General presentation
Nanyang
Ancient medicine, memory of Han and wooded reliefs surround this large town in the Nanyang basin.
To understand what Nanyang is, you have to look at the Wuhou Temple of Nanyang, Han Stone Portrait Museum and Yamen of Neixiang County. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage and mountain reliefs and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Temple
Temple de Wuhou de Nanyang
The sanctuary honors Zhuge Liang in a set of courtyards and gardens south-west of the center. The place remains culturally sensitive and discovers with discretion, without hindering local practices; time, outfit and photographic rules are to be checked on site.
Museum
Musée des portraits sur pierre des Han
Funeral reliefs illustrate myths, processions and daily life under the Han. Season, wind and water level strongly alter the experience; we must also respect fragile banks and possible local restrictions.
Place indismissible
Yamen du comté de Neixiang
A large imperial administrative headquarters preserves courts, offices and residential courts. An early-day visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Temple
Temple de Zhang Zhongjing
The sanctuary honors the Han-era doctor traditionally associated with Nanyang. 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.
