Zhuge Ancient Town (Mianxian)
诸葛古镇
A replica Three Kingdoms–themed district beside Wuhou Temple in Mian County, with Han costumes, live performances and snacks all in one place. It's often visited together with the temple.
Zhuge Ancient Town lies west of the old town of Mian County, right next to Wuhou Temple. Themed on Zhuge Liang and the culture of Shu Han, it is built from Han-style buildings that enclose lanes, squares and a lake. It regularly hosts Three Kingdoms live performances, Hanfu parades and a night light show, and offers local snacks such as Hanzhong mianpi and cai doufu. Entry to the ancient town is free, so it's ideal to visit Wuhou Temple in the afternoon and then stroll and eat here in the evening. Transport: about 1 hour from Hanzhong city centre via the Xi'an–Hanzhong Expressway or National Highway 108. Taxis from Mian County town can reach it directly.
