Near Baijiangtai, right at the center of Hanzhong, is Guhantai, the
ruins of the ancient palace of Liu Bang. Thousands of years have reduced
this monument of splendor to a pile of yellow earth.
Liu Bang Palace figured prominently in the annals of Chinese history
and many of the emperors in the following dynasties added their
own memorials to the site in honor of Liu Bang. Now the only buildings
left standing are those that were built in the more recent dynasties.
But the ancient trees that were planted in the Liu Bang period can
still be seen today.
This whole area has now become a museum, surrounded by beautifully
picturesque gardens. This is really the place to come if you're
seeking peace, and relaxation. |
