Jingzhou Travel
Saturday, May 16, 2009, 22:15
A worthwhile short stop if cruising the river, the ancient city of Jingzhou is about 8 km to the west of its modern counterpart Shashi. The old city is ringed by walls 7 m in height, which were constructed by General Guan Yu of the Shu State (AD 221 - 63). Within the walls stands the Jingzhou Museum. This has a large collection of ancient silk and fabrics and, more notably, finds from a Western Han tomb of a court official called Sui including his gory but well-preserved corpse complete with organs.
