You have to visit ancient Shu and feel the lingering charm of the Three Kingdoms.

when it comes to the three kingdoms, where do you think of the first place? Some people will say, isn't Battle of Red Cliffs the most famous of the Three Kingdoms? Of course, the first reaction should be Chibi. But for me, the first thing I think of is Chengdu. Chengdu, a city with a long history, was the capital of Shu in ancient times, which gave birth to local civilization. For the three countries, there are Wuhou Temple, Liu Beiling and Jinli Ancient Street. For the Tang Empire after many years in the Three Kingdoms, there is a "poet saint" who lives in Du Fu Caotang; Of course, there are Luodai ancient towns full of Hakka culture; Kuanzhai Lane, which is full of old Chengdu, is indispensable.

Wuhou Temple is the only temple in China to commemorate the joint sacrifice of monarch and minister. It is a memorial to the famous heroes of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Shu Han. At the same time, it is also the most influential museum of the ruins of the Three Kingdoms in the world. Now it is mainly composed of three parts: the cultural relics area, the cultural experience area of the Three Kingdoms and Jinli, and is known as the "Holy Land of the Three Kingdoms". Wuhou Temple was named after Zhuge Liang was named Wuhou before his death. The plaque at the main entrance of Wuhou Temple is "Han Zhaolie Temple", and the Liutong stone tablet stands in the shade of the gate. Its articles, calligraphy and engraving skills are excellent. Behind the second gate is Zhaolie Temple, which is magnificent; On the west side of Zhuge Liang Hall is Liu Bei's Tomb, which was personally chosen by Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei was buried here, which was originally called "Huiling"; After Liu Bei's Hall, Zhuge Liang's Hall symbolizes the relationship between monarch and minister, and the couplets on this topic are used by later generations to express their praise for Zhuge Liang. Wenwu Gallery is a place to commemorate other heroes, with civil servants gallery in the east and military commanders gallery in the west.

Jinli Ancient Street is a must-see for Chengdu. The architecture of Jinli is based on the style of Sichuan folk houses in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and its content is the culture of the Three Kingdoms and the traditional folk culture of Sichuan. Legend has it that Jinli is one of the oldest and most commercial streets in the history of Western Shu. Taking the spirit of Qin and Han Dynasties and the Three Kingdoms as the soul, and the style of Ming and Qing Dynasties as the appearance, the folk customs and folk customs in western Sichuan have expanded the extension of the culture of the Three Kingdoms. There are tea houses, inns, restaurants, stage, snacks, handicrafts and local products in Jinli Ancient Street, which fully demonstrates the charm of western Sichuan culture.

Du Fu's thatched cottage is an important experience in Du Fu's life, which is less heavy about the country and the people, and more leisurely and happy. Du Fu's Caotang is located on the bank of Huanhua River, where Du Fu created a large number of poems. It's like being isolated from the world, and no one comes to disturb his peace. You can get inner peace and comfort here.

Luodai ancient town is also a major feature of Chengdu, which is located in Longquanyi District of Chengdu. The town was built in the Three Kingdoms period. Legend has it that the jade belt of Liu Chan, the late ruler of Shu Han Dynasty, fell into the octagonal well next to the town and was named "Luodai". The world calls Luodai "the Luodai of the world, the eternal Hakka" and has the reputation of Hakka in the world. The cultural heritage of the ancient town is very rich. The Millennium old street and Hakka houses in the town are well preserved. The old street is in a pattern of "one street and seven alleys", and there are many shops on both sides of the street, which is a typical architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties. Luodai can be said to be a condensed history of Hakka immigration.

If you want to feel the strong flavor of old Chengdu, then go to Kuanzhai Lane. Kuanzhai Lane is a civilized street with unique characteristics of old Chengdu residential buildings. Most of the houses were built in the early Republic of China, a few in the late Qing Dynasty, and most of them were bungalows with two patios, namely, front and back quadrangles, with blue tiles and red eaves. From north to south, there are wide alleys, narrow alleys and well alleys in turn. The wide alley represents the most Chengdu and popular folk culture and presents modern people's memories of a city. The narrow alley shows the courtyard culture of Chengdu; There is a "new life" of Chengdu people in the alley.

Of course, you have to eat delicious food in Chengdu. Three cannons, pork intestines powder, Zhang Fei beef, soup and sesame cakes, sugar and oil fruits, buckwheat noodles, alms chicken and spicy hot pot are also indispensable. There are many delicious foods in Chengdu, so it's not a case in point. Of course, there are also places to play, such as eating delicious food in Jinli, seeing the handicrafts of craftsmen and experiencing the life of the old Chengdu people in Kuanzhai Lane.

Take a walk in Chengdu and feel the long history of the Three Kingdoms. If you are a fan of the Three Kingdoms, then visit Wuhou Temple. If you are a foodie, Jinli is a good place; Go to the ancient town of Luodai and experience different cultural characteristics. If you are not from Chengdu, then you will find a different Chengdu; If you are from Chengdu, you can experience the charm of old Chengdu.
