Zhuozhou Film and TV Center

Zhuozhou is only 59 kilometers away from Beijing. It is a new tourist city featuring entertainment, bodybuilding and vacationing, and an excellent tourist city in China.

The stories in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms are very familiar to the Chinese people and circulate among the people. The birthplace of the culture of the Three Kingdoms is Zhuozhou, the hometown of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. “Liu Bei, Guan yu and Zhang Fei swore to be Brothers in the Peach Orchard”, one of the much told tales in the culture of the Three Kingdoms, happened here. The later generations built the Three Brothers Palace in Lousangmiao Village, the hometown of Liu Bei. The palace was first built in the Sui Dynasty, and was renovated in the Jin, Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The architecture in the palace has the typical style of the Han Dynasty. Guan Yu's famous tablet of “Bamboo in the Wind and Rain” is displayed here. There are many sites such as Zhongyidian Village (the hometown of Zhang Fei), Zhang Fei Well, Zhang Fei Temple, and the ten thousand mu of peach orchard where Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei swore to be brothers. These are valuable wealth for the later generations to study and appreciate the culture of the Three Kingdoms. And that's also the reason why Zhuozhou has become one of the world-famous touring destinations of the culture of the Three Kingdoms.
