Humm, those are some good pictures, I had heard of the their being a temple out in Chengdu, that was deicated to the Shu kingdoms, it was called the Wuhuo temple or somthing. Intersting enough have they not found Guan Yu's tomb yet? Or was it historycally accurate that he had his head cut off by Wu so he couldn't have gotten a proper burial.

I like that fact about the Galbladder.

That may be where they are buried now but I can assure you that Zhuge Liang was origanally buried on Mount Ding Jun.

Zhuge Liang's real tomb is indeed near the foot of Mount Dingjun 定军山. The mountain is located in Mian 勉 county of Shaanxi province, hence my earlier statement that it is in Mian county. The "second tomb" is at Qishan 祁山 (Mount Qi) - some of his clothes are said to be buried there. And there is a famous shrine to him in Chengdu 成都, but it is not a tomb.
