Where is the thatched cottage today after three visits—Travel guide to ancient Longzhong in Xiangyang!

[RedHeart] Xiangyang’s ancient Longzhong has a history of more than 1,800 years. Because Zhuge Liang “tilled the fields” and Liu Bei “visited him three times at his thatched cottage”, which led to the “Longzhong Plan”, it is known as the cradle of wise men and the source of the strategy of dividing the world into three parts. [Glister] Tour route: Stone Archway - Longzhong Academy - Wuhou Temple - Sangu Hall - Zhuge Thatched Cottage [One] Ancient Longzhong Archway: It is the symbol of Longzhong. It was built by Hubei Governor Cheng Wenbing in the 19th year of Emperor Guangxu’s reign in the Qing Dynasty (1893). It is an imitation wood structure with four pillars and three gatehouses. It is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and has curved corners and claws, which is magnificent. [Two] San Gu Tang: Built to commemorate Liu Bei’s three visits to his thatched cottage, it is an important place to understand the Three Kingdoms culture and Zhuge Liang’s wisdom. [Three] Wuhou Temple: It is an important place for worshipping Zhuge Liang. It has been repaired and expanded over the generations and has high historical and cultural value. [Four] Longzhong Academy: During the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty, Guangde Temple Academy was moved to Longzhong and named Longzhong Academy. It was an important base for academic research and cultural communication in ancient times. [RedHeart] Guangde Temple, adjacent to Ancient Longzhong, was first built during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty (627-649 AD) and was originally named "Yunju Zen Temple." During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty (1465-1487 AD), the temple was renamed "Guangde Temple" because Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty personally bestowed the plaque "Guangde Zen Forest". In 1988, the Duobao Pagoda of Guangde Temple was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as one of the third batch of national key cultural relics protection sites. [DoubleHearts] My feelings: Gulongzhong: It is a little far from the city, the tickets are a little expensive, and most of the buildings were built by later generations, but the stories that happened here are fascinating. It is a must-visit place for Three Kingdoms fans. Guangde Temple: The Duobao Pagoda in the temple was built during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty. It is a national protected site with a very unique shape. The ginkgo tree next to it was named the General Tree by Emperor Jiajing. When I went there, most of the ginkgo leaves had fallen, but the ginkgo leaves all over the ground still showed how magnificent they were before they fell. It is highly recommended. [HeartBeat] tips: If you do not visit Ancient Longzhong, you can take the bus directly to Guangde Temple, which is free of charge. On the return trip, take bus 512 directly to the city.
