Located in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province, the Wuhou Shrine was constructed nearly 1,800 years ago to commemorate Liu Bei, founder of the Shu state during the Three Kingdom Period (220-280), Zhuge Liang, a renowned military strategist of Liu, and other eminent figures during the period.
Wandering through the shrine's lush gardens, you'll discover vibrant azaleas blooming beside impressive stone carvings depicting figures from the Three Kingdoms period. The diverse plants – from ancient cypresses to graceful bamboos – create a wonderfully tranquil atmosphere. Here, you can experience the heart of Chinese aesthetics and appreciate the natural beauty that harmonizes with the shrine's profound historical legacy.
