01What to see
Nanyang: the four places that matter
Ordered the way you should actually visit them, not by fame.
Wuhou Shrine
Zhuge Liang’s cottage and memorial halls, with 300 stone inscriptions. Two hours.
Nanyang Han Portrait Stone Museum
Carved tomb stones from the Han dynasty, one of the best collections anywhere.
Nanyang Museum
Bronzes, jade and the Chu culture of the region; free.
Funiu Mountain
A long ridge south of the city with caves and forest walks.
02Two-day plan
How we would plan your two days
Built around opening times and traffic, not around a list of attractions.
Day 1 · Shrine and stones
Wuhou Shrine at opening (two hours), lunch, then the Han stone museum and the city museum. Everything is within 20 minutes of the centre.
Day 2 · Funiu Mountain
A day in the mountains if you want walking; otherwise Nanyang is a clean half-day stop.
Local notes
- The Han stone museum is the reason to come — do not skip it for the shrine alone.
- Signage is Chinese only; a guide or a translation app is needed for the inscriptions.
- Summer is humid and hot; mornings are the only comfortable sightseeing window.
03Where to stay
Pick the area first, the hotel second
The wrong district costs you an hour a day in traffic.
City centre
Around Wuhou Square, walkable to the shrine.
East Station
New hotels, useful for an early departure.
04What to eat
Two things you should not leave without trying
Nanyang beef soupMilky broth with sliced beef and flatbread, breakfast staple, ¥15–20.
Steamed noodles (zhengmian)Wheat noodles steamed with pork and beans, ¥15.
05What goes wrong
