China: Time Travel to the Three Kingdoms Period

If you read the Chinese historical novel, "Romance of the three kingdoms(三国演义)", then you must not miss Wuhou temple. It is a story of the fateful last reign of the Han dynasty when the Chinese empire was divided into three warring kingdoms, Wei (魏), Shu (蜀), and Wu (吳). Unfortunately, I do not read the book. Therefore, for more details of the story, please do some googlings. :)

Tips: Most of the tourism spots in China practice half price ticket for older people(above 60 or 65, depends) and student. So make sure that you remember to show them your passport or student identification.

Liu bei's palace where we found the statues of Liu Bei (the emperor), Guan Yu (a general), Zhang Fei (another general), and Liu Zhan, the grandson of Emperor Liu Bei.


This temple was dedicated to The Oath of the Peach Garden (桃園三結義), where the three warriors Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei became sworn brothers in a ceremony amid peach blossom trees.


Kong Ming court(孔明苑) had lots of display about Zhuge Liang and the three kingdoms. This Chinese historical story became lively when we visited Kong Ming court.
