Interesting facts about this location
Zhang Fei Temple
The Zhang Fei Temple was constructed to honor General Zhang Fei, a Chinese military leader from the Three Kingdoms Period. According to legend, the gold used to finance the construction of the temple was fished out of the Yangtze River, along with the severed head of the general, who had been killed by two of his underlings. During the 1,700 years since the temple was constructed, successive dynasties and emperors have added extensions to it.
