An old walled town in Zhaohua District south-west of Guangyuan, near the Jialing River. It was the seat of Jiameng County from the Qin dynasty, which gave its name to the famous Jiameng Pass, was renamed Zhaohua in 972 under the Song, and is known for its links with the tales of the Three Kingdoms. The town keeps brick walls first built under the Ming and rebuilt under the Qing, of which more than 300 m and three gates survive. Inside are stone-paved streets and wooden houses, with the tomb of the Shu Han minister Fei Yi close by, and legend says Zhang Fei and Ma Chao duelled nearby by torchlight at night. The town is free to wander at any hour, while the sights inside share a joint ticket, from 8.30 am to 6 pm in summer and to 5.30 pm in winter, per visitor guides.
