Chengdu Wuhou Shrine Travel Guide

Every morning, when the sun has not yet risen, Wuhou Shrine is immersed in tranquility and solemnity. Whether it is the majestic stone lion at the door or the plaque inscribed with "Han Zhaolie Temple", it reveals the heaviness and charm of history. Wuhou Shrine, also known as Han Zhaolie Temple, is the only temple in China where the monarch and the minister are enshrined together, and it is also a memorial place for Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and the heroes of Shu Han. It is rare for the monarch and the minister to be enshrined in the same temple. After experiencing the baptism of war, the existing Wuhou Shrine was rebuilt on the ruins during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, forming a unique architectural pattern with the monarch temple in the front and the minister temple in the back, and a temple with two halls. Liu Bei Hall is located in the front, and Zhuge Liang Hall is in the back. The two are arranged along the north-south axis, forming a complete and elegant five-fold building group. Here, you can see two symmetrical long corridors, and the important figures of the Shu Kingdom are all enshrined in statues. The main characters such as Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have their own special halls, while other important civil and military officials are respectively set up in the civil and military corridors. On the walls on both sides of the temple, there are also two famous articles by Zhuge Liang, "Longzhong Dui" and "Chushi Biao", which show his foresight and the feelings of worrying about the country and the people. The ancient trees in Wuhou Shrine are towering, the trees are shaded, and the environment is quiet and elegant. The antique buildings and unique pavilions make people feel particularly comfortable walking in the morning. The buildings in the temple are connected to the corridors, winding and winding, making people lose their direction unconsciously while visiting. However, inadvertently, a lotus pond came into view, with green water rippling and lotus flowers blooming, just as the poem "Green lotus covers green water, hibiscus wears red and fresh" depicts, it has become an unexpected beauty in Wuhou Shrine.
