Wu Hou Temple

Every Chinese would be familiar with the Three Kingdoms.Wu Hou Ci or Marquis Wu temple honours some of the characters in this period.The statues of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang his brilliant advisor and some of his loyal Generals are found here



Statue of Liu Bei.His descendents eventually lost the war
The temple has a museum for visitors to learn more about the three kingdoms period

The entrance to Liu Bei's tomb is guarded by statues

There was debate as to weather it was really his tomb. He had died in Chongqing
This is how Jinli street looks like in the day

Jinli street was renovated with funds from Wu Hou Temple


We had the typical Sichuan meal for dinner-really hot and spicy!!
