Chengdu Wuhou Shrine Museum（成都武侯祠博物馆）commemorates figures of the Shu Han state during the Three Kingdoms era. Its popular English name points to Zhuge Liang（诸葛亮）, the strategist granted the title Marquis Wu. The main ritual complex also contains the Han Zhaolie Temple（汉昭烈庙）for Liu Bei（刘备）, galleries of civil and military officials, Sanyi Temple（三义庙）and Huiling Mausoleum（惠陵）, traditionally identified as Liu Bei's tomb.
