The Ganlu Temple, Sword Testing Stone, Cruel Stone, Taishici Tomb, Lu Su Tomb, Jiang Sacrifice Pavilion, etc. here are all closely related to the true and false historical stories of the Three Kingdoms. It is said that Ganlu Temple was founded in the early years of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. Zhou Yu designed to use Sun Quan's sister as bait to lure Liu Bei to the Eastern Wu to get married, and took the opportunity to imprison him in exchange for Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang made a plan to urge Wu Guotai to Ganlu Temple to marry his son-in-law. As a result, the Sun-Liu marriage became true, and Sun Quan lost his wife and lost his troops. The iron tower in Ganlu Temple was built in the Song Dynasty, with nine levels and eight sides, and the shape is exquisite. The original tower collapsed due to a tsunami in the Ming Dynasty, leaving only the bottom three levels. In 1960, the Zhenjiang Cultural Management Committee discovered a underground palace at a depth of three and a half feet when repairing the iron tower of Ganlu Temple. The iron tower of Ganlu Temple was rated as the seventh batch of national protection in 2013.
