based on 66 reviewsAncient Longzhong boasts a history of over 1800 years. Known as the cradle of wisdom and the origin of the Three Kingdoms strategy, it is associated with Zhuge Liang's humble farming life and Liu Bei's three visits to his thatched cottage, which led to the "Longzhong Strategy." Nestled amidst rolling hills, a mountain rises abruptly, bordering the Han River to the north, its forests and springs secluded and lush – this is Ancient Longzhong. Because Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, once lived here and ended his reclusive life here to assist Liu Bei in his conquest of the empire, the place gained its name from him. Ancient Longzhong has become a place of enduring beauty and tranquility, attracting countless visitors from home and abroad. Covering an area of 209 square kilometers, Longzhong is the place where Zhuge Liang, the outstanding statesman, military strategist, and thinker of the Three Kingdoms period, and his uncle lived in seclusion.

Show More ReviewsVisiting Gulongzhong far exceeded my expectations! The temperature in the mountains is two or three degrees lower than in the city. Ancient trees shade the bluestone paths, immersing you in the atmosphere of the Three Kingdoms period from a thousand years ago. 🌿 The stone archway and Wuhou Temple exude a rustic and profound atmosphere. Climbing Tenglong Pavilion offers panoramic views of Xiangyang city. The Bagua Formation puzzle and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow are full of fun, and the interactive immersive drama is surprisingly easy to understand. After a long walk, you can relax with a traditional Chinese tea at the thatched cottage. It's perfect for summer outings with kids and exploring the Three Kingdoms era. It's even easily accessible by public transport, making it a must-visit gem in Xiangyang!
