Overlord Xiang Yu Shrine
和县霸王祠
Memorial shrine at the Wu River site where Xiang Yu took his own life, with a cenotaph of his garments, dynastic steles, and views over the Wu River and the Yangtze.
Overlord Xiang Yu Shrine stands on Phoenix Hill in Wujiang Town, Hexian County. Tradition holds that this was the site of Wujiang Pavilion, where the defeated Hegemon-King of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, took his own life. A shrine was already here in the Tang dynasty. Today the site has a worship hall, a statue of Xiang Yu, a cenotaph of his garments and historic steles, including a seal-script stele by Li Yangbing. From the hill you can see the Wu River and the Yangtze. It is about 25 km from Ma'anshan city centre. Visitors can go after crossing the Ma'anshan Yangtze River Bridge, and it pairs well with a visit to Xiangquan Hot Spring.
