Wuhou Memorial Temple

Wuhou Memorial Temple was rebuilt in 1672 in memory of Zhuge Liang, the Martial Marquis of Shu in the Three Kingdoms.
Wuhou Memorial Temple (Chinese: 武侯祠；pinyin: wǔhóucí): Wuhou Memorial Temple, located in the south suburb of Chengdu City, was built in the 6th century in commemoration of Zhuge Liang (181-234 AD), the Martial Marquis of Shu in the Three Kingdoms period. The present temple was actually rebuilt in 1672, surrounded by old cypresses and classical red walls. The temple houses 47 statues of historical figures in the Three Kingdoms, and more than 40 stone tablets. The most valuable cultural relic within the temple is the stele set up in 809. This huge stele 367-centimeter (144-inch) high and 95-centimeter (37-inch) wide is called the Triple-Success Stele. The three successes are: an article written by Pei Du, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty who served four emperors in succession, calligraphy by Liu Gongquan, one of the most brilliant calligraphers in Chinese history, and a statement about the morality and achievements of Zhuge Liang. The Wuhou Memorial Temple was listed as a national historical site by the government in 1961. People who are keen on the history of ancient China will find this spot interesting.
