This Temple is the only ancestral temple in China in memorial of both the king and his officer. Covering a total area of 14 hectare, it consists of Hui Mausoleum, the Zhaolie Temple of Han Dynasty, Wuhou Temple and the Sanyi Temple. It was built 1,800 years ago when Liu Bei's mausoleum began to be built in 223 AD. Throughout the North and South Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties, it had already been a famous tourist attraction. Du Fu, the renowned poet was inspired by this imposing temple covered by exuberance cypress, and composed the beautiful lines passed on through the ages, which says "where the Temple of Marquis Wu situates, amid dense growths of cypresses and pines, outside the Jingguan City".
