This memorial is a awesome journey to ancient china, colors, taste and smells. If you go to Chengdu make sure you visit the place :) More

Although the original site was destroyed, the current buildings were built during the Qing dynasty and has a historical feel to it. However, I was unlucky to have an unprofessional onsite guide. The guide was unable to explain clearly the historical significance of this place and was more interested in leading me to the souvenir shops. Although it was stated... More

This temple is good to visit for a good knowledge of Chinese religion, culture and history. The beauty is that it is a real functioning temple, not just a tourist site. The problem with this is that the signages might not be adequate for visitors; thus, a guide is necessary for a better understanding of site. Otherwise, just enjoy the... More

Found this place very relaxing. There was a festival/stage being set up at the time of our visit. The people were very friendly as we were walking around. It was very interesting place to visit. More

It's unfortunate there's not more literature here that tells the fascinating legends and stories that surrounds this Temple (you have to pay for a guide). This is a place for history buffs. More

So big! Lots of pavilions, and such an interesting story about the 3 leaders. I wish there had been more of the story in English though. The emperors private garden is just lovely. More

This is definitely a must-see if you are a card-carrying member of the Three Kingdoms fanclub. The sense of awe it generates to those who know and understand what they are looking at is indescribable. If you have read the book and are familiar with the characters, forego renting an audio guide at the entrance as it won't be telling... More

I wouldn't say it's a MUST-SEE when visiting Chengdu, but I enjoyed it. I know nothing about Chinese history (and I'm not all that interested in it), but it was still a beautiful, interesting place to wander around in. Set aside AT LEAST an hour if you plan to visit, and bring water with you if it's hot! Also, if... More

One of my newly acquaintance from ChengDu told me "please don't go to any tourist attractions that you have to pay, they are normally over-priced". I can't agree more! Unless you are a super fans of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", where going to WuHouCi is like a pilgrimage to you. Else, paying the RMB60 is just not worth it! More
