The brick enclosure forms an almost complete circuit around the old administrative center. An early visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Museum
Musée de Jingzhou
The collections bring together Chu's lacquers, silks and funerary objects remarkably preserved. The collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit helps to understand their regional historical context.
Temple
Temple de Guan Yu à Jingzhou
The sanctuary recalls the role of Jingzhou In the historical and literary narratives of the Three Kingdoms. The place remains culturally sensitive and discovers itself with discretion, without hindering local practices; schedules, outfits and photographic rules are to be checked on the spot.
