Wuhou temple (home of Zhuge Liang, Han Dynasty Minister of War)

OK, it's not Beijing - but it's some beautiful Chinese architecture.

I went to Chengdu last week (May holiday) and took a few pics of the Wuhou Ci, the former home of the famous Zhuge Liang - "minister of war" during the Tang dynasty.
