Guanlin Temple is the only well-preserved group of ancient buildings in China, which functions both as a temple and a tomb. In 219 AD, the year before the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guan Yu was killed and his head was buried here by Cao Cao. Ever since then, Guanlin Temple has undergone numerous construction and restoration, but the original tomb remained intact. Nowadays, the Guanlin Temple boasts of over 180 rooms, 50 classic paintings and 200 sculptures. Attraction Intro: Guanlin Temple
