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

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

Wuhou Temple is the only temple in China to commemorate the joint sacrifice of monarch and minister. This is to commemorate the famous heroes 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 Liu Tong stone tablet stands in the shade of the gate. His writing, calligraphy and seal cutting skills are all excellent. Behind the second door is Zhaolie Temple, which is magnificent. On the west side of Zhuge Liang Hall is Liu Bei's Tomb, personally selected by Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei was buried here, formerly known as "Hui Ling"; After Liu Bei's hall, Zhuge Liang's hall symbolized the relationship between monarch and minister, and this couplet was used by later generations to express his praise to Zhuge Liang. Wu Wen Gallery is a place to commemorate other heroes, with the civilian gallery in the east and the military commander gallery in the west.

Jinli ancient street is a place that you have to go to when you come to 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. The folk customs in western Sichuan take the spirit of Qin and Han Dynasties as the soul and the style of Ming and Qing Dynasties as the representation, which expands the extension of the culture of the Three Kingdoms. There are teahouses, 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, with a little less heaviness of worrying about the country and people, and a little more leisure and joy. Du Fu's Caotang is located on the bank of Huanhua River, where Du Fu wrote a lot 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, located in Longquanyi District, Chengdu. The town was built during the Three Kingdoms period. Legend has it that the jade belt of Liu Chan, the ruler of the late 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 streets and Hakka houses in the town are well preserved. The old street is in a pattern of "one street and seven lanes", 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 rich flavor of old Chengdu, go to Kuanzhai Lane. Kuanzhai Lane is a civilized street with unique characteristics of Chengdu's old houses. Most of the houses were built in the early years of the Republic of China, and a few were built in the late Qing Dynasty. Most of them were bungalows with green tiles and red eaves in front and back quadrangles. From north to south, there are wide lanes, narrow lanes and well lanes in turn. The wide hutongs represent the most Chengdu and popular folk culture, and present modern people's memories of a city. Narrow hutongs show the quadrangle culture in Chengdu; There is a "new life" of Chengdu people in the alley.

Of course, the food in Chengdu is also to be eaten. Sanpao, pork intestines powder, Zhang Fei beef, soup and sesame seed cake, sugar and oil fruit, buckwheat noodles, chicken and spicy hot pot are also indispensable. There are many delicious foods in Chengdu, which is not a case. Of course, there are places to play, such as eating delicious food in Jinli, watching the craftsmanship of craftsmen, and experiencing the life of 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, go to 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.
