Wuhou Memorial Temple was originally built by Li Xiong of the Western Jin dynasty

Zhuge Liang, who, as the defender and administrator of the Kingdom of Shu, proved himself to be more than just a military tactician, was very much liked by the people, and therefore he earned a place in their hearts. During his lifetime, Zhuge Liang's official title as defender/ administrator (i.e., Prime Minister/ Chancellor/ Regent) of the kingdom was that of "Wuxianghou". However, after his death, Zhuge Liang was given a different, or memorial, title (a common practice during China's dynastic past), namely, that of "Zongwuhou". But since Zhuge Liang was revered by the people, his memorial title was shortened by them to the more folksy "Wuhou", and when, during the Tang (CE 618-907) Dynasty, a temple was constructed to honor Zhuge Liang, it was named Wuhou Memorial Temple.

The Wuhou Memorial Temple, which is located in the south of Chengdu, is a famous historical site dedicated to the memory of both Liu Bei (161-223), Emperor of the Kingdom of Shu in the Three Kingdoms period (220-280), and Zhuge Liang (181-234), Prime Minister of the kingdom. Zhuge Liang (181-234) was not only a great statesman and military strategist but also the hero of the novel Sanguo Yanyi (the Romance of the Three Kingdoms). The temple was originally built by Li Xiong of the Western Jin dynasty (265-316AD), 400 years after Zhuge Liang's death, and rebuilt in the Qing dynasty with a total area of 37000 square meters.

However, the people objected to this, choosing instead to simply refer to the temple of Liu Bei as "Wuhou Temple". This temple was later destroyed in war (one wonders if the local people might not have had a hand in this!) and in its place a new temple was constructed in 1672 during the Qing (CE 1644-1911) Dynasty, commemorating both Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. This new temple is synomyous with the present-day Wuhou Memorial Temple.

West Lake scenic spots traditionally are the most classic and full of poetic imagery

Hangzhou with its tall buildings dominates the view to the east and tends to dwarf the lake buildings. However, the skyline of hills to the north and south as viewed when looking east is still intact and the Baochu Pagoda can be seen against the sky. It will be absolutely crucial that this skyline is maintained and that there is no encroachment of the city behind those hills that are visible from the lake. Welcome to China for Canton Trade fair.

The popular Chinese saying that "In heaven there is Paradise, while on earth there are Suzhou and Hangzhou" is testimony to the Chinese people's admiration for these two marvellous cities. Hangzhouers, who are rightfully proud of the uniqueness of their city with such a large lake in its midst, might add that though there may be two cities on earth claiming the title of paradise, the real one is in Hangzhou! The following historical background seems to provide further evidence of this claim.

The Jade Dragon Snow Mountains are a small group of peaks close to the city of Lijiang

The Jade Dragon Snow Mountains are a small group of peaks close to the city of Lijiang. The nearest slope is only about 30 kilometers north of the Dayan Ancient City District, and the mountain can be clearly seen from the Black Dragon Pool next to the ancient district. The group of mountains is notable because they contain good hiking along Tiger Leaping Gorge, great scenic views, and a 15,000 foot mountain with a specially built stairway and path to make climbing to the summit easy. If you’d like to climb to the top of a high mountain, that might be one to try. There is no sliding on steep paths or climbing with your hands, the distance from the tram is short, and oxygen tanks can be rented for a little more than 4 dollars USD. But the view is excellent! The tallest peak called Shanzidou has only been climbed once by two Americans who say it is extremely dangerous.

A Chinese poet once wrote: "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, level with sky all year long. Cloud ain't in love with peak, so peak starts to weep. Cliff turns steady, as if it is chopped by wind. Unconsciously as I am, new-born lush herb has grown luxuriant." The poetry describes the beautiful landscape of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
