Wuhou Shrine
Wuhou, China
Wuhou Shrine brings the stories of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang into a sequence of halls, shaded courtyards and commemorative monuments. The site rewards visitors who take time to understand the people behind the statues, so a guide or some reading beforehand can make the visit more meaningful. Look beyond the much-photographed red walls to the historic inscriptions and shrines. Nearby Jinli makes an easy continuation once you have finished exploring.
