Each small courtyard has trees such as ginkgo, pomelo and osmanthus. Some of the trees are a hundred years old. People walk leisurely in the courtyards, and the scene seems to go back to the ancient times when the owner of the mansion lived leisurely in the courtyard.
Many of the stores on Scholarship Street have the word "Zhang Fei" in their names, such as "Zhang Fei Beef", "Zhang Fei Bookstore".... ..... Originally, there is a "Zhang Fei Temple". Zhang Fei was the governor of Langzhong for seven years, and people built the "Huanhou Temple" in Langzhong's "Scholar Street" to honor him. In the temple, there is a statue of Zhang Fei and his tomb, beside which kneel the two generals who killed him.
