Tomb of Ma Chao
马超墓祠
The tomb and shrine of Ma Chao, a Shu Han general, which together with Wuhou Temple, Wuhou Tomb and Mount Dingjun forms a Three Kingdoms heritage cluster.
The Tomb of Ma Chao lies in Wuhou Town, Mian County. Ma Chao was one of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu Han, and his tomb mound, shrine, stone steles and ancient cypresses survive. The site is small, but Three Kingdoms enthusiasts often make a special trip here. Mian County has a concentration of Three Kingdoms sites, and Wuhou Temple, Wuhou Tomb, Mount Dingjun and Ma Chao's tomb are all close together, so they can be arranged into a one-day Three Kingdoms itinerary. Admission follows the on-site prices. Transport: about 1 hour's drive from Hanzhong city centre. Taxis from Mian County town can reach it.
