Wuhou temple was built in memory of the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang of the Shu State during the Three Kingdoms Period.

Wuhou temple is located in the outskirts of Chengdu. It was built in memory of the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang of the Shu State during the Three Kingdoms Period (AD220-280). It was originally built in the Northern and Southern Dynasties (AD420-589). Today, the temple here contains a statue of Zhu Ge and an impressive Three Wonders Tablet (it contains exquisite examples of calligraphy, carving and poetry). The tomb of the founder of the Shu kingdom, Liu Bei, is also here. This is an interesting place for those interested in Chinese history and legend. Inside the temple there is a small but good museum about the Three Kingdoms Period, a comfortable teahouse, a vegetarian restaurant, and an art gallery showing the work of Sichuanese artists
