The Wuhou Temple was incorporated into the temple later. They were separate in the past. The word "Mausoleum" of Emperor Han Zhaolie is no longer clearly visible due to years of weathering by the natural environment.
Historical sites, a visit here, not well known.
After entering the courtyard, you will see the former and latter Chu Shi Biao and the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, the Tang and Ming steles, as well as many camphor trees with a unique smell!
Han Zhaolie Temple, a temple built to commemorate Liu Bei, the emperor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, is located in Wuhou District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province.
A dark black screen wall facing the street separates the Wuhou Temple from the street, with a yellow brick-carved pattern of two dragons playing with a pearl in the middle. The golden plaque on the temple gate reads "Han Zhaolie Temple" solemnly, and the stone lions on both sides of the vermilion gate are majestic and majestic.
There are six stone tablets on both sides of the road from the main gate to the second gate, a Ming tablet on the left, a Tang tablet on the right, and two Qing tablets on each side. The Tang tablet is called the "Three Wonders Tablet" because it was written by Pei Du, the prime minister of the three dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, written by Liu Gongchuo, the brother of Liu Gongquan, and engraved by Lu Jian, a famous craftsman in Shu.
The entrance of Wuhou Temple. The roof is of hard-roofed style, brick and wood structure, divided into two rooms by a central column. The main door is open in the middle, and you can climb the steps and look up at the large vermilion plaque with the golden characters "Han Zhaolie Temple" in front of you, which is awe-inspiring.

It is also one of the attractions of Wuhou Temple and is included in the ticket price of Wuhou Temple.
The history of Wuhou Temple can be traced back to the construction of Liu Bei's Huiling in 223 AD. It is the only temple in China that enshrines both the emperor and his ministers.
I like the Three Kingdoms and Chengdu. Not only because this city has history, but also because I like her.
Maybe I'm not that interested in the Three Kingdoms, so I didn't feel anything when watching it.
Han Zhaolie Temple, a temple built to commemorate Liu Bei, the emperor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, is located in Wuhou District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province.
The Temple of Han Zhaolie, commonly known as the Liu Bei Temple, is located in the middle of the Wuhou Temple cultural relics area.
There are four big characters "Han Zhaolie Temple" carved in the Qing Dynasty on the plaque at the gate.
Entering the gate, there are Tang and Ming steles on the left and right sides. In the dense shade, there are six stone steles, the largest of which is the "Temple of the Ancestral Hall of Zhuge Wuhou, Prime Minister of Shu Han" from the Tang Dynasty. It has a high cultural relic value and is called the "Three Wonders Stele". The inscription was written by Pei Du, a famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, written by Liu Gongchuo, and engraved by Lu Jian, a famous craftsman. They are all very exquisite, so it is called the Three Wonders Stele. The inscription focuses on praising Zhuge Liang's short and tragic life; it tries its best to praise Zhuge Liang's noble character, civil and military achievements, and uses this to inspire the rulers of the Tang Dynasty.
Han Zhaolie Temple, also known as Liu Bei Temple, is located in the middle of the Wuhou Temple Cultural Relics Area.
A scenic spot in Wuhou Temple, the scenery is pretty good
It is located inside the Wuhou Temple. It seemed to be located one in front of the other in the past, but later it evolved into a temple within the temple.
Well, a good tour guide is the key. Without a tour guide, you might just walk past it and be surprised when you see Liu Bei's tomb in the back: Eh?! How come Liu Bei is buried in the prime minister's ancestral hall? :)
PS: There is a free bus between Du Fu Thatched Cottage and Wuhou Temple. Just ask the ticket seller before buying the ticket:)
I think if you are interested in history, you can go and visit it. You must hire a guide. Otherwise, it is just a small garden with some stone sculptures. It is difficult to feel the sense of history.

Han Zhaolie Temple, in which there is a gilded statue of Liu Bei in the main hall, and his grandson Liu Chen is enshrined on the left. There is a side hall on each side of the main hall: the east side hall "Loyalty to the Sky" has statues of Guan Yu and his son and Zhou Cang, and the west side hall "Sincerity Through Gold and Stone" has statues of Zhang Fei's three generations of ancestors and grandchildren; going south from the main hall, there are the "Wenhua Assisting the Country" corridor for civil officials and the "Wuxiong Zhibing" corridor for military generals on both sides. The east and west corridors have 14 seated statues of Shu Han civil officials and military generals respectively, with Pang Tong as the head of the civil officials corridor and Zhao Yun as the head of the military generals corridor. Each statue is life-size, and there is a small stone tablet in front of the statue, with its name and life story inscribed on it for the convenience of tourists to understand. The statues are lifelike, quite different from the images in TV dramas, and most of them were sculpted during the Kangxi, Qianlong and Daoguang periods of the Qing Dynasty; going further south through the second gate, there are six Tang and Ming steles on the left and right sides respectively. The largest one is the "Shu Han Prime Minister Zhuge Wuhou Ancestral Hall Stele" from the Tang Dynasty, which is known as the "Three Wonders Stele".
