Wuhou Shrine—The only temple in China dedicated to both a monarch and his minister

When you visit the Wuhou District in Chengdu, and explore Kuanzhai Alley and Jinli Ancient Street, you must not miss the nearby Wuhou Shrine. There are nine Wuhou Shrines across the country, but the one in Chengdu is unique. Chengdu Wuhou Shrine is the only temple in China where both a monarch and his minister are enshrined together, with the minister, Zhuge Liang, as the primary focus and the monarch, Liu Bei, as the secondary. Although the horizontal inscribed board above the main gate reads "Han Zhaolie Temple" (Temple of Liu Bei), both locals and tourists refer to it as "Wuhou Shrine" (Shrine of Marquis Wu, Zhuge Liang's posthumous title). Originally, Wuhou Shrine referred specifically to the shrine dedicated to Zhuge Liang, located next to Liu Bei's Hui Mausoleum. After continuous renovations and integrations during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it eventually evolved into a complex consisting of four parts: Han Zhaolie Temple, Wuhou Shrine, Hui Mausoleum, and Sanyi Temple. These are all part of the cultural heritage protection zone under the Chengdu Wuhou Shrine Museum, representing the first-ever integration of Chengdu's Three Kingdoms historical and cultural relics. The Three Kingdoms Culture Exhibition Hall is located in the Three Kingdoms Culture Exhibition Room south of Hui Mausoleum, covering an area of 1,500 square meters. The exhibition features a total of 157 items, including 104 cultural relics. Outdoors, the red walls and bamboo groves offer picturesque spots for taking photos, and many people capture memories here.
