In December 2015, zhangfei temple was selected as one of the 30 Best New Tourism Landscapes in the Three Gorges. Zhangfei temple, also known as zhanghuanhou temple, is located at the foot of feifeng mountain on the South Bank of the Yangtze River. It is 382km away from the District of Chongqing, and faces Yunyang County across the river. It was built to commemorate Zhang Fei, a famous general of Shu Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms period. It was built at the end of Shu Han Dynasty and later repaired and expanded by successive dynasties. It has a history of more than 1700 years. It is said that Zhang Fei, who is brave and resolute, is eager to avenge his brother Guan Yu. He is killed by Zhang Da and fan Jiang, and his head is thrown into the river. A fisherman got Zhang Fei's dream at night and went to the river to salvage Zhang Fei's head. Unexpectedly, he caught a pot of gold, so he built Zhang Fei temple with the gold. According to the annals of Yunyang County written by Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, "in the first year of Zhangwu, zhaolie (Zhang Fei) moved to Langzhong, where his army met Jiangzhou. It's worth Zhang Da's convenience, and it's the first to go downstream. According to the local people, "if the fishermen get it, they will put it away. It's a nightmare, so it's a temple.".


According to historical records, zhangfei temple was first built in the last years of the Shu Han Dynasty, and then expanded in song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, with a history of more than 1700 years. Due to its close proximity to the Yangtze River, zhangfei temple was almost completely destroyed in the great flood in 1870. The existing buildings were built in succession from the Tongzhi period to the Guangxu period. On the stone wall near the river in front of the temple, there are four big characters: "the wind is clear on the river", which are vigorous and elegant. There is a statue of Zhang Fei in the temple. There are a large number of poems, inscriptions, calligraphy, paintings and other cultural relics since the Han and Tang Dynasties.

After the completion of the Three Gorges Dam, the temple will be submerged. At that time, a new zhangfei temple will be built on the south bank.
