Situated on the southern outskirts of Chengdu, capital city of Sichuan, the Temple of Marquis Wu was first built in the 6th century in memory of Zhuge Liang (181-234), a chancellor of the state of Shu-Han during the Three Kingdoms period (220-280). Due to his great wisdom, he was considered the greatest military strategist of his time. [Photo courtesy of travel.newssc.org]
