Changbanpo
Changbanpo is an ancient battlefield relic of the Three Kingdoms.In the autumn of 208 A.D. during the East Han Dynasty,Cao Cao led his large land force advancing to the south. He himself pursued and attacked Liu Bei with 5,000 cavalrymen.Liu Bei couldn't resist the army.He gave up Xingye County and was defeated at Xiangyang.When he escaped to Jingshan Mountain, he was surrounded by Cao Cao. He gave up his wives and fled with his people.At the critical moment Zhao Zilong (Liu's general) found Liu Chan (Liu's son) and fought against Cao Cao's troops single-handed.He killed 50 enemy generals, and succeeded in saving Liu Chan.Cao Cao also sang high praise for Zhao. From then on, Changbanpo became a well-known place.In 1582, a monument was built with four Chinese Characters written on it, meaning "A Stately Appearance at Changbanpo", but it was robbed of by the Japanese invaders.Now the monument in Changbanpo Park was a replica made in 1945.
